Silicosis screening x-rays in motel parking lots

March 13, 2007

X-rays that Most Health took in Pennsylvania while screening for asbestosis were sent uninterpreted to Provost & Umphrey, which, in turn, had them read by others for silicosis, Kemeny said. He admitted that those X-rays were taken without the state-required prescriptions, though the company since has changed this practice.
