A patient ended up shooting herself after her handgun accidentally fired while she was in an MRI machine, according to a report from the Food and Drug Administration.

The report said the incident happened back in June, but the report didn't indicate which hospital the incident occurred.

The FDA said a 57-year-old woman was brought in the magnet room. The handgun was attracted to the magnet, which caused it to fire.

The woman was shot in the right buttock area, the report said. However, the wound was described as small and superficial.

From the report:
"The site reported that prior to the exam the patient had undergone a standard screening procedure for ferrous objects, which includes weapons specifically, and answered no to all screening questions."

If they died, I'm Curious which category this would have gone in: 1. Killed by healthcare or
2.Killed by firearm

Of all the stupid places where metal detectors are already used, I would think the office with an MRI would be a good place for one.

I find it interesting that we're all here trying to throw shade on the hospital staff while a 57-year-old grown human being brought a gun into an MRI room, violating, like, 10 different common sense rules. If she had died, it would 100% qualify for a Darwin Award.

I just had an MRI done. I had to change into a hospital gown and leave everything but my glasses in a locker. Was asked multiple times about metal in my body too. It seems really dumb to have the patient walk into the MRI room fully dressed and with all their belongings, doesn't matter how they answered questions about 'ferrous objects'.
