Welcome to stop. You should know from house networks, gotten billion more progress than Josh Partners, Charles the reach, a bright and their jerry over there. So this is the basic me me catch him. No one else calls it is because of that right.

In other words the dunes right ramble on God handed out stuffy should know. I have a family member that even now you know not blood relative. While the say that who the couple years ago were like you know, you guys, you need to get to the point. You can't even sometimes like six to ten minutes of stuff for even start talking, but the thing is I can now, sir, you enjoy it

does not want to see a lot he's gonna be vague. Why would he know who rabid anti remember sameness hours at a party or something now, and I'm begging on that? Ok, maybe if I see him again Jose, I know what you're saying I heard your message. I know you're talking thinly veiled message came on the heels of the neighbors dog telling me to do stuff. I didn't want to do right. Here's messages everywhere, that's what I'm trying to say is not the son of SAM. Now they ve Berkowitz right here, You are showing him we really should. Will you know why we should do is show where we talk about all the ones that we said we would do a show on innocent forgot. Does the list of thirty May.

The words beneath David Berkowitz are number twenty. Eight to start some Andy Kaufman ask thing to see how much will people take right they paid. I wrote a really cool rolling stone profile of em from nineteen eighty one, maybe something like that are really really good nice on any captain he's really interesting cat. He was basically just doing it off for himself yeah. That's why he was in the company to amuse himself. Nobody us, take the latter colonies and I think he inspired a lot of people who ended up bastardize in what he did to. I think a lot of people that thought they followed in his footsteps brought a mean spirit. No, it Bob Newhart two things to their through their work. Recovery? No, like you know, like any more at and stuff like that, we're we're masquerade

is someone to get arise out of somebody, but the jokes really on it listen. Yeah I mean I like bore at two but anything any Kaufman. I think he always had a sweet nervous about him. I see what you mean. Nothing is ever mean spirited and try to make other people look dumb, yeah yeah, that's my dummy I think the joke wasn't between him and the audience on another person. The joke was on the audience, and yet it was to himself yeah as between him and himself, whereas with like such a bearing.

You're laughing erase laughing at Rob all right, we'll let you know you saw. Did you see man on the moon them? The movie? I within a long time was good when he first at the wrestling thing with his future wife and afterward. She was so mad use. I wasn't that great, like you were so terrific. You were wonderful and she's like what what's going on he's like that, with such a great performance and she's like oh, I thought you were some jerk. Was it corny love the idea, what a bizarre casting so that Sir Radiation Sickness Insurance Man Well, we ve had a mention something light, because this isn't notices this rough stuff here, pretty heavy the one good thing about radiation. This is a grab. Some article by the way here is that the one good thing about it, think of our radiation sickness is its surprisingly tucked the get yet for people who just go about their every day, Both the sunlight or you know

Then microwave in the coffee- yes, yes the more you know tuning in their fate radio programme, pure while its around still or talking on their cell phone. It's another controversial, I'm sure you're not going to get radiation sickness and the reason why you may get cancer from these things. Who knows, but the you're not gonna, get radiation sickness because the energy, the radiation coming from these things, like your cell phone from the sun from, the microwave are of a loan of frequency in alone of energy, that they don't have the potential to ionize. They create ionizing radiation, which is Oh well, that's where a detour radiation Knox, an electron off of an atom, the track creating an eye on an ions can wreak serious havoc.

Yeah, you know any human body in particular: yes, you're, not gonna, in fact, even the cancer that you might get one day due to long term exposure to your cell phone. If that's even a thing, that's not call radiation sickness. If learn worked at a power plant that lead and ended up getting cancer, that's not even considered rate radiation signora if you're an x, ray technician and you get radiation, poisoning heard or cancer years later, yeah still radiation seconds radiation. This is where you are hit with such a huge, immediate dose of ionizing radiation that you die pretty quickly and you're. Gonna. Also experience immediate symptoms, or you become the incredible hulk right in the court and in the case of gamma rays it was gamma. Wasn't it unexhilarating yeah, he wouldn't have turned into a monster. That's that's fictitious! He instead

