"Wheelchair flies across hospital room."

In this article, a carless nurse in Southampton General Hospital in Hampshire is to blame for the "what could have been" very dangerous incident that occured during a MRI. An MRI was taking place and the strong magnetic magnets caused a wheelchair to fly accross the room and cause almost two thousand pounds of damage to the machinery in the room. An MRI by itself costs almost one million dollars! That is not something to be messing around with! The nurse was using the wheelchair and left it in the room during the patiens MRI and while the sesssion the magnetic was so high that it pulled the metal wheelchair into the machinery and damaged it, while not harming the partient or anyone else for that matter, that nurse got really lucky!wc=132
