Sommeliers spit out the wine that they tell you to drink. Very suspicious. /s

This is such a dumb trope that keeps getting repeated in memes. Dosage size matters.

thanks. I was not sure how to respond to this. I suspect they understand that doctors or more likely the nurse or tech would be exposed to dozens of xrays a day instead of less than one a year but you never know.

Also we probably shouldn't tell them about background radiation.

For the curious a chest X-ray is about 0.02 mSv where your annual dose from background is about 2.4mSv, but this easily can be twice this if you live at high altitude or in an area with a higher level of radioactive minerals. Or if you are very lucky somewhere where both are a problem.

Hell airline crews are classified as radiation workers because the higher doses of cosmic radiation puts them over the threshold of on job exposure .

after the 4th opinion, and a leg grows out of your chest

"Couldn't find any broken bones but we were alarmed to find a leg growing out of your chest."

People are upset when I throw a single pebble but when I throw a hand full they suddenly get really mad 🤷‍♀️

Is it cumulative? Or is it probability — which of course goes up if you shower yourself in radiation multiple times a day?

Hey man sorry I accused you of starting shit in that other thread.

Someone needs to learn about cumulative grenade.
