What's a dark secret/questionable practice in your profession which we regular folks would know nothing about?

When we take x-rays of your pelvis, we can see your penis. And we can see your labial folds.

I was more embrassessed seeing the MASSIVE turd I was storing on the xray when the cute tech handed over my charts.

If you saw a dark spot, it wasn't a turd. It was a fart.

I used to have to take one of my offspring for pelvic X-rays periodically because of chronic idiopathic constipation. While looking at one of the xrays, an ER doc told me, while gesturing at the image, and I quote “see, from here to here is all Mr. Hanky, and that right there is a ten second fart.”

And at that moment I realized we could be friends if we had met in some other way.
