I don't think it is how they look. MRI machines are incredibly loud and "thunk" repeatedly.

- xyzzy123 13y agoThis is addressed in the article; the "thunks" get incorporated into the MRI "adventure".
- mitchty 13y agoAfter dating a nurse and finding out about a bed that was just a bit too close to the thing getting sucked in. Yeah, MRI's aren't exactly risk free "adventures".
- gohrt 13y agoFortunately, most humans don't spontaneously generate ferrmagnetic materials. Only Wolverine is at risk in that regard.
- mitchty 13y agoThe only problem is if you are in between a metal object and the MRI machine however. Unless you're planning on augmenting yourself like in Deus Ex I agree its not a big deal. But a big thing coming at you at high speed would ruin your day.
- vacri 13y agoI can point you at a similar issue anywhere in a hospital. Hospitals are dangerous places when there's a misstep, which is why they spend so much time training on procedure.
- DanBC 13y ago"You can be brave", "there's nothing to worry about" do not work, because even brave people feel fear and there are things to worry about; those big clunk noises. "It's a bit scary isn't it! Look, it's a big machine! It makes lots of loud noises, and you're in a little space. But it's an adventure!" changes expectations. You're allowed to have fear and express it. But you're allowed to enjoy it too. > Just before the whirring and banging of the machine gets louder, the operator encourages young patients to listen closely for the moment that the craft “shifts into hyper-drive.” This reframing transforms a normally terrifying “BOOM-BOOM-BOOM” sound into just another part of the adventure.
