Wow! Killed by a M.R.I. machine.

This has to be a first, ever. It’s unclear how this happened; however, a man wearing a large metal necklace entered a treatment room in New York while the machine was operational. He was pulled into the machine and died shortly afterwards. According to the article, an MRI machine has enough magnetic force “to fling a wheelchair across the room.” Who knew?

Believe me, when I am undergoing my subsequent treatment, I’ll think of this again when the technician reminds me to remove my St. Christopher’s medal and chain that I wear every day.
