Of course the TSA and DHS can irradiate you and their own workers in airports and train stations and no one says a thing...

This assumes they were actually doing the scans...

Actually doing the tests would cut into the fraud profits.

I think some "patients" may claim the tests were done to avoid self incrimination.

Computed Tomography (CT)-Abdomen and Pelvis,

30 mSv

Airport scanner (backscatter method):
0.0001 mSv

Not much risk that airport screening will cause an equivalent harm...

If what this looks like at first glance is true, this guy should go to prison. I read in one report that he ordered 100 CT scans - On One Patient! That’s disgusting.

He’s also a family practitioner, one of the primary care provider specialties that the government has been pushing as ‘gatekeepers’ to prevent unnecessary specialty care.

I encourage everyone to be very involved in their own medical care, to research their own conditions and the type of treatment they are receiving, and Never Ever assume that all doctors are equally effective. They most definitely are not, and literally whether or not you live or die can be dependent upon who your doctor is.

How many more doctors like this are out there?

President Palin will put an end to this kind of rampant fraud.
