In the late 40's it was trendy in medicine to have people soak I guess gamma rays from an X-ray machine if what ever ailed you.My uncle in 49 or 50 when he was about 7 years old they did that to him for some thing not sure what it was a cold maybe as it was around his neck.
Well in the early 70's he started having thyroid problems so they took samples of his thyroid and sent them to experts on radiation caused cancers in Hiroshima Japan who where at the time and I assume still are the leading experts.They advised that the entire thyroid be removed. He has never had any problems since.
