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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

There's a lot of nipple ring enthusiasts around here. It's a sore subject... ... ... :D

This is why we wear surgical steel grade body jewelry instead of cheap stuff ??

Don't tell me you're another one that thinks steel isn't magnetic? All steel is magnetic...

Just be happy you didn't have a Prince Albert piercing ...

I'm really sorry I do believe you deserve this.. When working with these machines it's really important you remember things like this, how dangerous could it be for a patient or someone else if you forget.. It's safety and common sense really

You really really deserved this.

I've had 3 x-rays/MRI issues, and every time NO ONE asked me about piercings or jewelry. I'm so glad I remembered to take them out myself seconds before each procedure otherwise I would have had plenty of new burns and scars. The doc or nurses NEED to ask patients about this every time! I've seen what it can do to people. I hope you heal up quickly! Good luck on your training! Now you'll have a good story and lesson for when you get to be the trainer.

Piercings should be surgical stainless steel... Which is non-ferrous. I.e. No iron. I.e. Non-magnetic. Same reason they don't set off the metal detector at the airport.

That sounds odd. Stainless steel is usually steel and nickel. Not sure what the surgical part is. Suppose I could Google it.

Noooooo. I'm guessing you never sorted recycling when you were younger? You could use a magnet to tell whether a can was steel or not. That's how the big recycling plants separate the metals... Steel is most definitely magnetic. And ALL types of steel are ferrous. YDI.

Actually stainless steel (both common types) are almost always austenic - which is one of the major differences between hot pressed/cold rolled untreated steel and stainless. Stainless can become more ferritic as its welded or worked on. My guess: OP got ripped off and deserves and should seriously consider getting their money back
