This was discovered in the town my family was from, Würzburg Germany. I got to see the bldg where the lab was. As great of a discovery, people at that time didnt know the harmful effects of over exposure. Edisons assistant lost his hands and died from the xray exposure.

Nikola Tesla was first who invented X-ray. A year earlier than Röntgen. Due to a fire in Tesla's lab, lost everything and didn't wanted to redo his research. Röntgen and Tesla worked together.

happydoghappycat, OMG! Come on up to Canada. Each citizen pitches in to pay for our medical system. Health care from a Dr. in an office, and in the hospital is basically free. $6,000 for a wrist x ray! So sad.

TheColonel4669, It still is. 1 Roentgen = .87 Rads

BTW he used his wife as a learning example. It took 25 minutes to take the x-ray then using film. We now use digital x-ray and exposure is almost minimal. I taught Dental Radiology for 22 years. It has surely changed!

Do not advocate Health Tourism .
Neither GP or hospital care are”basically free” as they are paid for by the taxpayer.
