“I heard that they found alpha particles shooting out from one of his eyes; his hair had a certain amount of radioactivity and even his trousers were radioactive. Apparently, he was still wearing the same trousers as he wore during the accident, though I am not positive of this. They put him on a diet which was alternately rich in calcium and low in calcium. The idea was said to be that this would alternatively remove and deposit calcium on the bones and prevent radium from being permanently seated there.” - Walter Bleakney January 7, 1971
