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.
I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