possibly lost consciousness. Maybe had diarrhoea vomited. He probably would have blistered skin that would have never fully heal them would have forms gars under the skin poverty. Lloyd's scars that eventually or outside of the skin, yet in and then evaded and even worse, for wear your getting ahead of ourselves. Only helpless people should know what they're getting into so radiation sickness is an acute situation and its a cumulative effect right after you get that acute those array. Agent poisoning the right of the way to call it, and there are three kinds of ionizing radiation resist article that the grab stir. He had a couple of my soul. Acquits in here. Did you notice the NEO young no I'd, never would ever have to say dash Neil you now that we have more money get it.

Well, one of his his paragraphs is entitled ionizing radiation in the damage done. I think he was playing on the needle in the day, done? Maybe power, but nearly on some he's a cool cat graves through analysis. So I'm like he says: it's comes in three flavors alpha particles, beta particles in the gamma rays, the aforementioned gamma rays, alpha particles, the Good NEWS is there, the least dangerous for external exposure, and the other good news is The your t, shirt well, you're, not wearing a t, shirt, dire monitoring one underneath my undershirt will then you'd doubly protected. Never in his your clothing is even strong enough to stop an external alpha particle right. They discounts harmlessly off of your clothing that right NGO. La right! So you think that they are not dangerous at all. Not true did you can still inhale the stuff, yeah and ingest it

the form of radon gas and that's where things can get bad. Yet, when you in just a radioactive particle and using particle you. It gets into your body, it gets transported around and as it does, goes through and is like hey item good to meet you. I'm gonna knock the electron, often now you're free, radical of Euro water molecules and if you're gonna, if that's the way, we say molecule For now I know the lecture and you're gonna go often wreak havoc on other stuff right death, because when this, when the weather, the radioactive particle interacts with an item and knocked the electron off. That's not the only damage done it with that like China is released or knocked off energy in the form of worth. Thirty, three electron volts. Thirty three ease our release here.

That weakens the chemical bog following the atom together. So it is totally alters the structure, the atom Maya, but when you're altering the structure and Adam Adams Makeup molecules, so you alter the star the molecule when you're talking about molecules these things make up the basis of everything from the proteins that are expressed in your body that carry out functions to the cells that how's these functions. There act as factories and all of a sudden, you have all these. Weird alterations in like flawed and damaged processes, the body and it leads to systemic malfunction, which leads to your at least severe illness. If not death, and all of this has to do with these little particles, going through your body, embalmed boarding and knocking electrons, offer their Adams gear and we'll get into the specifics of how much is too much and a bit but to continue the beta particle

next up, they move very family with a lot of energy, and can travel a few feet when their emitted from its source- the goodness here is, is it they can be blocked out by solid objects. Not your clothing sat solid enough, no concrete, or for mica. If you riding under your kitchen counter hardly was like amazing. Fifty seven I like for my crystal still has its value: have we ever marble accords are now my my darling tables would not know your kitchen counter like if you got your cabinet yeah, you know, I don't know what my countertop is. I should I thought it was something, but then, when I read in my kitchen and want to cut it, it's blackened stone right, this brownish thing stone. Now I think it's a real stone, ok leeway to cut it did it is like completely mango. Your acts are now because I got the right

and a blade I did my research, ok, but it was not what I thought it was in its impossible to find this stuff now area. So words I can ever your camera tat? Well, something we have two are We do not say that, while large projects they try to make my own concrete countertop. You know those here go yeah and you can do it yourself. Yeah you build a frame and you pour the stuff, but it was. It turned out, ok for a first try, but not good enough. Here. You don't want ok for the first try to kitty counters in hand that stuff his heavy ass, concrete and breaks easily. If you drop at her, if you dislike, are carving turkey. If you have too long of apiece and like you to them a person on each Endicott, can snap and half you need a short person in the middle

