You should look at some of the quackery they did with x-rays. My mother had acne treated with x-rays in her early teens, multiple sessions. We've wondered how much this contributed to her multiple myeloma. When diagnosed she was 63 with stage 4/grade 2, no prior family history.
I’ve always thought it funny that the medical profession insists that x-rays are perfectly safe, but every time I’ve had them, the tech always scurries off to the Shielded Room or dons a lead-lined apron.
But I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.
