Hi everyone!
Again I come to you with a problem. I have a client who started back to work in
a hospital and found she has to be exposed to patients who have radium inserts
for certain cancers. A warning outside their doors say " limit exposure to
fifteen minutes". My client is wondering if the minimum exposure has any
effect on her milk ? She also wonders if she should make every effort to stay
away from these patients? Her baby is almost 2 months old and breastfeeding
very well
I have tried to find some reference to this occurance but I have not been
successful.
I need an answer before the twenty-fifth of July when she returns to work.
Thanks in advance!