with a heart had anyway bailiff articles like we said: where, were we oh? What they can move through the problem with the beta particles is their tiny, eight thousand times smaller than our support. And that means it can penetrate through your clothing and do your skin this stuff that if it enters the look food supply or the groundwater, and it gets body that way. You can inhaling then you're in big trouble right any time. This gets into your body you're in big trouble here, and we should do you wanna talk of real quick here about the difference between a radiation and contamination. Did you see that yet? Well, let's finish Ghana quickly, because I feel it Ghana's disorders sitting out there a sad Emma smash gamma rays there, the most dangerous there high energy and can travel through most any

which is why it anything with Gamma rays Gimme lined with like a few inches of lead. There are several feet of concrete or both to back those gamma rays. And this is the stuff it gets in your bone marrow and your toes yeah this that this goes right. Do your body all the way through and as it does it's it's just think like these radioactive particles as tiny bullets, yeah better ricocheting, around electrons, seeking bullet urges going after your Adams with them vengeance dying. With a vengeance. So contamination verses irradiation. That's two ways that you can be those in their both a little different yeah. So so contamination is what it sounds like it's where you, We have some sort of radioactive material, maybe like a liquid or a powder, something yeah body on your clothing in nearby even worse it by

you are, for all intents and purposes radioactive. You can transfer that radio activity that other people get your contaminated again, like you said a sloping around in your body yeah when Nobody can be transported through your blood through other processes to transport processes in your body and it's just wreaking havoc everywhere, and it reached the most havoc on places where cells regenerate the fast decision, because the damage is done and spread more could Lee right yeah, but that's contamination, you're radioactive, you can spread the radio activity if it contaminated irradiation is different. Yeah! That's when like when you go to get your Ex chest x ray you are technically getting irradiation. Irradiated irradiated, the differences is you're not coming into actual contact.

And when the sources when they shut off that machine, it's over right. You know you know what you're not radioactive can make other people radioactive and year you're, not just sitting there with radioactive particles in your body. Now it's done is done. Leave it in the past. Attract is the motto of Arabia. He asked why we still talking about it further their different right there, their different waiting, terminated, but I mean, if you stood there in front of an x ray machine long enough, you wouldn't be contaminated, but you could still haven't. You could still developing Q radiation poison here, because the length of exposure would be long enough here, because you just standing there like a jack ass in front of an x, ray machine, turned on Job M, moved to the side, an x rays or say But I still get a little weird it out. Every time I go in there and like they put the lead vest, I them run out of every had had the room like this that neither by

the new year allies. I wait a minute here, especially like the mouth ones, in your teeth, which again obviously a lot of you Suppose to- and I know you know, you're in a ticklish situated in that case, but D Dennis like to take a lot of x rays is eight as they can charge. Insurance, money hundred percent. Very I'm sure there are plenty of instances where you they do the new set of x rays or whatever? You do need to get him, but you should be a lot more people on two calling your last earnest. If you're moving Denison thing rage you to change for those x rays, and they should do it for free it willingly yeah. So you don't have to get another set. You know if you change Dennis sooner within

single year. You have too many x rays. Now I hurried on that whenever you can't I've always had a suspicion that they give you the maximum allowable number of X rays, her the taken bill for yet had enough. I was just being cynical earth, that's a real thing now and I feel like Dennis Desert of a profession of really and up selling in the last like decade, yeah really up selling, I'm not anything you had done, was up selling by like there's a lot of like offers. And there's a lot of them marketing that goes on dry areas. Dental visit now yet come out from the dentist there's especial liquid that they had it may be, for I never think about it. Some you know thing that they say now. Here's your thing and then say rents with this for a minute you go leave and it's like fifty dollars for this right. Rinsed

like you didn't even ask me right if I wanted that so this last time I went after four times a year now, because I have short routes, which is my worst nightmare to have to double the amount of time at the dinner. I hate it s, not including any my stupid to stop this just for cleaning oh I see like- I have to go in four times a year now. Did you have your own chair? I feel I should. I certainly bought one why? But I wouldn't last time, as I already among decline, that rates so ready to fight this lady and she didn't give it to me. I think they can sense that I really consent. When you're paying attention wins a good time to ourselves. When did it wins? It gets. You gotta know when the whole them and no one to follow them, the new model for four days, history

Well, we got on this because of x rays and we're gonna. Take a breaking, stop, venting our frustrations and come back and talk a bit more about ionizing radiation New year's resolutions are very very difficult to keep More exercise save more money. What about this? We have a resolution that you can really work with stop wasting time going to the post office that right, you stamps dot com instead because they bring all the services of the. U S: postal service, right to your computer, with your small business sinning invoice.

