The patient was apparently not responding well to the treatment so he was brought back to Vanderbilt to have the seeds removed. Today, only 39 of the 50 seeds were recovered from the patient. According to the patient, prior to returning to Vanderbilt to have the seeds removed the patient stated that he 'picked' the 11 seeds out and threw them in the trash can at his home near Huntsville, Al. Total activity of the 11 missing seeds, after decay, equals 1.71 mCi of I-125.

Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
