body.
So What do you think, how can we see the internal parts of our body ? Yes, We use an
X-Ray. So what isan X-Ray? Does anybody know? No?
Well, An X-Ray is a spectrum of light. It is radiated through our body. It is used for detecting our
internal body organs. Am I making myself dear?
Well,Let me continue. Where can you find an X-Ray?Yes, that’s right. In a Hospital. And do you
know who invented the X-Ray ? Does anybody know?No? Oh, come on…Nobody remembers
the name? Well the X-Ray was invented by a German scientist, William Conrad Rontgen.

Where was I ? Oh,OK Hmm..when do people get an X-Ray? Correct, When they are ill. I
mean when there is something wrong with their internal parts of their body. Can You give any
examples of illnesses? When people have these disease they need an X-Ray to check. Yes,
Cancer..kidney trouble,..heart trouble,..tumors, etc.

Student, do you know that there are many conflicting opinions about the use of X-Ray in
a hospital? Well, look at the chart 60% of people agree that an X-Ray examination is beneficial.
They say that doctors should use an X-Ray in examinating a severe illness. If doctors don’t use
an X-Ray, They could miss some important information which is very useful in making a
diagnosis on patient’s disease. And this will sometimes cause a doctor to be inaccurate in
prescribing medicine to cure an illness.

However not all patients agree with the use of X-Ray examinations. Look at the chart
again, 40% of patients disagree with the use of an X-Ray examination. Do you know why ?
Guess What? They think that using an X-Ray examination will cost them a lot of money. That’s
really true. Another reason is that the radiation of an X-Ray has some risks to body tissues.

Well, As a result of this controversy, many people use traditional health cure to avoid
the high cost of hospital care. However, Hospital still insist on Having X-Ray examinations on
patients to get on accurate diagnosis although the cost is very high.