Or package's, or an online seller shipping out products stamps that can handle it all with ease yank it. This was simply com. You get five cents off every first class stamp in up to forty percent of priority mail. This right? U S! Postage twenty seven for any letter, any package any class anywhere you want to send it. There's no risk and using our promo code, ass white, ass, gay you're gonna get this offer afore weak trial, plus Freedom judge and a digital scale, and there are no long term commitments or contracts just go to stamp that come click on the microphone off the top of the home page and type in s. Why, as K that stance, I come promo code s. Why, as K stamps that com we'll go to the post office again.

You don't really thinks the Dennis is getting so at points out. If you're gonna talk about radiation poisoning. What you're looking at is a total dosage, and that includes different factors like what it came from like talked about what they offer better gamma rays right How much it was, how long you are exposed and how much was absorbed. It's not an exact science. It's taken is a total, a cumulative effect right, but the sea, the seaward, which takes all the things into account, is it's pretty close to exact science. As far as measuring human absorption of radiation, right, yeah, and so based on these calculations, it I couldn't find anywhere how you ve

calculate seabirds near specifically, but of their people who know how to do it right and when you calculate seaward, you're able to Ok, ok! Well, this flying in playing gets. You x, number of milk seabirds or micro seaports. I a five hour airplane flight, or something like that. I am we ve come to me. That just living on planet earth. We are exposed tobacco radiation. On the order of something like, I think, three point: six million seabirds per year. Yet as point zero, zero, three six seaports right and it's that's fine! You can totally deal with that. It's when you start getting closer and closer to a full savers, because if you ll notice, thinking Seaver

Radiation exposure is measured in Milosevic and even Micro seabirds millionth of receiver. We love those numbers and we should say you know if you're getting an x ray at the danish or something like that you're getting a low level of of exposure to potentially deadly radiation, if, if it were just if you standing next to what's producing the x rays outside X, ray machine you are holding that you'd be in big trouble. You the fact that you're not exposed to it like that you're exposed to doses. As far as we understand scientifically right now, the human can taken it's not going to have any adverse effects it. When you start getting closer to us. Fever here that you really run the risk of acute radiation poisoning yeah like point seven, five seabirds, we'll get you sick, and we can your immune system three seabirds you need medical attention, are, you will probably die, yeah

but you will probably live if you do have medical care. If you get a dose of ten seabirds at once, you are dead. Even if you do get medical care yeah, that's like a definite sparingly. But you're, not gonna encounter that So you need to worry about that unless you work in a lab or something, and then there is an accident yet which will talk about some of those that have happened, but am ten seabirds is really bad news.

Your toast yeah between ten apply between one in ten. You got about a fifty fifty chance of dying within a month and if it's a less, if it's not is one big blast and it's over time, that's your eyes a little bit but totally different ways. A totally different, like prolonged exposure, is different than the kind of acute exposure that that creates radiation, sickness, right, correct and Ed points out too, that the factors that are included in the formulation of a silver radiation doses. Is there not absolute? It's like he by his ten doses. Ten seabirds of radiation, your toes right, it will be slightly. I think that actually probably is absolute policy to yeah. That's gonna be different depending on where you are exposed. Where are your body? How old you are here?

kind of immune health. You have in a number of different factors that type of particle that your exposed to. So it's different, for the most part. Once you get higher and higher along the seabirds Yale, it does become kind of absolute as far as human mortality concern here. If you do get expose you're going to get sick very very quickly, I mean sometimes it's like you immediately start vomiting or lose consciousness tat. Your body is too slow immediately poison near its hard core nausea diarrhoea. Headache fever, like you, said you can be knocked unconscious in I looked. Everywhere to find out what happens that makes you lose consciousness and I have them. No, they don't really know it doesn't make sense, wait what

