20 Sep 2010Registered users

'I have no doubt that the risks to which I have alluded are being daily diminished by skilled operators; but now that practically every County Council school is ordering, or trying to order, X-rays for every case of ringworm, and seeing that skilled radiographers and dermatologists are limited in number and are not to be found everywhere, I shall not be surprised if we do hear of children whose scalps  have been permanently injured by X-rays.'
