Cam simply suffers from professional pride and although I am not a pharmacist, I can relate as it implies to my own job as an x-ray technician.Although I am a schooled, state-licensed and nationally certified x-ray technologist required to submit continuing education credits to remain certified, it is not illegal for anyone - your postman, your hairdresser or your second-grader - to operate x-ray equipment. This is just as ludicrous and dangerous as the uninformed dispensing advice about medication - not only because of the radiation involved, but because an accurate diagnosis can be determined only by an optimal radiograph provided by trained and qualified personnel.
Insist that your x-rays are taken by only ARRT-certified technicians!
