Where was she hiding the gun? I'd rather not know

Woman getting an MRI accidently shoots herself when her gun slams into the magnets.
My first thought was "why did she have a gun in the hospital in the first place"? A fair question, but then I realized:
you have to wear a flimsy, thin, simple gown when you get an MRI. So where was she carrying/hiding the gun when it went flying into the magnetized equipment?

MRI mishap: Patient shoots herself in buttocks after magnet triggers handgun

In June, a 57-year-old woman inadvertently shot herself in the right buttock while inside an MRI machine when her concealed handgun discharged, as reported by the Food and Drug Administration.

How in the world did they not catch that? They use a metal detector wand on me to make sure I'm 100% without metal. They even ask if my tattoos are the metallic ink kind. She shouldn't have had it in the mri room but the tech should have caught it.

The crap that goes on with people in this world never ceases to amaze me.

some med tech didn't do their job, and some patient was lets just say, less than room temperature IQ to have taken a firearm that far into the hospital, I've carried while visiting someone in the hospital, but not when I'm going there for a procedure , knowing I'm going to have to come out of my clothes more than likely

I have had medical techs & nurses do some jaw-droppingly stupid things. Luckily, I've never had a doctor do anything that made them seem "clueless" so far.

Concealed means concealed!

Concealed means concealed!

Apparently "is that a gun in your pocket or are you happy to see me?" is NOT gender specific! Who knew?

I heard tell of a family lost the tv remote and when they took mama to the hospital for procedure the hospital team found it and returned it to the family. Told the nurse that explains why the tv would change channels when mama would sit down.

Where was that one?

Regardless, I hope they bought a new remote.

I just had one a couple weeks ago. They asked detailed questions about body metal. No one checked after I put the gown on. One could easily of carried most any thing in there.
