- This 1969 film "Radiation Accident Patients" was presented by U. S. Atomic Energy Commission and is designed for the training of rescue workers, nurses, therapists, hospital administrators, physicians, police and firemen by explaining the proper procedure and protocols, highlighting the superstition that those patients might present a danger to personnel. The film is produced by Motion Picture Service USDA and Judd Scott, written by R. Stephen Brode, directed by Robert G. Keifer, edited by Robert L. Boyer, and photographed by Wolfgang Schubert and Ronald G. Stangl. Official summary: The film shows the techniques for proper handling of radiation accident patients; how to use simple detection instruments; radiation injury aspects of first aid. The film points out that the unfounded fears of some medical and paramedical personnel must not be allowed to close the door on assistance to radiation patients. The film helps audiences understand that radiation cases have parallels in routine rescue squad and hospital experiences.

That Cadillac Ambulance was a work of art!
I had a chance to buy one years ago and I had to pass on it.
I have always regretted that.
One of the top scientists on the Manhattan Project may have died as a result of radiation exposure. Ernest O. Lawrence, a Nobel Prize winner and namesake of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, died young in 1958 from ulcerative colitis. Years after his death researchers discovered that the disease could result from prolonged radiation exposure. Lawrence had been notorious for being careless with radiation safety.
Interesting. Of course Marie Curie famously died of exposure as well. In an era long before the dangers of radiation were fully understood (and notoriously downplayed by the government) deaths like there were inevitable. Thanks for your comment and for being a sub.
The fact that so few people (officially) died from work in various aspects of the Manhattan Project is kind of incredible.
They knew radiation, bad. But how much, how long, what can transfer it, what types, etc were all guesses at the time.
02:50 Dragging him out like they are taking him to jail 😂
Galen Winsor was a Legend.
Agree 100%
3:43 Ambulance drivers sure like to manhandle Bob by his arms when Bob is alert & ambulatory.
2:46 I see a fallout shelter sign right by the door!
The lack of glove use is pretty wild. Then again a different time.
Gloves did not get used till the 90s
Why is Bob’s management not at the hospital with him?
Bobs Union rep told management to keep their goons away. Bob is going to sue.
That hospital sure did get a lot of exposure cases LOL
In the backyard of a local hospital we collected lots of little lead containers for medical radioactive waste when I was junger. 😂
OMG!!! Where do you find these films to share! Thank you... thank you... THANK YOU!!!!
Good question! Watch this: ruclips.net/video/yhJIIhxng_A/видео.html and if you love what we do -- support us on Patreon.com/Periscopefilm
Good name for a band.
Well they were dead wrong about nuclear power providing half our power by the year 2000.
Looks like it was filmed at Brookhaven National Lab on Long Island. “Bellport” on the ambulance is a nearby town.
That’s exactly where this was filmed. Good eye 👍
Basically, hope it isn't too bad then you're good 👍
Is that Raymond Burr narrating?
No EMTALA in 1969... sorry 'bout your luck, buddy.
@3:32 lmao tokaimura predicted 28 years earlier
Yup
👍
To see how people treat radiation accident patients, just watch what how the plant boss treats Matt Damon in the movie "Elysium". Just get him out of here; I don't want to have to change the sheets on the ambulance cot.
"Hot" stuff!☢️
Is this information correct? Is it only if someone is exposed to a reactor core or something that they become a danger to other people? It seems like this is propaganda aimed at people fearing ever working in those facilities with radioactive materials and at hospital staff in being willing to treat patients.
They only become a danger to other people when they have radioactive material on them. Dust, particles etc. This is especially the case for Alpha and Beta emitters, usually associated with fallout dust and radiactive waste if they got it on themselves. If they've just been irradiated by a strong gamma radiation source then yes it sucks massively for them, but they will not be radioactive themselves nor an immediate harm to others.
The usual immediate solution to someone that's become radioactively contaminated (that is has gotten radioactive liquids/dusts etc directly on them) is removing all clothing and fully washing them. Similar to any sort of chemical spill accident.
Water is also a good radiation shield and the waste water from this may be separately collected and filtered to avoid letting any radioactive particulate it into the normal sewage system.
So yes it is overall quite accurate albeit dated and representative of the best knowledge available at the time.
It's definitely propaganda. I've watched that Galen Winsor lectures all the way through dozens of times. Uranium under pressure just creates heat. It's just a way to boil water to turn a turbine. It's safe clean energy.
No way is that the original music. What's the point? Please reconsider adding music.,

The way the doctor was acting you'd have thought the patient hadn't been vaccinated.
