I had an MRI a few months ago. Somehow myself, and the techs missed my wedding band. The machine fired up and I felt my finger pulsing and this weird sensation, immediately squeezed the bulb they give you. Nurse comes in, “DONT TAKE IT OFF!”
She wrapped her hands around my finger and slid it into her hands and carried it out. Crazy how much that machine pulled at that band.
This is bullshit. First off, the magnet doesn’t start pulling when it’s “fired up.” It’s always on and it would have started pulling on your ring as soon as you got close to it. Second, it’s very unlikely that a tech would have missed something as obvious as a wedding band. They do multiple screenings and checks. Maybe, I mean human error is a thing, but given that this story is 100% bullshit from the first point I don’t like seeing hardworking techs getting their names dragged through the mud for your fake internet story. And third, they (again, very unlikely but not impossible that things could have potentially happened the way you told it) would not have removed the ring from your finger and created a loose, dangerous projectile. They would have removed you from the scanner to the screening area and then removed the ring. But again, this never happened. I mean, it’s cool if you want to make up stories on the internet, but don’t disparage people to do it.
Most wedding bands are gold aren’t they? Gold isn’t magnetic and can be worn for MRIs. As can titanium piercings. I have one in the cartilage of my ear that’s stuck. I’ve had multiple MRIs on my knees with it in. I still call bs on that persons story though.
lol I didn’t need to be there to know this is not true. And you are disparaging the professionals that worked hard to take care of you by saying they’d have made such a stupid and obvious mistake, if you even had an MRI. I am worked up because these are my colleagues and you’re making them out to be morons that don’t know how to do their jobs. Have some decency.
His name is Jerry and my wife works with them. Nothing ever happens, you’re right. Carry on. I LOVE how angry you are that you doubt I even had an MRI. Anything else I can do to make your panties get so twisted? Thanks for disparaging my health issues! Cheers!!!
I was about to say that if you had a gold wedding band, it probably wasn’t the quality of gold you thought it was. Also, it’s probably why the techs might have missed it at first as bands are typically gold.
Or, just use a really powerful electromagnet to get a response from something that is paramagnetic, like an MRI.
To your point and to clarify what you mean for anyone else, pure tungsten is paramagnetic, but its the iron (or other) binders that are used in tungsten carbide that are more responsive.

Glad you were there. I’m not disparaging anyone. You are pretty worked up. I recommend taking a deep breath and relaxing.

“Anyone who disagrees with me is angry!” Okay, guy.
What material is your wedding band made out of?
What is the band made out of?
Tungsten carbide.
Ah. That’ll do it.
I was about to say that if you had a gold wedding band, it probably wasn’t the quality of gold you thought it was. Also, it’s probably why the techs might have missed it at first as bands are typically gold.
Tungsten carbide is only very weakly paramagnetic… you need to mix in other metals to get a strong response…
