Reply #13: I was isolated for three and a half days

[Maestro]

while undergoing radiation treatment for thyroid cancer. The nuclear physician came in with an orderly I guess who was dressed in a lead suit. He, the orderly, was carrying a small concrete cannister. Inside the cannister he pulled out a pill with tongs. He then gave me the pill. I drank it down. With a geiger counter he immediately checked me to see if I was radiated. I was. The room was covered in plastic expect for the sheets of the bed which were to be burned when I left. The whole thing was just surreal. My door even had what looked like bright yellow police tape strung in the form of an X on the door. They fed me by knocking on the door and leaving my food. I was completely isolated except for quick checks by nurses and doctors that came in. After the geiger counter read at a certain level that was deemed safe, I was allowed to go home. I still could not see my kids so I had to stay away from them for two more days. My levels were fine for adults but not kids. It was just wierd but necessary.
