An afternoon in A&E..check your steps

Just spent a few hours in A&E:nurse: Bottom of combi ladders collapsed, I'm stood on top with long-reach hedgetrimmer and the next thing I know I hit the Tarmac head first.

 

Anyway...bit of dizziness and no recall of how I drove to the job! The surprising fact is that when the Doctor was talking about a CT scan he told me that out of 1 million scans there is a possibility that 30k tumours may result from them.

 

Check your ladders.

so the CT scans cause tumours or just reveal those that are already there that we dont already know about? Scary as I have had several of those CT and PET CT scans in the last few months:thumbdown:

 

Hope you're feeling better soon fella

 

Cheers.

 

Doc reckons the scans use a serious amount of radiation and don't use them willy nilly. Don't want to scaremonger tho as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
