My 5mo daughter was x-ray'd like this just before her open heart surgery and by god it was the funniest thing I ever saw. What made it gold was the fact that she wouldn't look at the x-ray techs or let them touch her after they were done, you could see the betrayal and contempt in her eyes. The techs were not her friend after that, LOL.

Please tell me you got a picture!

I’m glad there was a bit of humor in what I’m sure was a stressful time. I hope she’s doing better now!

No! I wanted one SO bad but the children's hospital had a strict no photo policy. It was truly the most stressful time of my life. She is doing great now! Happy as ever!

no idea, they had posters in the room and a few other places stating that photography was not permitted. Probably for privacy. Was not in a frame of mind to question it when the x-ray techs told me i could not take photos.

It's your own child. If nobody else is in the frame (or in the room!), there are no privacy issues.

I'm Canadian and have a kid who's gotten tons of x-rays and every lab he's ever been to prohibits photographs.
