Thank you, Gina, for sharing your story. That is so awful and sad that you spent a year in the hospital! I too wonder about X-ray exposure. I am 70 now, but when I was in my mid forties I had something respiratory going on. I went to my primary care physician who ordered an X-ray to be performed in office. The tech was new and put me very close to X-ray machine (maybe a foot or less). Images were blurry so she repeated a couple more times. Finally she told the doctor she was having trouble and the doctor moved me to the proper distance.
There are other factors that come to mind, but who knows if there was an impact from this event.
Best wishes, Cindy
