Kenyan Man in Alabama among First Four Students in the US to Graduate With a Master's Degree in Nuclear Medicine

Not true. There are several doctors of medicine

Kudos Gitau wa Wairimu! The mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Hongera sana brada.

congratulations for your achievement.

Congratz

Hongera to American born Gitau wa Wairimu.Is he related to "Dr"/RAPIST/CONMAN Mugo(waGaithari)WWairimu?And who taught them if they were the first people to attain masters in the field?

Kograts our maumau comrade.Now the Kenyan gava can chase this good brains n let him serve his native country?Its time for our Africans especially Kenyans to come home n give back n help our continent grow.But hii $$$$ ilituharibu sana.

this is a useless degree if it cannot cure raila's political madness

Oh please...this is an overhyped title. I have worked with radiopharmaceuticals...and frankly, u don't need that Masters. In the South it is a big deal, but up North....meeeh. Purdue University has been training pharmacists and techs since zamani, same to U of Arkansas. It sounds technical, but nothing really hard about it. You tag radioisotopes (commonly technitium) to WBC, inject a patient....and following the natural flow of plasma or blood, it will shine where the pathogenesis is in the body. GE produces Myoview (when you go for your stress test) the injection u get so your heart can be lit up and we can see which part is 'dead' before we decide if you need open heard surgery or need to stop hogging. It sounds tough more coz of the safety regulations that must be observed...speed is the word while dealing with this. Slack, u get irradiated. U might start 'glowing' in the night if u aint careful

Mr Wairimu Kenya needs you more

Diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures can result in relatively TC-99 exposure to the your family this might lead to long term risks-autism,cancer-thyroids,hormone imbalance.The technician work under protection rings to keep away the exposure.However the decay time of most isotopes if over 6 hours and by the time you get home you will be exposing your family to gamma particles and can lead to unwanted health effects.The program was used in military but hospitals realized they could make huge profits.The risk associated with the program is not worth the reward especially if you have children,young pregnant women and infants.

@Omera, your spirit is nasty. Before you hate on this brother who appears to deflect your deficits, please note he is Kenyan born and migrated to the US in his teens. He is a beacon of hope as you will see from this clip. Watch, listen and humble yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRaSSYmI6pY

@Dr Sifuna &John Chuaga....we get the picture. But he has taken an informed choice, so don't rain on his parade and try and take the shine off his achievement! Just congratulate that he is one of four to get the masters! That is an achievement in itself. But thanks for the lesson on this, but doubt any of us were looking to go out and hook up with the guy. Jamani!

@ sukari & mugikuyu… the only protection they wear is a ring badge on the dominant hand, with the label facing the radiation source. Studies have confirmed that staff working within this program are exposed to high levels of occupational radiation doses to which they (and/or their family) could be routinely be exposed resulting to unwanted health issues (Hospitals bury the issue for profit margins) Read Dr. Sifuna well articulated article above. Just ask yourself, why ‘wahindis’ are keeping away from the program considering their passion for Med.Courses? Mugukiyu, don’t mistake my absence of sharing compliments…..I happen to have HCP knowledge to let my dear Kenyan light their candles.

That is my home boy! Gitau congrats brother ...Good news. May God bless you exceedingly!
