How many different medical personnel does it take to get radiation treatments?
1. Laurie - receptionist to answer phone calls and schedule appointments.
2. Debbie - nurse practitioner(?) to do scans, make molds, and assist the doctors.
3. Dr. McAllister - radiation oncologist to review records and plan the treatment.
4. unnamed physicist - to help the doctor figure out how to shape the radiation beams so that only the exact areas that need radiation get it and nothing else is damaged in the process.
5. Dr. Blair - radiation oncologist to review treatment plan and ensure nothing gets missed.
6. DeAnn - nurse to get vitals and current status in preparation for weekly follow up appointments with one of the radiation oncologists to ensure everything is going well with the treatments.
7. Chad - radiation technician to position me exactly for each treatment and run the radiation machine.
8. Janelle - radiation technician to position me exactly for each treatment and run the radiation machine.
9. Steve - nurse practitioner to see me for follow up appointments after radiation is completed.
How many different medical personnel does it take to get radiation treatments?
