Stupid things religious people say

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.

When I was to the point of follow up testing after my mastectomies, I asked the oncologist if we would be doing scans (MRI or CT) to keep watch on things.

Her exact words were: Those things aren't good for you.

Yet they treat some people with radiation.

I went with bloodwork twice a year that looked for specific markers and one chest X-ray a year.
