YOUR DISEASE IS HIDING UNDER ALL YOUR FAT

As if you don’t have enough medical concerns if you are overweight, a new report in Radiology Journal has found that increasing numbers of Americans are too fat to fit into X-ray machines and are not receiving a proper diagnosis of their conditions. Not only are many Americans too large to fit into medical scanning devices, but the ultrasound waves are unable to penetrate through large amounts of fatty tissues and so are unable to create an accurate image. According to this report, the number of overweight patients who were unable to fit into X-ray machines has doubled in the past 15 years. (BBC)
