The last 2 times I've gone for my yearly pics, I've come back covered in bruises.
The last time, the found an anomaly and made me come back a week later for another set of pics. I was still black and blue from the first set and the tech was shocked at how badly I had been treated. Then, she proceeded to treat me the same way (or a bit worse) and I received even more bruises.
And they wonder why we put off going.

Combined with the average doctor's nearly medieval diagnostic tools ("Have you had a fever or any chest pains recently?") and the fact he as about 13.5 seconds to spend with each patient, we may as well read tea leaves to figure out if we have a problem and how to cure it.
