Safer technology in medical Practices & HospitaLS
Injury and disability from exposures to electromagnetic radiation are increasing. Physicians are seeing more patients who have disabling symptoms that are exacerbated by exposure to wireless devices and infrastructure such as cell towers and digital "smart" meters.
We strongly recommend the EMF Medical Course for physicians, medical professionals, and attorneys. The course videos are currently free, though Continuing Medical Education credits have expired. https://vimeo.com/showcase/10624511
IS YOUR OFFICE ACCESSIBLE?
This may be a problem for patients who have severe EMR Syndrome. EMR Syndrome is the new name for the disabling condition that can result. Consider seeing patients who have EMR syndrome early or later in the day when fewer people (and cellphones and other wireless devices) are in the office. If possible, turn the WiFi off for these patients. Hardwiring the office internet would be best. It is a health promoting decision for all. Another option is to provide telemedicine, phone calls, or other individualized accommodations as requested. Most people with EMR Syndrome have hardwired internet and landlines phones.
