I snipped all but the above to keep things brief.

Question, would you as a MD ever advise a person to accept x-ray exposure unless there was a qualified medical reason? That is what TSA was doing with Backscatter Strip Search Machines. Thankfully they are no longer being used.

Radiogirl has posted numerous times on the MMW scanners. She strongly suggests that the MMW are harmless if I fully understand her writings.

Your comment on front staff people in some practices is interesting.

I find that how I am treated by the doctors gatekeepers has a major impact on if I will continue to use that practice. In fact I did drop a doctor for exactly that reason. I really liked him and felt that he was very competent.

Doctors and all professionals need to be aware of what is happening out front in their offices. The actions of their employees can have a major impact on how patients and customers feel.
