The effects of a radiation error can be absolutely devastating. Recent stories of patients who have been seriously harmed by a radiation overdose have raised the level of concern for this type of treatment. While radiation can be helpful for patients with malignant tumors, a radiation mistake can be extremely harmful.
A radiation error can lead to harmful effects such as:
- organ failure
- tissue damage
- reduced cell reproduction
- damaged DNA
- burns
- cell damage
- bone marrow destruction
- infection
- hemorrhaging
- blood vessel damage
- brain swelling
- shock
- neurological disturbances
- death
No patient should have to suffer further injuries because of a radiation error. The reality is that many of these types of medication errors are completely preventable.
