Part 2: Spies & Glowing Blue Powder
Despite the fact that Homer Simpson seems to take radioactive material home daily without ill effect, most of the time such a radiation exposure doesn’t end so harmlessly. Join Dr. Aaron Frey, DO, a Toxicology Fellow at the Blue Ridge Poison Center, as he takes on this two part series all about radiation, how it happens, and the physiologic manifestations & treatments of Acute Radiation Syndrome.
In Part 2, Dr. Frey digs into the medical implications caused by radiation, beginning with components of Acute Radiation Syndrome, how it happens, what to do when it happens, & concluding with case studies of espionage and stolen radioactive material!
