I definitely thought of that scene from that one movie where the alien bursts out of the astronaut's chest.

He was likely watching some cutie walk by and didn't connect his muttered comment to op's concern.

X rays actually don't have radiation, they are magnetic. Well, thats what my doc told me.

The tech obviously saw the Virgin Mary in your x-ray. He's probably auctioning it off on eBay at this very moment. In all seriousness, though, that's a horribly shitty thing for you to have to experience, and I hope that everything will be OK in the end. As stated by others above, try not to put too much stock in the comment since it originated from an unqualified source and could've been completely unrelated anyway.

Only in Canada ahaha jk I'm Canadian

111- You should probably switch doctors then, because (correct me if I'm wrong Doc) X-rays do, in fact, emit radiation. That's why you wear a lead vest on the rest of your body when you're X-raying your teeth, arm, etc; because lead doesn't absorb radiation.

Midgles - He was talking about an MRI. There's no radiation there, nor is there with ultrasound. But plain X-rays and CT scans do expose you to radiation, though much less than in the past.

Add that to the list of things you never want to hear.
