You dont see the wound. Your kid has tummy ache. Then a slight fever. Then a strong fever. Then a whole body inflammation and exitus-experience.

Parents can be quite ignorant of this. I had a broken appendix as kid, and was already drifting out of the world, when my parents finally decided to get a doctor. Interior wounds are not visible until it is over.

Still magnets are awesome.

I wonder how an MRI would turn out in this scenario.

An MRI would pull the magnet through the body. That would make quite the horrible wound.

But no doctor would order an MRI first, physical examination then one or two X rays first would be standard.
