In the last week of Dan's rad he had another tech, caring and asking me if Dan was okay...he was bleeding and oozing terribly by then. The first 7 weeks one tech drank every weekend and came in hungover a bit and talked about it! Not the best person to give you treatments and the other guy never had anything to say...in a mood all the time. Dan,however, never complained about anything once except that they tell him in the beginning what they were doing before they did it since he was masked and tied down. Dan never complains even to me...God has given him such inner strength and know that there are probably many who make up for his noncomplaining. I can't imagine having the job and I do pray for them daily...I just think there should be some caring involved. Thanks! Debbie
