People like that guy is the reason some MRIs require you to walk through a metal detector first. People are stupid and will ignore safety measures all the time.
If I’m remembering correctly, the butt plug he was using was marketed as being 100% silicone, so he figured it would be safe. He didn’t know it had a steel core in it.
I had abdominal surgery several years ago and the surgeon mentioned that they left some clips inside. To this day I have no idea if they are magnetic or not.
Apparently once the clips are fully melded with your body that may no longer be an issue. Note I am not saying it won’t be an issue.
If going for an MRI fill in the questionare and bring it up with the doctor before stepping in the MRI no matter what. Better safe than shotgunning yourself.
Thanks. I did a bit of Dr. Google research (and everything on the internet is true!).
It seems that surgical clips are usually not magnetic, but it depends on the type and year of manufacture, etc. Mine are several years old. So yeah, I would definitely bring it up if I ever need an MRI. I’m used to doctors acting annoyed and condescending, so what’s one more time?
Hopefully they don’t perform MRIs on unconscious patients. Nothing in 'Murican healthcare would surprise me.

Sounds like that guy wasn’t being stupid though. He didn’t know it had a metal core.
