Good thing Neo-Chicago made medical malpractice lawsuits illegal
Dick Tracy, 11/17/22
Look, I know, we're never getting back to the glory days of "guy in gimp suit gets eaten alive by rats," but you have to admit that we're coming pretty close with a Dick Tracy villain named "Steelface," whose whole thing is that he has a steel plate in his face that's magnetic, and you'd think that he'd be know about situations where such an arrangment would be dangerous, like, say, getting into an MRI machine, and also you'd think the medical techs would ask questions like, "Say, you don't have a steel plate under that bandage, do you?", but it turns out nope on both counts and now he's going to get his skull ripped apart by the MRI machine's powerful magnets. He only ended up at this hospital because he hit his head fleeing from a police raid on his stolen car operation, so we can basically credit this grisly death to the cops, or at least that's what they'll be telling themselves while they stand around watching the poor hospital night shift guy scraping what's left of Steelface's face off the inside of the MRI machine with a putty knife.
