I have had MRI’s where Dr said with contrast. I try to say no...but it didn’t always work. The stuff is nasty.

Just have “contrast is contraindicated for this patient.”

And learn to say no chance.

The first time I had an MRI, they were going to give me that stuff. I declined because I had read how Chuck Norris initiated a lawsuit after his wife got very sick from it:

Fortunately, they were understanding, let me off the hook, and said they would have to have a doctor’s order for an MRI without contrast. So I left, pursued it, and went back when that order came in.