I realise that makes you lose consciousness unless it is completely alters the effects of Europe that the action of your neurons- I guess yeah see you get a little more positive about that stuff that- and I do think your brain is overloaded agenda head like what happened and why by the way that persons is lose consciousness by being exposed to an x, ray machine. That's not good! What's the science behind that I felt like in my head burns on the body we talked about external exposure, bad scarring there's something called the waiting period after that initial set of symptoms. Yet this does mean we're? U dont have symptoms. You give better yeah, you know things gonna go away, but I don't think anyone thinks you're gonna get better because they know about the the lull, but now but

The first few people died from radiation sickness who, like lousy, Moran and then the year, so that the initial symptoms are very obvious in very bad and others even period like you said it was a law at an age, even yeah, and apparently it's going on at that point is the damage that has been dine immediately and I mean like win for exam. Your dna is altered. It happens on in in the billions trillions of a second that that damages Dorothea. If a free radicals created it still takes on the order of like a second to to do this, damage is very quick, but the effects of that damage take a little while to appear but when they, when they do appear, like oh man, you're you're having multi organ failure right now, because you are exposed to so much ionizing radiation yourselves were so totally altered,

in your dna was ultimately altered to your body is not functioning properly. In some parts of your body are definitely more susceptible than others. Like I said, the ones were, cells replicate more frequently like the linear got right. That's a big problem. If your guts mess that I ask as your protest infections yeah, this is not good. You don't wanna go infection, nay you had one of those did you had Its staff stomach infection and I've never seen a human being thicker than you were, and you had to fly home. Do you remember you d get on a plane, as there was hitting you, I felt so bad at your green. Their green. Your face was green, like the whole, like that, yet again, the rebirth of radiation, heading gamma, Ray burst in my shoes,

Zagreb's standing up standing up sitting now mine down again everywhere, so that waiting period, if it's it's shorter, that the smaller the those wait shorter. The larger the does the latent period yeah. I in fact, if you get those with more than ten, there is no waiting period at all. Right is it that doesn't take a break now, there's just one way tough. So like you said after that waiting period wears off his when it's really clear. What's happened. Inside your body, and one thing we have it specifically talked about. Yet, as the is your bone marrow witches very bad place to get radiation poisoning because it basically lets you know where you produce blood cells to make your body better.

And basically shuts down your immune system, because there's so much damage and now you can even make yourself better or try to make yourself better yeah at either if either directly damages the cells and kills them right here, So therefore you're, just not making as many cells you don't have as many white blood cells or in any also damage the dna in yourselves so that when,

they are when it is making more white blood cells not making them correctly. So there's malfunctioning, white blood cells, the your mean systems, Tokyo, anemic at that point, yeah. Well, that's from the red blood cells being affected as well. Yes and then again it when you're guy gets assaulted. You got a lot of bacteria. You get in its beneficial so long as it's in your gut when it leaks into the rest, your body, you can get blood infections from that, because the stomach lining is not is not protecting your stomach like it's supposed to any longer you spare newsman. It is bad news. I will affect other break in NAM. We'll talk about some of these tragedies and accidents. When we get back the here is about us, which resolutions do you, plan to conquer and twenty twenty become more mindful or create,

so check. We know actually, fortunately, very little about the effects of ionizing radiation on the human body, because there's not Emily, people who have died from it. Basically, everything we know comes from industrial action.

