Yeah, what kinds of things would you like to see in the future, if we keep mining for uranium?

Shannon Culwell 15:23
I don’t know. I mean, why do we need it? We have enough to [do what we need], right? We have enough to never need it again. Why do we keep mining it? So we can have more power, or whatever it may be? I just don’t feel that there’s a need. I mean, and I’m very, probably very ignorant to what the need actually is, you know. I just don’t — I mean, but if we take all of that away, then that would take away my job, you know.

Megan Vickery 15:59
Eventually, I guess, yeah.

Shannon Culwell 16:00
Right. It’s a vicious cycle.

Megan Vickery 16:05
Yeah, definitely. What do you think your patients would say to that question?

Shannon Culwell 16:11
I think that they would keep on. I think they are still very prideful. I mean, just like, like veterans, they’re very prideful in them going to war and coming back and all that. And it’s the camaraderie of them together. I mean, so I don’t think that they would change a thing.

Megan Vickery 16:34
Yeah that’s fair. Okay well, thank you for sharing that, for sharing your thoughts and also for sharing some stories about your work.

Shannon Culwell 16:49
Yeah, it’s pretty nice.
