That’s only useful for the current date, or dates within your current month. Otherwise this is worthless information haha.

“When was Archduke Franz Ferdinand assassinated?”

“The 28th.”

For a kidney, they probably used the body coil and it would have taken around 15 minutes. Does that sound right?

Unfortunately they did get in the room sometimes. For the most part, techs are really good about keeping the magnet room clear and not bringing ferrous items inside. However, even when things like that did get inside they really aren’t a problem to just pick up with your hands (or sometimes our titanium tools like pliers or a screwdriver to get a better grip on them). The pull is strong, but based off the amount of ferrous material so those things that are just a few grams are not really notable.

Yes I had two separate occasions of having to remove a ferrous table from a magnet. One was able to be removed with 5 of us pulling (using a tie strap for safety to make sure it didn’t fling when we repositioned it), but the other we had to ramp down the magnet to remove from the room.

I used to install and maintain MRIs (as well as some other medical imaging modalities) and this seems to be wrong any time I’ve ever seen it in media.

1. people will be shown in the magnet room with steel wheelchairs/patient tables/chairs/etc. or even their phones. None of that should be entering the room at all.
2. the images shown on the diagnostics will be like a radiogram or PET or something that would not show from an MRI.
3. the scan only takes a minute for a “picture”, when in reality having an MRI scan can easily take an hour. You may have some people taking only 15 minutes or so, but those are the quick ones. Clinicians will order a whole list of scans and each one takes several minutes.

Username checks out.

I agree with OP, and I think you may as well but are stating it differently. Hardships and difficulty so indeed provide the opportunities to better oneself, but that shouldn’t come from contrived abuse like bullying or hazing. Those are instances of someone using their previous difficulty as an excuse to make it harder for someone else which I don’t believe is morally correct.
