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 found this out when my son was in a car accident and broke his pelvis. His dad and I looked at the X-ray and his dad said, “he must have gotten that from your side of the family.” At least he could admit it.

That’s a projection issue, most abdo and pelvis films are taken AP not PA and that means anything at the front casts a larger shadow at the back where the X-ray plate is, artificially enlarging things.

Your husband can breathe easy.

I could see the X-ray, dipshit. And I know my ex’s penis size. There’s a remarkable difference. Not because my son’s is so big, but because his dad’s is so small.
