My father-in-law had an MRI. He told them he had a knee replacement. They said that would not be a problem.

The machine twisted his leg in knots, with his foot up beside his head. They heard his screams and turned the machine off.

Doctors said the mangled knee replacement was too much of a mess to try and remove.

He never walked again. He had always been very active, but now couldn’t get out of bed without help. He died less than a year later.

Horrible example of medical malpractice.

When did he get his knees? I am trying to understand this in view of fact that knees have to be SS steel and have been so for a long time.....

By the way I’m getting new knees soon and so this is is quite pertinent....
