MRI Scanner Inventors Fry Mouse Then Test it on Themselves!

“We’re gonna need a bigger coil!” declared their magnet-maker Dr Goldsmith. After Christian inventor Dr. Raymond Damadian was declared ‘too fat’ for his co-inventor/friend’s coil for the MRI and a mouse getting fried they eventually settled on the other guy in the office who happened to be working on a separate project to achieve the same goal – Dr. Larry Minkoff who was quite skinny, who reluctantly but bravely tested the thing!

The Lord’s hand was in it’s success!

It was 1977 and they had to build a huge magnet, the side effects of putting a human inside it was not known. In fact the whole project was being ridiculed by their fellow scientists as the machine was ridiculously large and labelled ‘indomitable’! The resulting invention – the MRI scanner we all now know was a fantastic success and many of us have been fortunate to take advantage of it’s diagnostic abilities. Watch the video to see how God “had to be behind” the project that was at several times doomed to failure.
