    What if she was pregnant, mammogram caused irreparable harm to fetus, she couldn’t abort even if the harm had caused the fetus to die in her uterus which may have caused her to die or be infertile.

    I am not saying it was right decision but this might have been the thought process behind it.

    One should remember the possibility of these outcomes are more than the benefits she might have had by the mammogram, if it was preventive not diagnostic.

      What if she has cancer and the cancer does irreparable damage to her life dumbass. Also, they could just check for a fetus if that’s a concern.

      And what if she wasn’t pregnant and died of breast cancer because she couldn’t get a mammogram to detect it while it was still treatable?

      Do you see why these hypotheticals are stupid?
