The woman reportedly screamed out in pain as she was being taken out of the machine.

An anonymous medical provider reported the strange incident to the Food and Drug Administration in April 2023, though it’s received renewed media attention this week. The 22-year-old woman reportedly screamed out in pain as she was pulled out of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine following a scan, which then prompted her delayed admission of having had a “butt plug” inserted.

This is a new article, but a previous incident was they thought it was 100% silicone from the package.

Yeah easy mistake to make then, I always make sure to have my silicone butt plug in on days where I'm going for an MRI for this exact reason.

Her two braincells must not have been talking to each other that day. That's an easy way to earn a Darwin Award..

They do MRIs outside hospitals?

Some private practices or specialty clinics have MRI scanners but may not be equipped to deal with such damage as this.

There was a semi-recent incident at a diagnostic center where a police officer ignored a warning sign with predictable results.

Wow. Raid a doctor's office looking for weed, kill a machine worth more than your life, and then leave your ammo. What a cop.

There are imaging centers that are medical facilities but are not necessarily equipped to handle acute trauma

Sometimes I feel like a real hillbilly
