My fiance swallowed a paper clip (no, I have no clue how) and I took her to the ER to be examined. Xray showed nothing unusual so they sent us home. She says it still feels like its in her esophagas so I checked her with the MXT. I got a signal in the middle of her shoulders that VDI'ed as iron/foil. Before panicking and rushing her back to ER I had her try the same on me for comparison. Unbelievably, the same result. MXT says something is roughly in the same spot on me as is in her. Question: is the MXT finding the iron in the blood supply that is in large amount in the heart? Or does anyone think that we should both check ourselves into ER? I'm not joking- this just happened in the last 2 hours. Thanks in advance-
