In May of 2006, I had a breast augmentation procedure done. I was 25 at the time, and I had long been self-conscious about my breast size. The surgery went off without a hitch, and I was happy with this “better” version of myself. I have always been active and athletic, so I went right [...]
MRI’s are powerful diagnostic tools. You can see the insides of the body in great detail. But how reliable are they?
