DMcG BS: Post Brexit life in the UK (6498* d) RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK 25 Jul 18

This was discussed last night and it was pointed out that some medicine cannot be stockpiled. For example, there are radioisotopes used in some treatments and investigations with a half life of roughly 2 hours. That can't be stockpiled.

(When I was 40 or so I was investigated a potential lung issue - there was none. But the radiologist/lung specialist asked me is I had any questions about using one of these isotopes, presumably anticipating the need to settle fears. Instead I asked him how they compensated for the fact that with a half life of 2 hours it would have decayed significantly during the 1 hour investigation itself and how did they compensate for this effect? We had a really interesting chat.)
