This reminds me of a time I played with entering data into a terrible system.
A GE MRI scanner had options in the software that could be on, or off. Rather than a check box you typed ‘1’ or ‘0’. This is relatively recently.
I tried for a while to find a field that would accept other values, and eventually found one. When the sequences ran it crashed the scanner and the patient had to be rebooked as the reboot takes a long time.
I.. wouldn't like to be trapped in an MRI machine with an operator who's typing random values into the software to try to see what it does. I mean I know MRIs are relatively safe, but they're still huge machines with moving parts you're supposed to be inside of.

I don’t test on patients anymore.
