MRI-safe equipment was introduced decades ago. The trainee brought in a regular wheelchair, violating rules and obviously wasn’t trained or supervised properly.
Apparently it isnt as commonly available and used as much as it should be or there arent strict enough policies being enforced. Maybe they need to start passing people though a metal scanner on the way in to the lab area.
Knowing that somewhere out there is an aluminum wheelchair that should have been used will not help remove the steel one from a persons anus.
When someone is brought in maybe they need to be brought to a space in the waiting room to be scanned or something.
This idea that this can keep happening is no longer just a training issue. Consider it an additional safety protocol. Most commercial butchers dont reeeallly need that scalemail armor, they know enough not to stab themselves. Other than Boeing most aircraft dont reeeallly need oxygen masks, the windows dont fall out at high altitude all that often. Submarines dont reeeeallly need to be made of metal...well, ya, maybe they should be.
Also it seems that there is an increase in extremely negligent care even from physicians due to the increased frequency and level of substances in their systems. There was just another thread the other day about a surgeon killing the patient by removing the wrong organ and not knowing it.
With nurses and other techs presently doing extreme overtime hours I dont think we could even guess the number walking around half asleep not to mention which of them also have chemically induced instabilities while on duty.
Maybe creating an atrium to the lab with an airport metal detector just out of reach of the MRI is a good idea. No amount of signs and training will stop a failure caused by drugs and sleep but an alarm might alert the sober members of the team something is wrong before it all goes haywire.
