Episode Details

In July, 2025, Keith McAllister died in an MRI accident at Nassau Open MRI that was both anticipatable and preventable. What has the State of New York done in the intervening year to make MRI safer in their state? This episode tries to answer that question, and gives you a sneak-peek at our upcoming episodes.

The New York State Department of Health gaslit our hosts, pretending there was an investigation into the fatal MRI accident when there wasn’t one. When pressed on these details, they froze us out, so we resorted to a Freedom of Information Law request. After almost six-months, they finally responded to our request on what the state is doing to provide some minimum level of MRI safety to New Yorkers…

Despite reports of ‘following the events,’ and ‘ongoing investigations,’ and ‘attention to safety,’ we can’t say what – if anything – the NYSDOH is doing to help make MRI scans safer for New Yorkers. We can say, however, that Invisible Force will be doing new series on the MRI accident at Westchester Medical Center in which Michael Colombini died, as well as one on an accident at Redwood City Hospital where a nurse was trapped against an MRI scanner by an ICU bed.
