    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 Or that your information is outdated?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 Your information is outdated.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.
