Today, I started my first training day using an MRI machine and completely forgot to remove my nipple piercings before I went in. I've never experienced a pain so vile and lingering in my life. FML

Today, I blanked and forgot to take out my piercing before going for my MRI, even though the nurses asked me multiple times to make sure I had no metal on me before entering, you know, the big machine made of massive electromagnets. The piercing was on my clitoris. FML

Lost in translation

Today, as I was translating for a patient to get an MRI, the tech asked if I had metal in my body. In front of the patient, I had to disclose that my nipples were pierced, so I couldn’t accompany the patient bedside. FML

Today, I got a nipple piercing. My girlfriend thought I was pranking her with a fake piercing, because I wouldn’t be "daft enough" to get a real one, and she yanked it off, or rather through, my nipple. Yes, it cut my poor nip in half, and I now have two nipples where once I had only one. FML

Today, I learned I'm claustrophobic by having a raging oh-god-I'm-gonna-fucking-die panic attack while I was stuck inside an MRI scanner. FML

Today, I went to a seamstress to be fitted for my wedding dress and left with a pierced nipple. FML

Today, I nearly sliced my nipple off while shaving my chest and had to go to the ER. Turns out it was a teaching hospital so I got to explain in front of two doctors and eight med students how, even though I'm a woman, my nipples are so hairy I have to shave them. FML

Today, I spent the first day of my senior year in the ER because my new ear piercing got so infected that the doctors had to cut the earring out. FML

Felt that

By jdot747 - 18/01/2009 01:48 - Canada

Today, I posted a question on a forum asking if my week-old nipple piercing would get hooked on anything easily. People assured me that it would be fine. An hour later, I had to climb over a wall to get something and in lowering myself down I forgot about it and dragged my nipple along the wall. FML

Today, I went to get an MRI for preventive care. The diagnosis was great, but I ended up having complications with the contrast, so now I have terrible muscle pain and have to see more doctors. I have mixed feelings. FML

Today, I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled. As the dentist was drilling, he accidentally hit a nerve and I ended up screaming in pain. The whole office heard me and now I'm too embarrassed to go back. FML

Aaaaand today I learned that if I take a MRI I have to remember to take out my nipple piercings.

Why do people get their nipples pierced??? I'm not against it or anything but It just seems like it'd hurt more than it's worth.

First thing you should learn is that MRI stands for MAGNETIC resonance imaging.

I have 2 dermals above my chest and I cannot fathom the pain that caused!

An MRI is a MAGNETIC Resonance Imaging machine. All magnets. OP was wearing magnetic nipples piercings, and the jewelry did or almost did get ripped out of his nipples by magnets.

Dam, knew it had magnetic stiff but I thought you where unaffected inside the MRI.

Pro tip: Hand polished internally threaded biocompatable jewelry isn't magnetic. It's also the only type of jewelry that should be used in piercings. Sounds like you need an upgrade.

How did they even let you near an MRI without you knowing that very basic info about it? The school you're going through for your medical imaging degree needs to give you a refund and be shut down.

By the time most rad techs are doing on the job training they will have been in school for at least 3 years and probably working on their 4th. They are trained and educated extensively on these machines before being allowed to use them in a real world setting. It sounds like OP didn't pay enough attention or had a brain fart that day.
