Due to a work injury a few weeks back, I have to get an MRI of my shoulder. While setting up the appointment I was asked a few questions about my current occupation and any pins, screws, or stents that I might have in me, etc.
Finally she said, "I almost forgot! Have you done any welding or grinding, for work or hobby, in the last ten years?"
I responded that I had and she indicated that I also have to get an eye x-ray prior to the MRI. The results would be horrible if I had any iron in my eye and underwent an MRI!
So, if you are getting an MRI done and they forget to ask about grinding or welding, please be sure to speak up!
