I can't get over how massively HUGE those machines are! I've watched a few UA-cam videos so far, and they are incredible! Thank you for the tour. I can't begin to imagine the power consumption,

😃" YEAH BABY!.... OSF Healthcare's St. Francis Medical Center just received one for it's state-of-the-art Cancer Institute, in my (Peoria, IL) hometown. It will be available for use, during 2024. Our entire region is so excited. Why? Soon, there won't be the need more referrals and long commutes to much larger metros for advanced Cancer Treatment. Nothing like having the best care right ' in your own backyard ' . "
