Cancer Treatment Kills

Unsafe levels of radiation are killing those suffering with cancer. If planes were falling out of the skies due to design errors or software errors there would be outrage. Design errors and software errors in the burn/cut/poison cancer industry are largely ignored.

A Pinpoint Beam Strays Invisibly, Harming Instead of Healing
Two other patients were overdosed before the hospital realized that the device, a linear accelerator, had inexplicably allowed radiation to spill outside a heavy metal cone attachment that was supposed to channel the beam to a specific spot in the brain. One month later, the same accident happened at another hospital.
In Missouri, for example, 76 patients were overradiated because a medical physicist did not realize that the smaller radiation beam used in radiosurgery had to be calibrated differently than the larger beam used for more traditional radiation therapy.
