Dr. Matthew Harb specializes in minimally invasive, muscle sparing, hip and knee replacement surgery. Minimally invasive surgery allows patients to recover faster and have less pain post operatively. Implants are tailored and custom fit to each patient to allow for improved performance. Dr. Harb’s expertise in rapid recovery protocols allow for quick recovery after surgery and excellent outcomes in patients with hip and knee arthritis. With minimally invasive, muscle sparing surgery patients can return to their lifestyles and get back to doing the things they love sooner. Dr. Harb performs outpatient joint replacement surgery with many of his patients walking independently and going home the day of surgery.

“My focus is excellence in patient care, expedited recovery after surgery, and getting people back to the normal activities they love. Our team focused approach is committed to superb outcomes, improving lives, and returning patients to living pain free.”

I can’t imagine just laying in this machine trying to figure out what terminal illness I have and all the sudden the spirits of the WWE just slams me with a folding chair

Why is there a metal lawn chair in an MRI scanning room in the first place?

The iron in my blood just jiggled a little

I got an MRI yesterday and I’m glad I saw this after

A man died here in brazil, when he was carrying a pistol and was accompanying his mother in the mri room. The gun went off on its own and hit him in the abdominal area, he couldn't resist the wound and died days later. He even signed the term saying he didn't carry metal objects. And look, in Brazil there are a really small number of people allowed to concealed carry guns. It's a wake-up call for North Americans, as many out there carry guns.

The way it still floated when they pulled it out

"Should we shut it off?"
"Nah I'm enjoying the show"

Had a MRI done as a kid, about 8 or 9 years old. Got one of the worst headaches in memory.

My dad used to work in famous cancer center, and when they would have the chance, or needed to work on MRIs, a few of the facilities guys would tie paperclips or ballpoint pens to cord, and see who could get it the farthest down the tube without getting it stuck to the side. Then it would take 2 or 3 of them to pull the clip off.

Also, they would occasionally get a stupid nurse or tech that would bring a patient in in a metal wheel chair, and it would collapse on them and pull them to the machine, so that would take a few people to pull off and spread to get the patient out. Good times.

We waited forever to hear back from my neurosurgeon to confirm the rods in my spine are indeed titanium before doing an MRI

I wonder what would happen if they were magnetic though 😬

[m.p]

they even ask if you have tattoos and where they all are because tattoo ink used to have metal compounds like lead in it which reacts to MRIs as well. the nurse i had told me she got an MRI once and her tattoo started burning because the ink contained lead meaning it was starting to react to the machine.

I was security at a hospital. Knowing how to shut this off was one of the things they taught me. Also, there are special fire extinguishers placed near them. Can't use a normal one.

When you realize that an electromagnetic cannon is just a bunch of MRI machines taped together

I didn’t know this and forgot to take out my nipple rings.

[punkgothichick]

I got screws and bone plates in my head so when I get an MRI they literally have to pin my head down. It's a very weird feeling

[gavinsonsalla]

Fun fact I was on the table about to go INTO an mri when i noticed my brace's herbst device was magnetic. Love my orthodontist, neglected to tell me it was magnetic after i told them i was getting an mri. MRI operator saved my life. Could have had by jaw ripped out through my face if I was 10 seconds slower.

I remember when I was having one of many MRI scans done as a teen, one lady telling me about how at another hospital a person was killed when the machine sucked in a fire extinguisher (that obviously wasn't supposed to be near there!) and it hit the person in the head with such force that it killed them. Definitely not a comforting story before being put into that machine for over an hour! I went in with my aunt when she had an MRI done a few years ago. I had my debit cards, credit cards, and drivers license in my pocket while sitting right next to her the entire scan and it erased the magnetic strips on all of my cards! I didn't even realize what had happened until none of my cards worked lol!

[funent]

Had Mri plenty of times. Glad shit like this never happened
