So,
this is different from the claims by people who say that cancer rates have
increased around Chernobyl, or US nuclear power plants. Anecdotal evidence
cannot be verified. I am not saying what you heard is what you heard, but
since it appears that it does fit your philosophy it must be true.
Obviously, my comments are not specific to the use of CTs in
diagnosis.

>I assume you have proof that CTs were not
being performed. Or is this another outrageous claim that we accuse the
anit-radiation forces?
No one has published a study, no, but I'm not
making up the claim. Many medical departments around the country have reported
this phenomenon (parents resisting or refusing CTs for their children after
this study was published), and we've seen it at Vanderbilt. I'm also not saying that anyone specifically has died from
poor diagnosis, my point is that if we cut back on medical care and research,
there are actual human beings involved, not theoretical phantom LNT beings,
and there will be real health effects.
