In the claim submitted to the Supreme Court of the District of San Francisco it is also said that the problems with Geena's health proceeding long time led to a set of hospitalization and nearly $2 million medical expenses "from the pocket".   The list of defendants looks as follows:

The long-term injuries got by Geena Norris are listed in court documents: cognitive insufficiency; pains and burning in a body; injury of kidneys; loss of energy and mobility; a breath complication owing to injury of edges. Nearly five years later after poisoning with gadolinium it still needs regular treatment by stem cells and other procedures to recover the central nervous system.

The state of health of Geena was in detail described during the whole day of public listening of Advisory pharmacological committee of diagnostic imaging (MIDAC)  of the Management on quality control of foodstuff and medicines  (FDA) considering possible ghost effects of contrast substances on the basis of gadolinium. The commission polled as witnesses of producers and developers of contrast agents and also the patients having serious problems with health which they consider a consequence of use of gadolinium.

On listening Geena Norris's representative read the statement in which it was told that big problems with health began after during a normal medical disease carried out by her three MRT-scannings with gadolinium within eight days. Three days later she woke up in the middle of night with severe acute pain in a stomach.

Despite addresses to emergency aid and meetings with medical specialists, Geena Norris's health worsened to the fact that the central nervous system was strongly injured. According to the statement, the status of the spouse of the film actor is followed by a shiver, weakness of muscles, low body temperature, loss of weight, a hair loss, and other serious problems with health. Norrisa set a hyperbaric pressure chamber of the professional grade in which Geena performed about 120 immersions in the house to facilitate the serious physical condition.

MIDAC completed listening by vote which vast majority of voices supported that FDA reviewed the ordering information for contrast agents on the basis of gadolinium, and included warning of preserving of gadolinium in some bodies and fabrics.

As for legal procedure in San Francisco, Norrisa reported that hope to increase awareness of the public on effects of toxicity of gadolinium and also to warn patients about a potential adverse effect of GBCA.  

Unfortunately, legal procedure is the only thing that we can undertake to make responsible the pharmaceutical companies creating threat of life to the so many innocent people undergoing MRT-scannings, said in Geena Norris's statement. — These companies continue to claim that there is no communication between gadolinium and the subsequent unpleasant events, despite the stunning proofs of the fact that this heavy metal remains in an organism rather for years, than for hours.

Then Geena decided to look independently for the reason on the Internet. Having compared the symptoms and medical procedures preceding them to information in Network, she came to a conclusion that gadolinium is guilty of everything.

Courses of treatment Norris were effective, and she recovered.