Like three mile island or focused humor, and then the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, yes, which, by the way, any time that comes up, I feel it would be totally worth mentioning going. They see they hear shimmer peace, memorial values you like, I think everybody in the world should have to go to visit so well done really so ghastly some of this stuff that their showing I'm sure and in its it's basically Hiroshima saying this happiness. So we're going to take this terrible gift that was bestowed on us and turn it into wait. I keep it from ever happening again. Yes, what they did with it here are in Japan make a trip to hear she met a check it out. We'll talk about those then, since for their ran across the cool article on website called today I found out, which is a neat site. You read in their sprinkle

this was called. Why can people live in Hiroshima and Nagasaki now, but not Chernobyl? So here's background and I think it the it should have its own pike S at some point for sure returned the, but the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but here's your the short version on August six, nineteen, forty five, the bomb little boy- I was the uranium bombs, I was dropped on Hiroshima hundred forty pounds of uranium, but these were detonated both of more above each city like two thousand feet above her Emma only two pounds of two hundred and forty pounds. Underwent nuclear vision and then sixteen killer tons of explosive force so because Russian was on a plane. It caused a lot of

image estimated seventy thousand people were killed on that day period. Seventy thousand another seventy thousand injured and about seventy percent of the buildings are gone. For fat man, which was a few days later on Nagasaki on August night, only two pounds. This was plutonium and only two pounds of that underwent vision, and that was about sixteen hundred feet in the air. But because it's a valley, a lot of the city, was protected, still killed about between forty five thousand. Seventy thousand people immediately and I get the feeling that a lot of that suffers. The blast impact near for these were the cylinder, for the birds were so ban here so bringing Chernobyl. Is this article compares enough that the conditions there these places Chernobyl was a preventable disaster, nuclear disaster,

they had the way they say when this article was that the the reactors had a built in instability was the quote today, we win the reaction got hotter and hotter. The current would decrease and just make everything less stable and they can control it, so they did some entities and test one day on April. Twenty six, nineteen. Eighty six to see how long these turbines would run after the reactor was down. So in order to do this, they had to turn off all these safety controls and remove in. I think we talked about the control rides near an arm. How nuclear meltdown work yet how nuclear meltdown works. So these control rides absorb the neutron, limit the reaction. Add remove cheese, how many only all, but six of the two hundred and five control rods for this test and a short term safety system, seas

it was this ready for disaster. Basically, why are they doing? I just for fun now there and to see how long these turbines would run once everything shut down. In order to do that How did you all these? Other things? That's, like figure How much weight a bridge can take by driving increasingly heavy trucks across the collapses and systematically weakened as you do it, this insane I was not a good idea and they said it all came down to like the hubris of the the people who designed it and we're working there. While it was we preventable so a lot of these graphite rods. They try to put it back in there and they fractured because there was a design. While in them, and There was an explosion. It basically just blew up. Seven to ten tonnes of nuclear fuel were released that day, only twenty eight,

but I'd immediately and over ninety thousand square miles of land were contaminated. How many people died immediately? Twenty eight that we're just like in the area get and, of course you can get accurate numbers on fall out since then, they're not really sharing that information, but by two thousand five there were set thousand cases of thyroid cancer in the Ukraine, Belarus and Russia alone so obviously had an effect, nowadays, people can live in Japan and those who places, and they said The levels of background radiation are basically like anywhere else in the world, but Chernobyl was still they have a zone where, like you, can't live there at all any more yeah, so the differences basically the amount of fuel, only two pounds like a set of each of those bombs, only two pounds under what vision

and a hundred there was a hundred and eighty tons of nuclear fuel released at Chernobyl. That's crazy that there's any of Chernobyl than last year follow up the whole town well and their studying arm. While I think of the explosion, wasn't anything like Nagasaki, Hiroshima, I gotcha Louis up into the air yeah, I got it, but I'm their studying that area. Now, because it's a big you know like he said, you know, have this opportunity to see what it means for them. Ecology of that area and the ecosystem and like they found some things, have like adapted and are, and leaving reports like animals there living theirs

normal animals that are three I'd bared stuff, like that, a bleak you the face, and the other difference was that it was on the ground in these other in other bombs or detonated, two thousand feet in the air, so whilst airborne it just has a bigger impact. I receive it's like literally ground level, so that sort of the deal on why you can not live in Chernobyl events in the other. Finally entombing the reactor stats, it's really yet there I mean they try before, but they did a pretty terrible job of it and it was already leaking and cracking says now their building. I think other countries are helping and with it their building like

