    I don’t understand why people keep going into MRI machines with metal. Don’t they specifically tell you to take off all your metal?

      I just had an MRI 3 weeks ago and the tech asked me about 4 times if I was sure I took off all metal on my body and I kept saying I was positive. He eventually told me that people seem to think their metal bra hooks or metal eyelets on their shoes “don’t count” for whatever reason. I told him I was still positive I had no metal because I had planned to be in an MRI that day and wore appropriate clothing, but apparently some people just don’t get it that it’s everything.

      He probably wasn’t allowed to have his gun in the hospital at all, and was worried that if he took it off somebody would notice and take it away.
