How can doctors address the damage radiation does to your cells?
In: Biology
They can’t. The best they can do is try to limit the consequences.
You are going to be put on antibiotics and stay in a clean room. Because for the next few weeks you will not have an immune system.
If it bad but not lethal you will also have to deal with a lot of internal bleeding, so blood transfusions and draining of pooled fluids. Also possibly skin rot so cleaning/ removing affected skin.
Finally a ton of pain killers. You will need them.
If they can keep you alive for about a month your body will have time to replace the dead cells.
