Twenty-four hours after treatment, his radioactive iodine uptake was 63%. Three weeks after treatment, he returned to our clinic complaining that he had been strip-searched twice at Manhattan subway stations. Police had identified him as emitting radiation and had detained him for further questioning. He returned to the clinic and requested a letter stating that he had recently been treated with radioactive iodine.<br \/>\nThis patient&#8217;s experience indicates that radiation detection devices are being installed in public places in New York City and perhaps elsewhere. Patients who have been treated with radioactive iodine or other isotopes may be identified and interrogated by the police because of the radiation they emit.<br \/>\n<b>\u0085<\/b><\/I><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, <u>that\u0092s<\/u> good news\u0085<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case you\u0092re wondering if our tax dollars are actually doing anything about terrorism\u0085 (from the JAMA via Course of Thought) Police Detainment of a Patient Following Treatment With Radioactive Iodine To the Editor: We recently treated a 34-year-old man for Graves disease with 20 mCi of iodine 131.
