hi all
a chap called today to ask for my advice.... his wife has worked in her
teens as a radiography helper and was in with patients having invasive
investigations daily for several hours at a time(Ba Enemas and the likes)
wore the usual PPE (lead coat/thyroid collar) and monitor (film badge),
apparently no significant exposures. they have under gone investigations
into fertility problems and everything with both is ok and she is now
convinced that the radiation exposure has caused their problmes and wants
to know how they find out if she has conception problems because of this.
(both in their late 20's trying for 8 years)
having worked in an xray dept for a while i am familiar with ppe/its use
and misuse but short of directing them to the NRPB i dont know what else
to offer....anyone got any suggestions?
