Lawyer dies after gun triggered by hospital MRI scanner

submitted by BSR

1 year 9 months 2 weeks ago

A Brazilian lawyer tragically died after his gun was discharged by an MRI machine’s magnetic field at the hospital.

The freak accident occurred on January 16 while the gun-loving lawyer, named Leandro Mathias de Novaes, was taking his mother to get scanned at the Laboratorio Cura in São Paulo, Jam Press reported. Unbeknownst to hospital staff, the attorney had a registered firearm in his possession.

Staff had reportedly asked the pair to remove all metal objects before entering the MRI room, as is protocol at hospitals due to the device’s powerful magnetic field. However, Novaes decided to go in sans announcing his concealed weapon.

Disaster struck after the machine yanked the weapon from his waistband, causing it to go off and strike the lawyer in the stomach. He was subsequently rushed to the São Luiz Morumbi Hospital, where he hung on for weeks, before eventually succumbing to his injuries on February 6.

My mother worked at Houston Methodist Hospital when they first got an MRI in the 80’s.
Multiple employees were injured by entering the field with metal objects and more than once the machine itself was severely damaged. It’s no joke.
What was this moron thinking?

Only a good guy with a hyper powerful electromagnet can stop a bad guy with a gun.

They dont just let anyone in in a MRI room. Patient, and only knowledgeable staff. At least not in the USA.

The staff should have known better and not let him in the room.

?!

how does one forget they have a handgun stashed on their person? if so - what good is it?

damn fool. could have hurt the people trying to help him. hospital admin likely will install rules now. MRIs are ex$pensive to replace/repair.
