+1000 for the needle thing
Don't ever trust someone in China over this (as in most countries)

In fact, it WAS one in another life. (yellow by chance?)

If it looked old, I recommend you to avoid anymore xrays for some years if you can. (Now you know : no more bone breaking no no no)

To give you an idea, the french archeologists use an old xray engine from the 30s to get in situ mummies picture in Saqqarah, as they spit out so much xrays they can go through all the opacifying material the guys used to mummify the lucky ones… Any Xray engine older than the 70s should be fled like the plague.

Mhmm uro sorbet, delightful. At least the samples are fresh ;)

It's better than be sent in a L… G… ;)

He was debriefed by his officer. ;)

How have you done then?

Quality has a price…, even in China ;)

Fortunate you, you came out alive!
