To the rad techs: How do you respond when someone says "You know that isn't the side that hurts" when you take a lateral?
I've had this happen several times lately and I want to find the right balance between "I have done this thousands of times and you have no idea how radiography works. So maybe trust the professional" and explaining to them that "x-rays pass all the way through the tissue so it would look nearly the same either way and this is the standard way of capturing a lateral image of this body part".
