The x-rays!


One day last week I was a little bored. That happens sometimes. I don't always have something to do. I wandered around my clinic and asked what everyone else was doing. My nurse was going through old x-rays. An x-ray is a picture that we take with a big machine. It lets the doctor's see inside a dog or a cat without making a hole in them. The bones show up really white. It's really neat to look at x-rays. My nurse was taking out the old x-rays from when my doctor first opened my clinic. They were really old - seven years old! My nurse said that we only keep x-rays for seven years and then we give them away to someone who destroys them for us. I decided that she needed some help.
