S1E7 “Supporting Cast of Litigants"

After Mr. McAllister got drawn into the MRI scanner, the situation went from ‘bad’ to ‘worse’ when the quench button purportedly failed to turn off the MRI’s magnetic field. This episode delves into the quench button and its function… who made it… who installed it… who maintained it… and what liabilities they might face.In MRI safety, the quench button is the last resort when accidents happen and someone is pinned against the MRI scanner. It is rare, but not unheard of, that this MRI emergency button would fail. So if the Nassau Open MRI quench button did malfunction, who made it? Who serviced this emergency button? Do they have a contributing role in the fatal MRI accident that killed Keith McAllister?While the lawsuit isn’t yet filed for this deadly MRI, this episode investigates the claim of the MRI quench button failure, and works to identify what parties might have legal responsibility if it didn’t work as intended.Created and written by: CAIREreporting.org and Tobias “Toby” GilkHosted by: Tobias “Toby” Gilk and John PoshPerformances: Mischa StantonMusic & Art: Reggie BattleProduction: MultitudeWebsite: InvisibleForcePodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
