The Power of X-Ray Vision

The Power of X-Ray Vision. Ed C. Jerman. , A pioneer in the field of X-ray technology, Ed C. Jerman (1865-1936), developed the "Jerman static machine," used by doctors as a source of power for various electrical treatments, and the only machine on the market large enough for X-rays. He gave private instruction in the operation and handling of X-ray equipment, feeling there was a need for extensive technical training because untrained physicians often delegated X-ray responsibilities to staff members., Jerman was a charter member of the American Roentgen Ray Society and was a co-founder of the American Society of X-ray Technicians. A Topeka resident for the last half of his life, Jerman died there in 1936 - ironically from X-ray related injuries., For more fascinating factoids, visit Exploration Place - exploration.org
