Is this for real ?! There isn't any measures to protect them ? What is the point of making 300k if they averagly die before 55 ? I mean if anyone knows this information is true or not, sounds terrible to me.

Interventionalists (radiology, cardiology, others) are prone to premature posterior subcapsular cataracts. This is 2003-2004 info.

Well, yeah, of course... but so is anyone who stick their hands in the radiation field of a C-arm fluoroscopy (Ortho, Cardio, Pulm, Surg). You see it all the time in the hospital during a procedure... I'm not surprised one damned bit.

I always thought that most radiologists were spawned from nuclear waste at the bottom of the ocean (like Godzilla) and were immune to radiation. 😉

No, years spent in dark rooms shielded from sunlight and cosmic rays results in down regulation of their DNA repair enzymes thus resulting in an increased sensitivity to mutations 😀

I heard chronic masturbaters are also prone to hand cancer. Someone should do a prospective cohort study and find out. Chronically masturbating radiologists should be off the chart!

Actually, I heard of one study in which frequent masturbators had less prostate cancer.

Guess I know what I'm not dying from.
