The British Medical Journal - Hypofractionation: Don't Lose Sight of the Patient

I was recently commissioned to write a piece for the British Medical Journal on a move towards hypofractionation radiation treatment, from a patient perspective. It was a departure from my normal writing style. Less humour, more radiation.  Some interesting thoughts on protecting the environment as we treat patients, and what should the patient keep in mind if offered this type of higher intensity treatment with a shorter overall treatment time. I am psyched that I now appear on pubmed and researchgate with the caption "Sheilagh Foley's scientific contributions". This was not something I, or my high school Physics teacher, envisioned when we mutually agreed my efforts would be better spent nowhere near the science block. #lookatmenow You never think radiation is relevant to your life, until it is! - https://www.bmj.com/content/386/bmj.q1985 <<PREVIOUS POST
