RE: " 'A ray a day' to replace the daily apple? " [FW]
In an effort to bring a "ray of truth" into this issue, the conclusions
reached by John Cameron and N. Daunt are not those of the author of the
original article. If anyone would like a copy of the original British
study, let me know by replying directly. I think the graphed data presented
a more interesting view of the data than the p-value.

. . .
Last year, in a BJR article titled "100 years of observation on British
radiologists: mortality from cancer and other causes 1897-1997," several
authors looked for, but didn't find, an increased cancer death rate in
radiologists over the last 50 years. Radiologists are doctors who work with
x-rays every day and who receive regular low doses of radiation due to the
nature of their work. As radiologists ourselves, we're pleased.
In the July BJR issue, University of Wisconsin Professor Emeritus John R.
Cameron and N. Daunt of Australia each made some very interesting
observations about the data in the study.
