RE: Federal Guidance Report No. 11
Howard,
Once again, I do not know what you are talking about. Of course, I am
probably not the only one.
Again, if you do not know the role of medical physics in the support of
diagnostic radiology, brachytherapy, teletherapy, etc., please let me know.
I am always willing to educate. As a physician, which I assumed you were,
you should know.

John,
Explorers seek open minds, not already standardized protocols.
I'm glad to see you recognize your unsuitability.
