Wow. Very interesting article. When patients, caregivers or loved ones notice something doesn't look right the medical profession NEEDS to listen, investigate and correct immediately. The other night Diane Sawyer did a piece on radiation therapy about patients either not getting enough or getting too much radiation. Again machine and operator errors. Technicians, Drs, etc. should be ever vigilant.

When Carol goes through simulation I'll ask if she could be walked through it first. She isn't a technical kind of gal but at least she'll know what is being hit. As with Kelly, hope they get the dosage right.
