About out.of.the.basement / radiation.medicine

A sprawling mix of real-world education, armchair journalism, and scientific exploration, all anchored in Radiation Medicine. The Establishment™ has locked information behind towering ivory walls: consider this channel your nuclear Robin Hood, stealing from the rich to give to the poor; gadflies forcing radioactive truth into the spotlight. Of course, none of this is medical, legal, or financial advice.

   Pediatric nasopharyngeal brachytherapy: a radioactive relic and the harmful myths surrounding it.

   In this episode, we step into a historical hornet’s nest, examining the controversial legacy of nasopharyngeal radium treatments once used for ear infections and adenoid issues in children. We unravel the convoluted data on radiation and cancer risks, hypothesizing about the academic intrigue behind a much-cited 2001 Hopkins study. Most importantly, we question how narratives - especially "radiation equals danger" narratives - shape research and publication. Join us for a thought-provoking dive into the world of radiation medicine, statistical hijinks, and the pressures of scientific storytelling. *** OOTB, produced by Photon Media, is made possible by Cold Light Legacy, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that thrives on community support. jason@becktamd.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/radmed/support (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/radmed/support)
