For mods wondering this is about xray radiation safety im not asking for medical help or diagnosis! Got a warning before posting

I had a foot xray done at a podiatry office, I drew a rough map for the layout, the xray machine is the yellow x

The clinic was small

There was a door to a patient room open directly behind me I forgot to draw that was so close I had to partially back into it while she inserted a vertical board in the base for more xrays

Anyone can walk by, that room is just a small, slightly wider space than the hallway to accommodate most of that end being doors to patient exam and care rooms

Also,

Why did the woman giving the xray put a lead vest on me then stand right next to me (in scrubs) while she takes the xrays, close enough to be brushing my knuckles on the handlebars with her side??

Was that... legal?

It was 100% an xray machine, looked kinda like an X-CEL 715-BD Podiatry system with ADA Compliant Base (thanks google images)
