CT Scans---Think Twice
 

well thats messed up ive had a few of those

too late.. i have had a few as well...

Well crap, I'm screwed. With the head injury over in Iraq, I've had a lot of them. :scare2: :argh:

I dont have enough up there to hurt, so I've never had to have one...

Yea, I watched that last night. That's scary. Dr Gupta said women are more prone to the risk. :argh:

so... die from what ever they are trying to find with the CT scan (its not like they do them for shits and giggles, if you get one it cause you need it) or run a chance of getting cancer from it... According to the American Cancer Society's recent 2009 report, about 1,479,350 new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2009. for teh "tens of thousands" they claim I'll split it and say 50,000... That means that .0337% of cancers cases each year are from CT scans...

Still very good info and I hope they use it to make CT's safer! I wish there was no cancer (it runs strong in my family) but that wont keep me from getting a CT scan if I need it.

How much you want to bet this was released so people would tell their doc's they don't want that so the government can spend less on heathcare when they get done with their hostile take over.
