yeah what annoyed me was the Lady asking to just turn it off like you can just turn it off. i know she is desperate to undo her and her husband's stupidity but the article framing those quotes like the tech was incompetent is bad journalism.

Can you imagine watching your loved one suffer and die in front of you? It sounds extremely brutal

You absolutely can turn it off - it's called quenching the magnet, and the tech absolutely should have been trained to do that in an emergency. There was no way in hell they were physically pulling him off. It's obviously that they did eventually, but the article doesn't say how long it took 🤷‍♂️ to be fair, I'd bet that basically all of the damage was done up-front, regardless - MRI magnets are so much stronger than most people realize.
