(Also being an x-ray technologist) Unfortunately I've heard of this happening also....The patient claimed that they had developed Cancer from a single Portable X-ray in the ER. The patient dividers at San Diego ER used to be nothing but drapes, and a portable chest x-ray was shot on a patient next door. I'm almost positive that the patient was not successful in his litigation.
Sorry, I digress....
