    You know we still xray people at diamond mines here in South Africa. Try visiting a De Beers mine and see for yourself.

      I’m depressed enough as it is thank you.

      Daily x-rays… Seems like that won’t have any impact to long term survival.

      What a humane way to prevent theft.

        Yeah, I was wondering whether this was worse for the miners or the examiner. I’m sure that today modern technology protects the examiner more thoroughly and that they still don’t care about the miners. But I could be wrong. Maybe they don’t care about the examiner either.

          My grandfather died in his 50s likely due to constant exposure from industrial xrays in the 50s and 60s. He was a college educated white guy in the US, so I’m guessing they give even fewer fucks about these guys.

            I’m sorry for your loss.

            This is the reason why you can only get so many medical scans per year, to limit exposure. I’m sure the corporations who are running the equipment for non-medical reasons couldn’t give less of a shit, since caring doesn’t usually drive profits.

            It’s truly horrendous and should have never been allowed.

      Really? Jesus. I would have expected such a thing to have long died out.
