Title	Agreement State Report - Patient Leaves Radiation Therapy Treatment Without Receiving Required Instructions
Event Description	Received from the state by facsimile: The patient left the hospital without receiving the required radiation therapy instruction. "The patient and her husband were adamant about leaving without waiting any longer. This was an unreasonable patient's husband driving this situation and we [Swedish Hospital] see no need to change our release criteria or procedures because of aberrant behavior of a family member. The patient had this procedure twice before [September 2005 and April 2006]. The implant in 2005 delivered 0.99 GBq. At the time the exposure reading at one meter was 0.25 mR/hr. This most recent procedure delivered less activity, and I would anticipate an even smaller exposure risk at one meter. Source: Y-90 SIR Spheres at approximately 0.9 GBq
