Gifts For A Radiation Therapist

A radiation therapist touches many lives and can be touched in return by a well chosen gift


Radiation therapists' primary job function is administering radiation therapy to cancer patients. Because it is a serious and somber career that deals with heartache and difficult situations, a gift that can bring a smile may be appropriate. Noting the lighter side of the job, while maintaining respect for the profession, can help produce a gift that's memorable. However, choose gifts carefully, balancing humor with appropriateness.


Glow


Playfully make fun of the humorous and nonexistent aftereffect of radiation by highlighting the mythical radiation glow. Give the radiation therapist a combination pack of various glow sticks. They could be hand-held glow sticks or those found in necklaces or small ones held in the mouth during events such as Halloween. Glow-in-the-dark nail polish and makeup may complete the package.


T-Shirt


T-shirts can be customized through vendors or through online custom T-shirt companies to display phrases of your choosing. Create a T-shirt for the radiologist that may lighten his serious job. Phrases such as "This is my radiation therapy shirt" with a burn mark in the center of the shirt is one example. Another simple example is having the phrase "I Love My Radiation Therapist" across the shirt with a heart replacing the word love.


Collection


A collection of letters from successfully treated patients can provide encouragement for a radiation therapists, especially if he is working with a somber situation. A book that displays the positive results of his work, perhaps in the form of pictures of people whose lives he has touched, could become a keepsake. The radiation therapist can share elements of the book with his patients to provide encouragement.
