Doctor Invents 'Zero Gravity' Radiation Suit

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday July 8, 2010 @03:12AM from the baron-harkonnen-approved dept.

DrFrasierCrane writes "You think you feel weighed down when your dentist lays that lead apron on you to take X-rays: how about the doctors who deal with radiation treatments and have to wear those aprons all day long? A Dallas, Texas, doctor has created a 'zero gravity' radiation suit for just that problem. From the article: 'Physicians are supposed to wear a lead apron during those procedures. It is back-breakingly heavy and doesn't cover the body completely. The zero gravity suit eliminates the weight and the exposed openings.'"

Don't you mean "Inertial Pampers"? They contain the mess when the dampers go out.
