   A woman’s medical exam turned into a literal pain in the butt,   
   thanks to a poorly placed firearm. An adverse event report sent to   
   the Food and Drug Administration earlier this year details an   
   alleged incident where the woman was shot in the right buttock by   
   her own gun that was activated by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)   
   machine. Thankfully, the injury was relatively mild and she   
   recovered just fine.   
      
   The report was first filed in July by the woman’s healthcare   
   provider to the FDA’s Manufacturer and User Facility Device   
   Experience (MAUDE) database—a voluntary reporting system for adverse   
   events tied to medical devices. But the incident appears to have   
   first been publicly unearthed last week by The Messenger.   
      
   According to the report, the inadvertent discharge occurred on June   
   28. The unnamed 57-year-old woman entered the MRI room with a   
   concealed and ferrous (iron-containing) handgun. As she was about to   
   enter the machine, the gun was attracted to the powerful magnet   
   inside it and fired off a single round into and through her right   
   buttock. Luckily, the bullet barely penetrated her skin and the   
   doctor on site described her entry and exit wounds as “very small   
   and superficial.”   
      
   As anyone who’s ever worked with or gotten an MRI exam should know,   
   the magnet powering an MRI is always on. And patients are expressly   
   told not to bring anything potentially magnetic like metals into the   
   room to avoid these kinds of incidents. According to the report, the   
   woman received a standard screening for these objects and explicitly   
   said no when asked if she was carrying any firearms. It’s not known   
   whether she had a permit for the gun, however.   
      
   It isn’t just guns that can be dangerous while next to an MRI—people   
   have gotten seriously hurt and killed by wheelchairs, oxygen tanks,   
   and even metallic butt plugs. Bullets are a relatively less common   
   threat, but not unprecedented either. Earlier this January, a   
   Brazilian man died of a gunshot to the stomach triggered by an MRI   
   machine while he was assisting his mother (he reportedly also denied   
   having a weapon beforehand, according to medical staff).   
      
   The woman in this case was much more fortunate. After the injury,   
   she was taken to a nearby hospital. And she later reported that her   
   wound was “okay and healing well.”

   Shot in the ass and you’re to blame   
      
   You give guns a bad name.   
      
   A patient’s lie is all you give   
      
   You promise me you’re unarmed then put me through hell.   
      
   Magnetic fields got a hold of me.   
      
   When an MRI running you gotta be gun free.   
      
   Oh you’ve got a loaded gun. yeah   
      
   There’s no one else to blame   
      
   No one can save you   
      
   The damage is done.   
      
   Shot in the ass and you’re to blame   
      
   You give MRIs a bad name ( bad name.)
