One of my a ex-girlfriend's mother was one of the doctors that tended to some of the sick. She didn't like to talk about it, saying the movie covered what she saw but, ~20 years later (at the time we were dating) she didn't like to remember what she went through.
I vividly remember her talking about it because she tried to end the conversation with a joke ("don't poke holes in stuff") that didn't land but I had a polite chuckle to move on.
- matheusmoreira 5y agoThat's really interesting. I've always wondered what those doctors went through. Radiation exposure must have been so far down the list of likely diagnoses...

For a short period, there was a massive fear around it, and the risk of mass contamination was in the population day to day talk. You see, the Goiânia incident was almost a year and a half after the Chernobyl incident, which just made the situation worse. As soon as the tests came back and most of the population was ok, most of the fear in the people and medical professionals alike began to fade away. After that, most of our worries began to switch into waste management and what to make with all the soil and things that were contaminated in the process
