  7. SAFETY QUESTIONNAIRE Page One (a sample)

  8. “This essay…offers a conceptual approach…through what I call sponsors of literacy. Sponsors as I have come to think of them, are any agents local or distant, concrete or abstract, who enable, support, teach, model, as well as, recruit, regulate, suppress, or withhold literacy…” Debra Brandt

  11. My Personal Dosimeter Front Back

  12. My son sitting inside the “C” of the C-arm, outside the OR in his scrubs.

  13. Showing assembly of a ring dosimeter

  14. “Because there is not enough scatter radiation; the dose of radiation isn’t that high so most of the X-rays are being absorbed by the body part being examined.” “Because it’s not that much radiation.”

  15. “I’m far enough away.” “Because we don’t have enough to go around.” “It’s too heavy.” “It wasn’t available.” “I’m not getting that much radiation.” “No one put it back.”

  16. “I get too hot.” “It’s too heavy.” “I’m not having kids.” “I’m done having babies.”
