There was on one that I've been in, not sure about this one.

From my understanding, when an MRI is emergency stopped it doesn't stop immediately, and it causes a lot of damage, so staff are less likely to use it in an emergency. Stupid, yes. But when you're worried about getting fired for hitting a button, you're less likely to think of a situation as an emergency. You would think "chain strangling a man" constitutes an emergency though...

As for the staff not stopping the guy making a beeline for the door with more than just words, I'm not sure. I would prefer staff tackle me to the floor rather than let me blithely walk to my doom. Of course I'm only in my 30s...

The hospital is absolutely partly to blame, especially if they didn't properly convey the danger beforehand. All 3 hospitals I've recieved an MRI from have been pretty insistent about making sure I have no metal on or around me before I go in the doors though.

I'd say it's about 60/40 on the hospital.

Tldr for safety

To actually answer your question instead of piling on, it's a hospital, not a prison. In case of emergencies, the door absolutely cannot ever be potentially locked, even while the machine is on.

With how easily something can go wrong in an MRI, they need quick access without the addition of special keya/badges to get inside or relying on people inside to hit some lock release.

In cases like this it makes perfect sense to have a lock because an idiot was outside and ignored all the warnings. A lock would have prevented everything that followed him entering.

Buuuuuuut unfortunately we can't cater the entire world to the biggest idiots, if only for the safety of the less idiotic who might have a heart attack in the MRI and need to be quickly pulled out, or a piece of metal that snuck into their food and is now ripping out their insides.

In most situations where an emergency happens inside, quick reactions save lives, and locks slow reactions down to the slowest mechanism, which might be "I don't have the right RFID badge, go find another person who has one or the guy inside dies"

how did it not throw up red flags all around letting this guy wear it around that machine.

He wasn't allowed in the room.

His wife panicked in the MRI, he charged into the room he was told not to go Into.

Well, you're certainly entitled to your (wrong) opinion!

Lol it's not for everyone, especially if you started out with goldeneye. A lot of people I play with don't have the same appreciation for it, and that's okay.

And yeah, it's so cheesy, it makes people spontaneously develop lactose intolerance.

But much like the movie Evolution, I don't love it because it's groundbreaking and iconic to its genre. It's fun for me.

Why not just tattoo a number on their arm?

I'm sure there's no possibility that subdermal trackers would ever be used in shitty ways.

Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don't think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.

Wow, I sure am glad I know where to avoid dirty mods for skyrim now.

I can bookmark it so I know not to go there!

I'll be honest, they fucked this game over hard in my opinion.

It really does feel like they separated everyone into teams, and none of the teams spoke to each other once. They all just delivered their chunk of the game without connecting pieces together.

Base building was a nightmare, and that's the primary reason I downloaded it in the first place.

Then I finished the main quest and spoilers ahead for anyone who cares

spoilerThe concept of "well now you're out of the universe so let's go to a new one right at the start of the game again but this time a few things might be slightly different" was fun until all my hard work figuring things out with the bases got erased by "and by the way literally everything except your experience and abilities has been reset and you can either choose continuing the ability tree and maybe solve some mysteries of who built everything or you can care about the current universe but you can't do both"

Kind of killed literally every desire I had to play the game. Especially when they patched the easily accessed chests that at least gave me a shortcut to some things.

I made some comments on YouTube over the last week about LAPD and Israel, and all of them have been deleted without notice. Not even a warning of "hey you aren't allowed to talk about that" or "you violated a mysterious rule sometime"

But is it interactive?

Also I'm sure part of it for some people is the corruption of something that wasn't originally smut.

Wow, that's terrible! What mod is this? So I can avoid it? What a weird thing! That I'm definitely going to avoid and not go check out.
