A question for all the #medical #doctors out there:

Got an x-ray for a tennis elbow issue and I was surprised that the technician did not offer me any lead radiation protection thingies to put on my side and head while the elbow x-rays were taken. I inquired, and she said, "oh, we don't offer them anymore. we found that the lead actually keeps the radiation in the body longer" and I'm thinking, WTF?

Since when? Is there a peer-reviewed journal article on that?
