GoldenAge Xrays

The Doctor's World
Radiology Was Young, and So Was I

In the early 1930s, after a year in general medicine, Dr. William S. Altman became one of the first trained radiologists in this country.
An homage by his son...also a doctor.
The days when doctors worked from home & went on house calls....

Spiffy read if you're interested in medical things.

BTW, is that a CMYK version of black and white? Seriously, nice photo though. I like the skeleton hand as well.

When I was a kid they still had those stand up x-ray machines at shoe stores. You stood up and stuck your feet under the device, and looked down into the viewer. You saw a nice outline of your foot bones that was supposed to help you see if your new shows fit. Nobody was giving much thought to the idea that the x-rays could be doing us any harm. Ah, the good old days.
