MRI Patient Injured by Metal Butt Plug?
Social media posts claimed that a patient wearing a butt plug during an MRI suffered major internal injuries due to the metal core of the device becoming an "anal rail gun." While the claim's authenticity could not be verified, it exhibits traits of misinformation, such as being attributed to a personal acquaintance and being referred to as a "shitpost." MRI machines use strong magnetic fields that can pull on any object in a patient's body that is attracted to magnets or can be magnets themselves, potentially causing injury. Patients should inform technicians of any metal devices in their body before undergoing an MRI. Butt plugs with metal cores and balls do exist, but the exact brand in the meme could not be identified.
