Mindfulness Behavior in Radiation Therapy

摘要

If you are human, they are; humans are programmed to experience moments like these. Whenever we are performing recurring tasks, our brains go into a state of low energy, a mode known as automatic pilot. Typically, these moments are not a cause for concern--you eventually do find your car in that lot--however, for a radiation therapist, having the brain go on automatic pilot at work could be dangerous. You could miss an important step in the set-up process, or not hear the patient mention a previous adverse reaction to a drug. One way to avoid slipping into automatic pilot is to approach your tasks with mindfulness.
