X-RAYS AND UNSHIELDED INFANTS:

In X-rays, exposure to radiation, though can help diagnose problems, has a bad downside.  Dr. Scalfani runs a department at State University Of New York.  One day, he noticed that an infant had been irradiated from head to toe.  The new pediatric radiologist noticed that the radiation level had been set way too high for infants.  The two doctors had put a stop to doing x-rays on infants and set limitations on when and how radiation can be used on babies.  This article made me extremely angry because these doctors are paid to treat patients.  If we pay as much as we do in healthcare then the doctors MUST know what they're doing.  There is no reason to pay so much for poor quality care.  The physicians must be fully aware of what's going on with all of their patients and the tests they must do.
