Badges for surgery

[JGarrett@mbhs.org]

Dear List Members:



I am currently in the midst of discussing the use of badges for our surgery

department - by badges, I of course meaning radiation exposure monitoring

badges. There are a few individuals in the department that consistently

receive moderate exposures. Several others do receive low exposures, but

nothing to be really concerned about. However, because I do see readings on

their badges, I am not inclined to discontinue the surgery series. Surgery,

however wants to discontinue their badges. This is due primarily to the

rather "difficult" task of swapping out the badges. So I wanted to ask how

many RSOs out there still badge their Surgery departments.



Thanks in advance.
