Side effects of Radiation | Deterministic vs. Stochastic effects
This video contains a simplified, visual explanation of the short-term and long-term side effects of radiation and the differences between deterministic and stochastic effects.
Summary:
- Deterministic effects are threshold effects, that are related directly to the absorbed radiation dose and the severity of the effect increases as the dose increases. Examples of deterministic effects include skin burns, loss of hair, and in extreme cases, death. Most deterministic effects occur shortly after exposure and are predictable and reproducible.
- Stochastic effects (cancers) occur by chance, generally occurring without a threshold level of dose. The probability of occurrence is proportional to the dose but the severity of the effect is independent of the dose received.

doctor, I have a problem. I have a severe addiction of learning new information from your channel. I am pretty sure the only cure, is you putting out more of these awesome videos 😅!

If somebody had leukemia, and he was treated, can he work in radiotherapy? After an amount of time after he was treated.

We all make the choices we make like driving a car ourselves. We make that risk management decision ourselves. With nuclear we don't get to make that risk assessment for ourselves while governments, corporations and others make that choice for us before we were all ever born and that's a problem

@@dr.paulinemoyaert What I mean by that is with you saying that's true then it's a small part of your duty as a Dr. to begin that action that needs to take place. That's how most of the issues like this are fixed....by the medical professionals showing these issues I've shared with you since we met right? Can you remember my first question to you?

@@paulmobleyscience I'm sorry, I don't think at all that this is my duty. This is not why I made this youtube channel, I made this youtube channel to educate people, so that they can make their own decisions and decide what is good/bad and if something should change. I'm not a doctor with a political agenda.

Radiation comes from nuclear weapons and explosions

radiation comes from a lot of things other than weapons and explosions. Radiation comes also from the sun, from the earth, things you eat and things you breath. people get cancer even from chemical stuff or things they eat or smoke. it's not that simple sadly... but understanding how it works in videos like that can help. radiation are dangerous and scary but can be really helpful in lot of medical areas
