Episode Details

No number of first-responders could have pulled him out of the MRI scanner with that steel chain wrapped around his neck. While Mr. McAllister was being choked, why did it take so long to get him out? And why didn’t they just turn the MRI off? The Invisible Force podcast brings you along as we all discover together.

According to information from the family, Mr. Keith McAllister was inside the MRI scanner at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury, NY, for nearly an hour, with the chain pressing against his throat. Police, fire department, and paramedics all rushed to the scene, but they couldn’t get him out of the MRI scanner. Throughout this horrible MRI accident, they were helpless to do more than watch.

The MRI safety measure that should have helped by turning of the magnetic field in an emergency, the MRI quench button, appeared to malfunction. Without it, there was no good option for how to rescue this man who was dying in front of them. Without that button, they were watching a quick rescue turn into a fatal MRI accident.
