There aer already risk vs benefit ideals out there.. the problem is
the risk most physicians have to consider it to their careers. and i
don't really blame them.. one x-ray could be the difference between a
career ending law suit and being able to remain in practice.

Radiation Risk of the X-Ray ---- OR risk of making an incorrect diagnosis
because the X-Ray was not taken and is not available to be offered up as
evidence in a trial?

What we need is tort reform. Which we will never get because
politicans are lawyers.. especially the 2 Democratic nominees..

Yes... We do need tort reform. So don't elect either of the two Democrats.

I for one cannot blame a physician for ordering these test for
lawyers.. too much at stake not to

Fair Enough...

But why not give patients more information about radiation risks as well?
