Couldn't the facility print up a two-page explanation for each of the ten most
common procedures at that facility?

  * It could be a lot more detailed than any 60 second answer

  * it could have names and phone numbers of the people in charge of making
    sure your dose is what they say it is

  * You get to keep it

Of course if you are having an unusual study done this doesn't apply, but by
definition the techs aren't gonna spend a lot of time explaining the unusual
procedures.
