    That would not cost billions. Not even close. It would certainly be far cheaper than the cost of repair.

      Did you forget that thousands of hospitals exist just in the US? Or at least did before 2025.

        Not all of them have MRI machines, and regardless of its cheaper than repairing them.

          Hundreds probably do though. I don’t know. I’ve never heard of anything like this happening. I think it’s probably exceedingly rare. I had an MRI and the number of times I heard and read the warnings about metal was exhausting. It feels almost impossible that someone could not know about that specific danger.
