Rahim was a student of science and was suffering from some disease. He was under treatement of a restered medical practioner. The doctor sent Rahim repeatedly for x-rays examination. Rahim was hestitant for the same. He told the doctor that they had been tanght that the repeated exposure to x-rays would be harmful. The doctor told him not to worry as he knew things better. Read the above passage and answer the following questions:
(i) For what purpose x-ray examination of a patient is required by a doctor?
(ii) Is the doctor right to ask Rahim for repeated x-ray examination?
(iii) What do you learn from this study?

Explanation

(i) x-rays examination of a patient is required to diagnose the location of a defect or disease especially in
bones, as x-rays can pass through blood and flesh but not through bones.
(ii) No, the doctor is not right as repeated x-rays exmanination of a human body may destroy small and
sensitive tissue of the body which may cause further problems.
(iii) The doctor is not expected to misguide a patient for extraneous considerations. For a patient, the doctor
is next only to God. He should always provide a fair treatment.
