They discovered that areas with a lot of doctors have higher rates of cancer. That's because doctors order a lot of x-ray screening. Radiation is cumulative--the more you have, the greater your risks of getting cancer. ALSO ladies: Breast tissue is MORE sensitive to radiation, so any screening that hits your chest is going into your breast tissue. TSA works around radiation machines all day. They also have high cancer rates. Morons in this world. Morons and Dr. Evils. What happens when you step into the airport screeners? Beware frequent flyers.
No one should get x-rays unless they are really really needed, and mammography probably causes more cancer than than it detects early (supposed purpose). They told me once I HAD to get a mammo, just as a standard yearly screening. Will never get another.
And why is radiation used for cancer treatment when it is known to CAUSE cancer?
I was also once forced to get fluoroscopy, a very HIGH dose of radiation, to screen for the possibility of stomach cancer, even though I had no symptoms. This was done to the workers at that hospital as a STANDARD yearly screening. Sheesh, no wonder they have high rates of stomach cancer. One of the men I worked with got stomach cancer in his forties. I avoided telling him the doctors might have given it to him with those yearly screens.. Wouldn't have believed it, wouldn't have helped.

I wanted an annual health check, and they told me I couldn't have it without adding a mammogram. I didn't yet know how dangerous mammograms are. Or doctors--25 years ago.
For the stomach fluoroscopy, I was told it was a REQUIRED screening from employer, supposedly government rules. I managed to avoid after that first one. Listen, everyone was lined up getting barium swallow followed by fluoroscope factory style. That was like 15 years ago. Kinda like how a lot of people got coerced into shots who didn't actually want them. I was complaining beforehand: "I think this is dangerous radiation, I don't want it." "It isn't dangerous! You have a duty to get the screening! It's government rules!"
This is what they want to do in the near future. They want total medical tyranny. If they get their way, you won't have any autonomy whatsoever over your own body.

Just insane, thats all I can say.
