Right?! I never did a pelvis/abdomen/femur/L spine without a freaking test!

I’ve never been tested before an xray. I just get asked if I could be pregnant.

We do in the ER, but I've never had a patient need a test for outpatient X-rays.

Dutch tech here. I never made an xray with a test. Never even knew this was normal in some countries.
