Hello Lactnet gurus.
Although this is my first time posting, I have felt connected to you and 
have been learning so much from you for some time now.

"Does anyone have access to information regarding or references regarding 
breast milk turning green after the mother has had Technetium (like 
thalium)?"

I am a PHN working on our Public Health Intake call line in Toronto, 
Ontario;we provide a lot of breastfeeding assessment and support to new 
mothers by telephone, as well as faciliate accessing direct support for 
mothers, as needed. 

A team-mate received a call late this afternoon from a local physician who 
was calling on behalf of his patient, who had technetium for a cardiac 
test more than 2 days ago.  Apparently, the mother has already 'pumped and 
dumped' for more than the 48 hours recommended by Hale.  A call to our 
local resource, Motherisk, confirmed that according to the information 
available to Motherisk, the mother should be able to resume breastfeeding 
now; and no additional info.  At this point, the mother is reluctant to 
resume breastfeeding without further clarification and reassurance.  Does 
anyone know anything that would further clarify this and reasssure this 
mother?

Many thanks in advance for your collective wisdom.
Martha
