life hack: if you break open medical equipment for salvage, cease this practice immediately, in light of just how horrifically that turns out sometimes

@solder_on There is a lot of danger, particularly with imaging modalities.

@Fahrenheit @thegibson really, really foolish thingsbut this is always truesomewhat specifically speaking: if medical devices (for imaging or other purposes too) are improperly disposed of, and salvagers try to dismantle them to find things like copper wiring or platinum components (as salvagers do with other electronics and machines), they will potentially cause incredible disasterand some people have done this before :( there's at least one specific case involving radioactive exposures

@thegibson @Fahrenheit the advice contained is intended to be suchthe container is meant to be amusing in the subverted expectation of some "thing" after "life hack"

@thegibson @Fahrenheit but if we don't clarify every single aspect how will we figure out how technically correct it technically is?!! XD*frets, wrings hands*
