You haven't studied sonograms. I have.
From E! Online/Yahoo:
First the American Psychiatric Association slammed [Tom Cruise] for referring to psychiatry as a "pseudoscience," calling Cruise's remarks "irresponsible." Now the American College of Radiology is up in arms over Cruise's admission that he purchased a sonogram machine and uses it to perform at-home ultrasounds on fiancee Katie Holmes.
The ACR issued a statement warning that Cruise and Holmes could potentially harm their unborn baby by performing ultrasounds without the benefit of a doctor's supervision....
According to the Food and Drug Administration, the actor may even be violating the law by possessing the device.
"Persons who promote, sell or lease ultrasound equipment for making 'keepsake' fetal videos should know that FDA views this as an unapproved use of a medical device," the FDA stated. "In addition, those who subject individuals to ultrasound exposure using a diagnostic ultrasound device (a prescription device) without a physician's order may be in violation of state or local laws or regulations regarding use of a prescription medical device."
And here's another whopper. I knew about Randy "Duke" Cunningham's problems, but I didn't know about the single degree of separation between Cunningham and Cruise:
THE navy pilot who inspired Tom Cruise's movie Top Gun faces up to 10 years in jail after admitting taking $3.2 million in bribes.
Former navy pilot and Californian congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham resigned from politics yesterday after confessing to taking the money from a defence contractor which won $219 million in US government contracts.
Cunningham, a decorated Vietnam pilot and director of the US Navy's elite Top Gun fighter pilot school, cried after pleading guilty to fraud, conspiracy to commit bribery and tax evasion....
