>>Dear Colleagues,
>>I have discovered that there are physicians in our cardiac cath lab who do
>>not like using the lead table aprons, so their lower legs and feet are
>>without protection.  They are good about wearing lead aprons, but the
apron
>>length varies from the top of the knee to just below the knee (due to the
>>height of the physician and the make of the apron).
