Oh , I see you tried that already  -
did you request to speak with /supervisor or management and file a written formal complaint {with copy for self}.
They need to find out if it was technician error or equipment error/malfunction.
You might need to search the facility / owners to go to the next level of complaint. If they don't follow up on your original complaint.
Better Business Bureau ? http://welcome.bbb.org/
here's a place where you can get an article about thermal MRI injuries.

Hi, Yes, I have tried all of those things.
better business bureau is the first place that I have tried calling, they do not deal with medical facilities. They only handle things like if the facility charged you the wrong amount.
I have filed a complaint with the facility over the phone, and have send formal letter of suggestion by mail.
I did ask for explanation from the facility, and the lady in charge of the machine was very rude. She denied ever having any problem,and she laughed at me saying that I had an anxiety attack.
After calling some local politicians and having them urge the health department to call the facility...I received a letter from the president of the facility saying that they did not have malfunction with their machine.I guess that only leaves human error.
I do expect for them to say that they did have a problem as that is kind of shooting themselves in the foot.
I guess I will never know for sure whether what I experienced was contact burn or too much radio frequency.
There are some information on contact burn on the web, but that is not all that complete.
There are practically no information of effect of too much radio frequency on the body. FDA has limit for radio frequency.
It is normal for body to warm up a little bit by the radio frequency, too much heat that is not desirable or normal.
FYI, State of Pennsylvania is the only state that has mandatory reporting of all incidents under the ACT 13.