huge tomb to go around it loud and nobody can inner firm. I think at least the century she's yeah, while there have been some scientists to those that had minor while not minor for them, but minor accidents and labs spouse heavily like the stuff that they created there that lead to their deaths small yeah. With anything else, you would probably even barely noticed that you'd messed up that these guys died because of it. Yet you do it's notably working on the same core. Plutonium Gore cannot at the same time, I would like a year apart, yeah and it came to be called the incur. For that reason they killed two people. Yet one guy was physicists, name Harry K, DEC in June he got a five point: one seaward exposure, nineteen, forty five, and die twenty five days later. I who's the other guy Louis Lawton, dear son. He was he was basically messing with the core with her,

screwdriver from what I read and I'm just the screwed ever just barely slip it just a little bit and I guess, came and allowed the cover to come in contact with the core in the cormorant sub critical for half a second while he luckily was like able to fly through the core off. They didn't really do it even bigger problem. They kill more people yet, but it led to his death and down. He got a twenty one seeber we ve been saying: ten is almost instantly fatal. He lost consciousness and threw up immediately and he died, I think not, days later? He, I can't believe it took that long, but the air turned blue around him here and there is a visible wave of heat. Yeah. He was immediately after his death. I think he was kind of praise for containing the accident.

But then later on, even after that they were like yeah, but he did something wrong that led to it to begin with area. Yes, those kind of if you did a good job, but you shouldn't, have done it well, it said it also. Kid Somebody else a guard who was in the room, died years later from cancer. That they're like that, was definitely Pharaoh exposure here, then surprising. So what happens? If you? Let me, how can they treat this surprisingly. They can't treat it like. If you think about radioactive particles entering your body, you just think it be like. Well, here's the morphine hope you had a nice life right, but there's actually stuff. They can do to treat it, and one of the first thing they do if you're contaminated is the wash you off right seems like a good step. One concern get some of that stuff,

But if it's in your body, they have to give you drugs that are known to actually bind to radioactive materials, and then flush out of your system, like Prussian Blue die, is actually good for caesium thallium poisoning. It's like it's blue die here that goes in and it binds the stuff and down hold it. So it's no longer going through your body getting havoc Are you prepared out? There's another one? You gonna try this one o dire. Finally, now try a mine, pinot, triassic acid, up ahead or GDP Ventre acidic acid, easier part here

that, so they ones good for plutonium, among other things, and they inject you with that, and it is basically the same thing. It seeks out those radioactive particles, fines to him, and then you pay it out. So it I mean it is possible to treat people who ve been contaminated with radioactive stuff. I just want to point out every time just it binds term you had your stomach. What is that all about had really noticed? I dont know if it's true thought times what else can I do that can prevent infection? If your immune systems compromise here because of the bone marrow, you could have a bone. I'm sorry blood transfusion. If you only have little bedded bone marrow damage that could help you out, but if it is too severe, you would have

have a complete bone marrow transplant right and then been even then you're not guaranteed to be ok, you're, pretty bad shape. If that's gone on, did you read about this guy on Brazil accident? I did. It is not its So back in nineteen, eighty seven there were, I guess, some people who, just wandering around and abandoned hospital in Guyana, Brazil. Yes, to do deeds, scrap salesmen, ok, like scavenger salesmen, okay, so they found, I guess, maybe an x ray machine or something like that and cracked it open, and there is a cake of glowing blue caesium inside this adverse looks pretty. Let's take you with us They sold it to people, including some children who rubbed it on their skin so that they were glow in the dark,

Yeah and a lot of people died very shortly. Afterward year they took, I mean it wasn't just the Rostov. They took the machine and a wheelbarrow and then spent the next few days like trying to take this machine apart to get to this glow Kissimmee. They felt like supernatural. They knew what it was that these did start examining and stuff course went to the doctrine they like its food poisoning, Here's a few years ago can go home, Clams United Silence, so one of the guys finally freed some of this glowing blue He those gunpowder and try to light it on fire. It didn't light, gets not viable and then he sold it to scrap yard. Like you said for twenty five bucks

