After the events of the last few months, I started asking around about x-rays and radiation and all that. Turns out that the lead we wear blocks almost all of the x-rays. And there is lead covering the source on the C-arm at this hospital, which blocks about 90% of the radiation at the source.
Our x-ray tech said that our attendings, who are usually closer to the source, are well below the recommended dosage on their dosimeter. And that is worn on the *outside* of the lead apron.
So, I have concluded that my eggs are safe. I'd hate to fry them before they had a chance to be put to use!
The glowing must be from my most recent facial. ;-)
