"Nurse Trapped and Crushed in MRI Accident Raises Safety Concerns"
A nurse at a medical center in California was injured in a freak accident when she became pinned between an MRI machine and a bed. The incident occurred due to the machine's magnetic force suddenly pulling the bed towards it. The nurse suffered "crushing injuries" and required surgery. An investigation revealed multiple safety failures, including the absence of MRI personnel, lack of screening, and failure to test safety alarms. The medical center is facing an $18,000 fine, and experts warn that MRI accidents can occur when best practices are not followed.
