Actually, most scans these days are done with magnetic resonance imaging and have no ionizing radiation at all. But yes, it makes sense to at least baseline someone for future reference, something radiologists have been pushing for for years, and insurance companies have been fighting quarterly.And those pesky trial lawyers are a necessary evil when you can't get hospitals to standardize on something as pathetically cheap and simple as the color coding for those bracelets they make "guests" wear while in custody. Each color has specific meaning and different hospitals use different colors to indicate "Do Not resuscitate" or "fall hazard" and such. Then add to that the lack of a simple coding for "THIS leg comes off, not the other one" or an extra person on the surgical crew to count how many clamps went in versus how many came out. :( Trial lawyers wouldn't have anything to do if all those shortcuts weren't taken. :( |
