This isn't real please stop spreading misinformation
There is an FDA report on it. There is nothing saying that it is a hoax or that it is fake.
If you're going to claim something is fake then I highly recommend you actually provide sources to back yourself up instead of this weirdly aggressive accusation based off of, seemingly, literally nothing.
It's also just not how MRIs work. The magnet is on before the patient is in the room. They would be injured before the scan. The fda incident is likely heating due to eddy currents in non magnetic metal which is more in line with the injuries people sustain with their rings and shit when not removed. Like why induction stove has magnetic interlocks else wedding ring cuts finger off
So it's just another clickable lie, because of course it is, it's too perfect. I can't fact-check everything and it's a bad use of time if I have to.
I gotta get off of social media entirely, I can work with fiction presented as fiction but it's just an endless firehose of lies from people who think they have a god-given right to lie as much as they need to, on every platform. The AI thing is just getting started. I lost track of reality several months ago, and that's not supposed to be some sort of jokey joke.
you can't prove a negative. How do you prove something didn't happen.
Read your own link, no attached image, no mention of internal hemorrhage, no mention of material. The misinformation post might be inspired by this but that image isn't real.
Last I saw was that the incident is real, but the image and associated text are not real. But can't remember where I read about this.
"Although MDRs are a valuable source of information, this passive surveillance system has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."

Snopes says 🤷
No snopes says:
They further point out the fda report predates that post by 1 day so it could be inspiration for the joke or maybe real but no confirmation and then explain a bit about MRIs.
So basically they can find no primary sources, lots of evidence of a lie, but no primary source claiming to have made it up.
You can always treat stuff as science fiction and enjoy regardless. What's the harm!
Increasingly large segments of society are losing their grip on reality. Distinguishing fact from fiction requires practice if it is to work when it matters.
Just look at OP asking me to prove a negative, something literally impossible.
A lot. Imagine antivax and flatearther use your argument when caught lying.
Man, I could be wrong but I swear the flat earth started as a joke like the whole "birds aren't real" thing. But it had a more intellectual thought excersizey angle like "tell me why the earth is round". I know for a fact that's how my earth science teacher used it getting into how to structure a testable hypothesis and the scientific method. I wonder everytime I see flat earth shit when exactly he had to retire that one. It's to bad because it was great then.
Yeah, iirc Qanon start as a 4chan joke that got seriously bad too.
