But how do you enforce such a GL requirement? Fine, imprisonment, or take

away their license to receive nucmed treatments?

As I stated in a previous posting, the patient instructions could be

enforced

through the general licensing provisions of current regulations.  The

patient

would be granted a general license to receive the material under the

conditions

of this license.  One of these conditions would be to follow the

instructions

provided by the administering specific licensee.



The opinions expressed are strictly mine.

It's not about dose, it's about trust.

Curies forever.
