Ah, those were simpler times, and while I have a penchant, for many
aspects of those simpler times, there were many things, that were just
plain stupid, those x-ray machines a case in point. The detrimental
effects of excessive radiation have been well understood for a long
time. My orthodontist had an X-ray machine, whenever he'd take an
x-ray, he'd wear a lead apron, (as would any member of his staff, in the
same room). The x-ray machine was kept in his private office to keep
the uninitiated from messing with it.

When I was young, every shoe store had an X-Ray machine, purportedly
for guaranteeing a proper fit for new shoes, especially for children.
On a typical shoe shopping excursion, a child might stick his feet
into the machine up to 5 or 6 times. I knew children who would stop
at the shoe store every day on their way home from school to wiggle
their feet and watch the bones move through the machines viewer.

Good thing about that, a whole body X-ray isn't a great idea, let alone a
series for a calendar.
