No. Thanks for blowing my comments completely out of proportion.

Believe me, it isn't easy. What if the child has a very serious condition? Better to let them suffer or die than to be strapped in this restraint for a couple of minutes?? Maybe you have some better ideas? I'd like to hear them if you do!!</p> Have you ever tried to get a good diagnostic chest x-ray of an uncooperative child that two adults can’t hold still?

I am a senior student in a radiography program. I found the comments very amussing however, technologists take the immobilization of a child very seriously. Of course it is scary for the child, however by keeping the child still we eliminate the need for a repeated film which reduces the child's exposure to radiation. And also when a child screams they take in a deep breath which is important for chest x-rays. So ya we do say it's a keeper, but we have the child's best interest in mind too.<br /> Thanks</p> I found your website while researching immobilizing device for a school project.
