Re: 60 Minutes Segment on P-32 Contamination

[TSNKW@ccmail.ceco.com]

    I watched the 60 minutes segment but didn't hear any discussion of how 
    much P-32 Dr. Ma was suppose to have received in uCi or mrem CEDE.  I 
    know, just the "presence" of radioactivity is all the media or public 
    cares to know or discuss.  But just the same, I'd be interested in 
    receiving any information on actual exposure estimates for Dr. Ma and 
    her fetus.

    Earlier in the segment Dr. Bill Zheng, Dr. Ma's husband, said that he 
    had discovered his wife's contamination while doing a routine radiation 
    survey in the lab.  As he passed his wife, seated next to a lab bench, 
    the survey meter indicated the presence of radioactivity.
     
    Because what I saw on the show may have resulted from selective editing 
    by 60 Minutes, I don't claim to know all the details or their context. 
    The evidence seems clear that the contamination was deliberate, but I 
    have NO idea who did it.  Any health physics amateur detectives out 
    there - have at it!
