Cat Scans Increase Cancer Risk

Letting the cat out of the bag: CT Scans may cause cancer. CT scans are overused on healthy patients in ERs. Oh swell, I had every inch of my body CT scanned a year ago, when I spent 5 days in a local hospital's ICU. I finally had to say, "ENOUGH." Now I am just angry, once again I allowed the medical community boss me around and I just took it. Even though Aunt Vi was screaming in my head: DON'T LET THEM DO IT. RADIATION--BAD

No more dental X-rays every 6 months, and I won't be guilted about it.
