"Malpractice lawsuit"
I came here from today's DYK because I was interested in how X-ray technology was applied in its "first admission into a court of law." Hwever, this article doesn't currently explain it. Does anyone know what the malpractice lawsuit it was used in entailed, and how X-ray technology was applied? ~ Mable ( chat ) 14:04, 15 June 2018 (UTC)


 * A man (James Smith) fractured his leg after falling from a ladder. The doctor who examined him insisted his leg was stiff so instead of immobilizing it he prescribed exercises which exasperated the injury. The x-rays proved that there was a fracture in the leg. The defense in court objected to the x-rays saying it was 'testimony of a ghost'. It was case #24159 in District Court of Arapahoe County (now Denver). The reference "The Story of the First Roentgen Evidence” by Stanford Withers goes into more detail but is unfortunately behind a paywall. BaomoVW (talk) 17:32, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * That is fascinating information and exactly what I came here to find out; thank you! Would it be possible to add this context to the article? ~ Mable ( chat ) 18:00, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I added the details to the article. BaomoVW (talk) 22:27, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
