Gadolinium is the type of contrast that we use in MRI. Some people can get toxicity from gadolinium even though they didn't have problems with their kidneys. Chuck Norris and his wife Gina are suing. I just looked it up for $10 million. Also went on a rabbit hole about Chuck Norris trivia, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts,. tooth finiers, which he also has, mustache memes.
Hey, kiddo, it's what's INSIDE that matters -- like your guts and bones and squishy brain and intestines and stuff.

You'll want to hug a radiologist ... as soon as they take their lead gonad shield off.