in this guy. The owner of the scrap yard things is uncle was like men, the everyone come and see this, and he invited like for three days like family and guess I'll come over and looked at a callback, carnival, glitter and, like you said this and he's really sad that this guy's daughter was like rubbing it honour, scan and embed sheets, and they are just enamoured with the stuff. So again, alot of people died. About four people died for still it's a lot now for people died, but they two hundred and forty nine people had significant levels of me real in their body and a hundred and twelve thousand people were examined and they demolish several square city block. Just gonna get like this contaminate. We have to get rid of it. They just levelled parts of that yeah. I was crazy I'll because some guys, like broken newer, x, Ray machine, because somebody just left

in an abandoned hospital ya, think there were guards, but the guard was off duty or something this stuff. Be like X, Ray machines and now ass, but there was, I think, I think they ended up there being lawsuits. I would hope so yeah man, so that the right I got nothing else. I don't either that Sir radiation sickness. We hope that this. Viewer, someone! You love! If you're ever going through an abandoned hospital, you come across an extra machine, don't crack it open, yes, observe it from afar. While we always talk about exploring abandoned structures and super dangerous, you, oh yeah, they're all fraught with dangers. They definitely I and probably when you wouldn't think about some like that- have already talked about gross injures. Something so- and this is one sided about gross injures assistants grossing, it's a cat skills resort. There was abandoned in the eighties.

Now it's almost completely reclaim by the forest, but about five. Ten years ago somebody went undocumented like peak decay out where the structures are still there being totally coming in to revise its fascinate. I don't know, but it's there there's a camera. The name of sizes, but its gross injuries in the sky. We

many many years ago, many times over the years and documented it- and I think, is dad- was the caretaker there as the place of shutting down. So he knew the playfully well and he has like all photos from while it was still in use. The comparing contrasted just amazing, while I thought you're gonna say it was completely overtaken by forests, ferries and imps. If that's what I meant in the hope of a very soon whole college man, it's a twitter account where it's like stuff Hodgman says what I will say: yes, but as the hawk, while I'm effort the hawk for other things, but neither is one for husband, I'm not sure how I feel about it ends He had taken up my swirling. I did you save us your mail? Oh no, if you I know more about radiation sickness, you can take. Those words in the search bar has the works and sensation search by time.

I'm gonna call this something. I never really thought about it, are you guys were wireless, her from the very beginning, listen to every gas and watched all of your tv shows episodes well, and most, if not all, of your internet round up. Another person is here I'm writing about a very serious topic and one that is dear to my heart, the higher a physician and medical student suicide. This when the high stress careers in terms of training debt work schedule trying not to take on the stress of every one of your patient, You are not allowed, I'm sorry, we first person not allowed to have any mental health weaknesses or we risk me They hold a liability by Medical board, employs appears and even our own patients, and we thought about that. You never can't like doctor. I want

school. I see I wanna wacky doktor, like TAT Adams, like a book. General joy buzzer every now and then going and training are growing in the emotional rollercoaster received a bribe made to feel, and but on a daily basis, and often whom aided and belittled in front of our peers, she said of tougher than eleven years. An army sees we're supposed to convince our patients, pick up when they need it, but we are certain to harm our own careers if we personally reach out for help, So she said in recent years he had a hit, was the last may committed suicide graduating and his parents spoken out and I ve gotten together with a filmmaker, to create a document. I'll do no harm exposing the silent epidemic, so they will. I support you can go to their facebook page Facebook that gunflash you no harm the film and may have a kickstarter that you can look up and use. Google

or do no harm documentary, there really close couple, and away from their vigilance. So I think they are going to maybe even by this time it will be done, but if anyone out there but like throwing a few dollars airway to be great, so that's the Brooklyn Bridge tells a fourth year, medical student thanks a lot brooklands really have the green email. It took a really upturn if it at the beginning era, thanks for that, and if you guys want you can go up the Kickstarter up. If you want to hang out with us, you can hang out with this on Twitter. It s my escape. I cast in the same for incident. You can join us on Facebook that complex that no citizen email to stuff. I guess that has the force that come. And is always through any said, our home on the web step. You should know Doc,
