    If they did it was totally unnecessary, as I’ve told you many times over now. And the few X rays you’ve had are hardly proof now is it? Nor does it tell us what the current standards of care are.

      I think you dont know and are doing by chatgpt results. Few xrays. Lol. I had several surgeries that required xrays as well as tumors, and my kids had broken bone xrays, and dental. It’s always the vest or apron. I’m not claiming it is necessary, I’m telling you what they do here, and why a person was asking about vests

        You really don’t handle being wrong very well, do you?

        But chatGPT is a good idea, maybe start by asking it some stuff and work your way up from there :)

          Uh I have lived experience, my wife works at a hospital and sees it. You are the one that is claiming something that isn’t true here.

            Ahhh yes, you have “lived” a bunch of X-rays and your wife works at a hospital. Tell me, is she a technologist at the radiology department? Or a radiologist? I doubt it. But if she is, maybe you can ask her what the current practices are.

              Lol get lost troll. You made a statement that didn’t reflect what happens here when somebody asked about patients wearing vests. You are pushing for doctors of a fluoroscope but that’s not all xrays. And current practise here is lead shielding.

                LOL, why is it so hard to accept the fact that you’re wrong? Or that your information is outdated? Have you always been like that?

                And I am “pushing for doctors of a fluoroscope”. WTF is this sentence?

                Mate, a fluoroscopy is a type of X-ray-based exam where the doctor wears the garment. That is the indication for lead garments, to protect other people in the room from scatter radiation coming off the patient at the time of the exam.

                The lead shielding is in the X-ray machine itself. Not on the patient. Your information is outdated.

                So again for the umpteenth time, next time they give you an apron tell them to properly collimate instead. Because lead aprons can actually increase your dose.

                You can take the redditor out of reddit, but you can’t take reddit out of the redditor.

                  Maybe you can check the current guidelines too and see that I’m not the one acting like he knows what’s up because “he has had a few X-rays in their time”…

                    You misunderstand. You have more credibility than the other person in the area of radiology. But you’re also 20 replies deep into an argument where it’s obvious that neither of you will give any ground, fighting over mostly semantics at this point. That’s redditor behaviour.
