>     Today I had a physician call and ask about possible effects from close

>      esposure to the radiation from a cellular transmitting antenna.  It

>      seems that his patient was servicing the micro wave transmitting

>      antenna and had it in his lap when his "buddy" turned on the power.  I

>      have no info at this point as to frequency, power level, time of

>      exposure etc.  Patient after one week is complaining of extreme pain

>      in the pelvis.  He has no burn marks either in front or back. To my

>      knowledge patient did not complain of feeling heat in the pelvis.  He

>      has had CT and MR scans with nothing unusual seen.

>

>      I have copies of NCRP 86 and 67.  Also have some experience with

>      hyperthermia. The doctor is looking for information on the possible

>      effects of exposure to RF from the antenna, and or an expert he can

>      contact who can tell him what the possibilities are.

>

>      Does anyone know an expert in microwave exposure or have other

>      references that might help.
