Last Sunday, Harry finished his lecture on cumulative doses of radiation which was VERY intersting. He suggested each radiology lab have a safey officer to check on radiation since most radiologists see a patient one time on an assembly line basis more or less and don't know the patients' past radiation history.
This is especially important because today's younger physicians have a deficit learning experience in physical diagnosis and are relying more and more on radiation machines for diagnosis. He mentioned that doctors are being held in neglect for not taking radiation diagnostic testing and now for taking TOO MUCH radiation testing for diagnostic purposes, putting the poor doctor between a rock and a hard place.
Harry mentioned, even ultra sound and MRI causes motion of molecules which generates energy which may convert to some extent into radiation forms.
I wish Harry would send us that lecture for the newsletter.
Moral of the story: RADIATION ENERGY IS CUMULATIVE stay out of the sunlight and the radiation moonlight.
This week we will go into timing of medications, what is the best time to take high blood pressure meds, calcium pills etc. Absorption of medicines is influended by food intake, time of day, altitude, presence of other drugs, and by the patient's own Circadian Rhythm. In the not too distant future, attorneys will be wanting to know what drug you prescribed and why and when you wanted it given.
Homeostasis, a theory conceived in 1925 which puts the body on the same plane at all hours of the day under all situations, is still being taught in medical schools. It has however, been replaced with what is now termed "Chronobiology."
