I was just curious as to why some departments do chest x-rays as part of the medical exam?? What do they expect to find?

I asked when I did mine. They specifically mentioned to check for TB. They also said they want a baseline of your physiology prior to being hired in case something happens they can determine if it was before or after you were hired. That way they can compare future chest xrays.

I don't know what they "expect" to find, but they're looking for any abnormality.
Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine

TB, Lung deformities/disorders, Previous rib injuries...all to compare against future claims of injuries!
