This 1969 film "Radiation Accident Patients" was presented by U. S. Atomic Energy Commission and is designed for the training of rescue workers, nurses, therapists, hospital administrators, physicians, police and firemen by explaining the proper procedure and protocols, highlighting the superstition that those patients might present a danger to personnel. The film is produced by Motion Picture Service USDA and Judd Scott, written by R. Stephen Brode, directed by Robert G. Keifer, edited by Robert L. Boyer, and photographed by Wolfgang Schubert and Ronald G. Stangl. Official summary: The film shows the techniques for proper handling of radiation accident patients; how to use simple detection instruments; radiation injury aspects of first aid.
