Whydo I have to be examined every year?
Doctors still do not know everything aboutradiation sickness so they are checking
you to makesure that you are healthy. They check you every year so thatif you are
sick, they can find it early and treat you. Doctor Conard’s team treat many people
every year, even whenthesickness does not come from radiation. The Congress of
Micronesia recommends that everyone take the examination.

Whyare some people becoming sick now 20 years after the test?
The radiation was in their bones and certain parts of their bodies such as the thyroid gland. Doctors still don’t understand how radiation causes disease. That is why

they are checking you every year to make sure you are healthy.

Whydothey take our blood for examination and then throw someofit away?
The doctors take your blood to study it. They need to study your blood three or
four times so they want to make sure that they have enough blood. It is better to
take more blood than not enough because if they need more, they don’t haveto stick the needle into your arm again. You have plenty of blood so it won’t hurt-you to
