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 Or that your information is outdated?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 Your information is outdated.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.
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.
Ahh well that’s just me. I don’t handle obtuse people who are confidently wrong very well, but I guess that makes me an obtuse idiot too. I have been doing that since before I ever heard of Reddit. I have seen 9GAG slide off into right wing extremism. You bet your ass I had some long-winded discussions there :)

You can take the redditor out of reddit, but you can’t take reddit out of the redditor.
Meh, guy may be a radiologist even, but its not how our system operates.
