Medical equipment risks aboard ships

What medical equipment could endanger a ship if it malfunctioned?

The discussion raises medical-gas and chemical hazards alongside disagreement about MRI integration and its usefulness on a warship.

The participants first debate whether a properly installed MRI could threaten its surroundings, with shielding and shipboard electrical arrangements entering the exchange. Dan objects chiefly to the equipment's weight and limited relevance to the warship role he has in mind, and favours CT for that setting. Medical gases and other supplies are then identified as additional hazards, with oxygen and nitrates mentioned. The exchange contains different assumptions about the vessel and installation, so it does not establish a single failure mechanism for every ship.
