If one of us any of us any American is traveling in a town somewhere in America and a medical crisis hits them for someone who is diabetic or perhaps has heart disease or some other problems where do we get the records to determine what to do?

The current medical records system is this: Room after room after room in a hospital filled with paper files.

The technology used to detect if vehicles are carrying radioactive material is so sensitive it can tell if a person recently received radiation as part of a medical procedure.

It is my sincere hope that hospitals across Indiana and America continue to strive for excellence when it comes to providing medical care. This proposed rule will be harmful to communities who wish to upgrade their medical facilities.

There are now over 5 000 medical physicists in the U.S more than 50 times the number in 1958.

I have devoted much time and energy to helping medical physics in developing countries.

I was the Chair of the first department of medical physics in a medical school in the U.S.

I am sure that I have been much more useful to society as a medical physicist.

Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved with administrative duties.

Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and the dose to normal tissues are minimized.
