S1E11 “Protect Yourself”
Description
All of these agencies and organizations promise to ensure quality & safety of medical care… do they actually do this for MRI safety? And if they don’t, what can we do to help make sure that the people we love are getting MRI exams at places that take our safety seriously?
In this episode our hosts change the focus from the MRI death of Mr. Keith McAllister and Nassau Open MRI to each of us, and what we, as MRI patients, can do to help protect ourselves or our loved ones, helping to assure MRI safety at the hospital or imaging center where we seek care.
Are the signs from MRI state licensure, or MRI accreditation, that are good indicators for us to find safe MRI providers? Should we be getting our MRIs at hospitals instead of outpatient imaging centers? Should we only be going to MRI providers who have MRI safety officers (MRSO) on staff?
