Additional ballet shoe curses: traditional ballet shoes are basically made of satin, glue, and cardboard, cost like $120/pair, and a professional ballerina goes through a pair every performance. They also have to be broken in (literally, ballerinas do things like hit them with hammers and cut up the soles) and have the elastic and ribbons sewn on by hand. Since ballet shoes traditionally only come in pink, dancers of color also have to paint/dye every shoe to match their skin color. There's a brand of ballet shoe called Gaynor Minden that were specifically designed with the same materials as athletic shoes to be (slightly) more durable and comfortable. Many ballet schools and companies banned them at first, because the suffering is part of the art. Gaynor Minden was also the first manufacturer to offer shoes in multiple skin tones... in 2017.

I did ballet until I was 16, was never good enough to go en pointe which was devastating at the time but a huge relief now. One thing that was introduced when I was still competing was "split sole" ballet shoes, basically instead of one long strip of leather along the bottom, there would be two; one at the heel and one at the ball, with just satin between. It resulted in a more aesthetically pleasing pointe, without quite as much effort from the dancer. Of course, they were immediately banned from all competitions and dance schools (at least in my area) like they were performance enhancing drugs.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Had to get an MRI recently, and nope. They have a pretty exhaustive list of questions (that admittedly did not mention butt plugs) but it's basically all on the honor system. i also got one but they made me change my clothes because apparently some forms of dye can contain enough metal to violently deconstruct the fibers. Prob this is a crazy lie but who knows? Even after that they did the metal detection wand.

Wasabi the J posted:Skin and intestine are pretty elastic. Wouldn't they screen for that with a metal detector, though? One of the questions they ask if you've ever been a metalworker/welder, as those people can unknowingly end up with tiny flecks of metal in their eyes. Which would be bad in a massive magnetic field. But also, if you're going for an MRI why would your first thought be "Well, better find my favourite buttplug"?

Like I'm honestly surprised they don't just have a metal detector set up in the entrance to any MRI rooms. I'm sure there's a reason why they don't -I'm assuming cost and they probably miss stuff or something- but yeah considering how dangerous they can be seems like it should be a thing.

Those handheld wands absolutely suck rear end for detecting anything that isn’t a gigantic chunk of metal held directly against the wand and I absolutely wouldn’t trust it as a measure of “is this person going to be horribly maimed in my giant electromagnet box”

Also the patient was an rear end in a top hat for trying to pull a “teehee they’ll see there’s something up my rear end” nonconsensual kink move, they didn’t deserve to have their insides violently rearranged for it but they don’t deserve a free pass for it either.

I wonder how ferrous the metals need to be Like I know you can get weird magnetic behaviour in metals that might not show up under the relatively light magnetic field of a metal detector But when you start talking magnetic resonance of my cells it might be a power level that would cause aluminium to do wired poo poo

This sounds as bullshit as it is probably true. The bullshit part being laws like that are bullshit and shouldn't exist. Even if their not lying, peoples memories are god drat awful, and trusting just to someones memory when it's a situation where a bit of metal might rip off a bit of their skeletons or some such seems like a pretty bad idea. As for false sense of security, just not telling the patient their going to go through a metal detector before they answer the questions could help with that. Not sure if that would violate any medical ethics, as long as you do tell them about the metal detector at some stage. Do you have to inform someone if they go through a metal detector? I mean it's a type of search?

You can buy metal detectors for access to MRI areas and they work just fine but they're not usually recommended by any of the safety organisations as they tend to increase complacency in staff doing the patient screening and they don't catch all the potential hazards. Titantium fibre for odour control in sports kit for example doesn't carry any risk from the magnetic field but can lead to horrendous radiofrequency burns from the scan itself.

Did they hit the emergency vent button or just wrestle the dude away? Because emergency vent is some "replace the whole drat thing" and wrestling the patient away is "pulling a patient away with a 100+ pound force anal toy" Either way, that internals imaging doesn't look like things are where they should be.

Otana posted:I did ballet until I was 16, was never good enough to go en pointe which was devastating at the time but a huge relief now. Up to the collegiate level of organized sports in the US, girls account for a bit over 50% of sports related injuries and a good bit over 50% of tendon and ligament injuries. Considering that there are generally less (organized) opportunities for girls to compete in sports, that's kind of surprising. Remembering all the dancers, gymnasts, track and field people, horse riders, etc. hobbling around school when I was in middle/junior high and highschool, I can see that though. Maybe less broken bones, but plenty of braces, tight bandages, canes, and poo poo. A special shout out to barrel racers. They always seemed to have a sprained something and, rarely, horrific injuries to the back and hips. It's a neat thing to watch done well, up until the horse zigs, she zags, and poo poo goes *CRACK* to collective gasping and groaning from the crowd.

3D Megadoodoo posted:The ones they have at the courthouse and filth station detect my belt buckle, which is extremely light-weight (and thus breaks every week or so), and also my single Abloy key without fob. The courthouse has government money to pay for good metal detectors. MRIs are run by for-profit (whether or not they're for-profit on paper, all medical poo poo in America is for-profit in practice) who don't want to spend a dime on anything that isn't 100% operationally necessary, so they can dump as much cash as possible into the executives' offshore bank accounts. Jestery posted:I wonder how ferrous the metals need to be MRI magnets are unbelievably powerful. If it's ferrous, it will gently caress poo poo up. My mind was blown when I was told by an MRI tech that I didn't need to take out my apparently-completely-non-ferrous metal piercings, but she was right. Nothing got violently ripped out of my body that day. Scratch Monkey posted:When they flipped the switch the patient probably contorted like he was possessed. The magnet is always on. It costs tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to restart the magnet if they have to do an emergency shutdown (like they doubtless had to do for the buttplug patient). If the metal is ferrous enough, you don't even have to be the one in the machine. You can find multiple stories of cops' guns getting ripped from their holsters, and sometimes the guns even fire because the (ferrous) firing pin gets pulled forward and sets off the chambered round--one Brazilian non-cop who had a gun got shot by his own gun and died fairly recently.

I had an MRI a couple weeks ago and they didn't ask me any questions aside from my name and DOB. It had been over a decade since my last one and thought maybe the tech had advanced a bunch, maybe? Before I layed down I asked if I should take everything out of my pockets. They said, "Uh... like your phone and keys? Probably." Didn't instill a lot of confidence!!

the little metal bits in a pair of jeans wouldn't pull all that much and are generally safe to wear in an MRI, but depending on imaging location they may want them removed.
