-- who was a doctor at the VA, began wearing this little badge/monitor thing, that he wore for a certain period of time, and then it would be analyzed, and he would wear a new one, to see how much radiation he was being exposed to. I don't know if they did that before medical people began to leave the room for x-rays, but that makes sense to me.

At one point later in life his teeth kind of crumbled, and he blamed that on radiation exposure. His health wasn't exactly great.
