MRI Mishap: Woman Shoots Herself with Concealed Gun

TL;DR Summary
A woman accidentally shot herself in the buttocks during an MRI scan after entering the room with a concealed iron handgun. The gun became attracted to the magnet, firing a single shot. The patient had gone through a standard screening process for magnetic objects prior to the exam and answered no to all screening questions. MRI machines use powerful magnetic fields to create images, making it crucial to follow the "no metal" policy for safety reasons.
