Episode Details

Join us for this brand new podcast series exploring a fatal MRI accident that occurred in 2025. This first episode drops you straight into the story of a tragic (and preventable) MRI death of a man named Keith McAllister, prompting questions of ‘how could this have happened?’ and ‘could this happen again?'

This series is dedicated to promoting MRI safety for patients, healthcare workers, as well as visitors. By “peeling back” the superficial coverage to get deep into what happened, we’ll be exposing where MRI safe practices break down, and how expected and preventable MRI accidents happen.

Our entire first series centers around the horrible MRI accident that happened on Long Island, New York, at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury, NY, when a man who was trying to help his wife off of the MRI scanner table got pulled into the MRI scanner by a chain around his neck. The series dives deep into what happened, and who has responsibility to keep each of us safe if we ever need to have an MRI scan.
