I am again asking for help in investigating radioactive material
use on a patient.  A former patient reported that he was given
what he was told was radioactive calcium (sorry no mass no.) and
put in what I am almost certain was a whole body counter at a nearby
facility for 30 - 45 minutes everyday for about three weeks after
the administration of the material.  It was a chalky white liquid
and he was given three shot size glasses of it.  At the time he wa
was being treated for rhumatoid arthritis which may or may not be 
relivant.  Does this discription sound like any old nuclear medicine
study or research that anyone is aware of?  The date as given in
the title was 1961 or possibly 1960.
