I would like to promote the concept of a partnership of insurance companies physicians and hospitals in deploying a basic framework for an electronic medical records system that is affordable.
After I read all the medical journals and watched all the documentaries I still didn't understand the physical sensation of ticking and where it comes from and what it feels like.
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.
Medical physics is an applied area of physics.
For many people managing pain involves using prescription medicine in combination with complementary techniques like physical therapy acupuncture yoga and massage. I appreciate this because I truly believe medical care should address the person as a whole - their mind body and spirit.
