I heard about this and it really creeped me out.

Terri’s story is chilling.

Wow. What a story about your daughter’s x-ray. It’s amazing how little we still know about the effects of x-rays. Yet so many procedures these days are using fluoroscope x-rays–live x-rays of our insides that are ON during entire procedures. Such as this angiogram/angioplasty and epidurals and any procedure that requires accurate needle placement..

I do not think I would opt for this remote-controlled surgery although I know a man who had successful prostate surgery done this way.

Years ago, when I was in a long labor with my second child, a decision was made to take an x-ray to see if a C-section might be necessary. No sooner had the photo been taken than daughter #2 began to writhe within…and then I knew how powerful an x-ray could be. Many years later, this same daughter has a benign tumor removed from her breast…which her doctor said may have been with her since birth. Naturally, I wondered if this was the fallout of that x-ray.
