What's the radiation exposure like in ortho? I imagine you're doig a lot of fluoro in spine cases, and trauma too? What about in sports/joints/hand?
I understand you wear lead, but I've come across a few studies citing an increased incidence of cancer amongst orthopods. Any thoughts on this? Does it ever cross anyone's mind? Does it make me a weenie for being hesitant about long term exposure under the beam? (yes probably)
