Hi,

I will CC Lydia too...

Tesla coils are a significant electrical engineering challenge!  But 
most of the engineering is well known now.

The frequency of 17Mhz is very unusual for such devices.  Perhaps 
your doctor is trying to repair an existing machine or make a new 
one.  The voltages are extreme so "oil" is the usual choice for insulation.

Here on the Tesla coil builder's list, we can probably answer such 
question with ease if we know enough about the application and requirements.

If this is a "medical" application.  There are NO "approved" Tesla 
coil medical devices!!  Diathermey and perhaps MRI may draw a few 
ideas from Tesla coils, but they are very different devices!!

We always worry greatly about the unfortunate past history of Tesla 
coils and medicine:

Beware that such thing can be very leathal if not 
understood!!!  Might want to read through this:

So aside form all the "worry/scary" stuff, we really need to know 
much more about the application, design, and details of the Tesla 
coil you have there.  Pictures answer so much!

The Tesla coil list has about 1500 Tesla coil members from beginer to 
far expert...  You can subscribe to the list easily...
