That must been the General Practitioners that said that....
No. Radiologists.
I had a discussion with someone who worked at a hospital that was at the vanguard of the transition to digital imaging.
There was so much resistance, that they took a piece of film, cut out the center of the film and attached it to a monitor on a workstation, so the radiologist could reach up and grab a reassuring piece of film between their fingers while they viewed the digital images.
I think they were joking.
Maybe.
