Re: Doctors' knowledge of radiation exposure

["Sandy Perle" <sandyfl@EARTHLINK.NET>]

In that I have an opportunity to speak to many physicians, other than 

the radiologist, there is a general lack of understanding when it 

comes to radiation exposure, absorbed dose, risk and/or benefit. If 

you look at the typical curriculum for medical school students, the 

time allotted for radiation topics is almost nil!
