Full title: A 44-year-old man went to the hospital after pus began oozing from his chest, where doctors discovered a knife that had been embedded in his body for eight years. According to the report, he showed no signs of chest pain, breathing problems, coughing, or fever, and was otherwise in good health.
Lucky they didn’t go straight for the MRI
I have worked so much with lathes and milling machines, that I fear having to have an MRI.
I bet I’m full of small bits of sharp metal. In fact, I have a macro photo of my finger full of tiny needles.
If you get scheduled for an MRI they will specifically ask if you have worked as a machinist. If you answer yes, they make you go to a location that can take x-rays before letting you in the MRI machine.
At least, that’s what happened when I had to schedule an MRI.
