Gadolinium injections used as a diagnostic tool in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are known to cause serious side effects to those who have kidney issues. Some cases show that even if you do not have kidney issues, you may be putting your health at risk when getting an MRI done.

When you are getting an MRI, you are exposing yourself to a very high level of magnetic pull. This magnetic pull is strong enough to “suck a steel oxygen tank out of the hands of a doctor that is in the room” which then can strike a patient undergoing an MRI. This patient was a 6-year-old boy who as a result, suffered severe head injury. The tank was moving at a speed of about 20 to 30 feet per second. This boy died two days later. If you undergo an MRI, you should be proactive in making sure that there is nothing in the room that is metal and can be dangerous if affected by the magnetic pull. If you have experienced any health issues or injuries after undergoing an MRI, speak with a gadolinium lawyer.
