Looks like a bad porn plot.

Sadly this isn't the first time. Years ago I read a story about a man who took his mother to get an MRI. While he was there his gun went off and killed her.

How did she sneak it in though? Usually aren't you wearing a hospital gown at this point?

No you can have them done in regular clothes. You'll typically only wear a hospital gown if you're staying in the hospital beforehand.

I've had 2 MRIs and I wasn't staying in the hospital either time but I had to put on a gown both times.

That movie goes hard for a 12 year old boy looking for something to try and be as cool as the matrix.

Plus all the wonderful, beautiful songs picked for the soundtrack.

On the bright side, she prevented an attack by a gunman in the MRI.

Saw a similar case this year here in Brazil, earlier in february. A pro-gun lawyer was accompanying his mother on a MRI. Once the thing started, his gun, a 9mm pistol, was sucked and shot once it got stuck on the MRI, hitting the man in the belly. He died 21 days later.
