Is that right? Did you really say that?

I'm a radiation safety adviser at a mine.  My favourite so far has been the suggestion that I should look into worker's compensation due to my breast cancer.  After years in the field of mine radiation safety I know most people have a limited understanding of the risks of low dose radiation so I patiently explained that there is no credible scientific evidence to link the extremely low levels of radiation that I received at work to cancer. Nope, advise from an experienced radiation safety adviser fell on deaf ears. She was still insistent that I look into workers comp.  

Again - she meant well.  They all do.  But bloody hell! I didn't know whether to laugh or scream.
