An ambulance driver carrying an oxygen cylinder got stuck in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine in Bhayandar while escorting a patient on Friday. Fortunately, the 40-year-old escaped with a fractured little finger on the right hand. The incident took place at Pratham MRI centre on Wednesday. The owner of the MRI centre, Dr NG Chauhan, denied that the incident took place. Chauhan told mid-day, “Nothing has happened at our MRI centre as such, nobody got injured.”
Chauhan said, “Only a small piece of metal got stuck in the machine and it was removed successfully.” But the radiologist at the MRI centre, Dr Dilip Pawar, after initially denying the incident, said, “One person got a minor abrasion in his hand and he is okay now.”
