They still have you wear that lead apron at the doctor. That's what this person did, took x-rays to find shrapnel, bullets and to assist in treatment of fractures
Shrapnel showed up very clearly even in early x-ray technology. They wanted to make sure there were no pieces still in the patient.

Can’t be French, they didn’t wear chevrons like that. Looks English, but in France maybe

Can confirm. I'm a radiographer, the staff in my department wear lead (although nothing like what this radiographer in the picture was wearing) for 8-10 hours a day. It's pretty heavy and annoying, but over decades of working around radiation for hours on end, it will probably end up saving our lives.

I especially like the floppy puppy ears. What purpose did those serve, the better to hear you with?

Still sketches me out that y’all wear all that and I’m sitting there in a hospital gown. Like logically I get it, I’m being exposed once and you are there all day 5 days a week, but my lizard brain is like “something ain’t right here.”

Got dental x-rays at the school downtown. Forget if there was a reason or if the student just goofed the order of operations, but the student got me and the xray machine situated then grabbed the lead apron I was supposed to wear. And I wasn't feeling squeamish about it, so I was cool with him just laying it across my torso.
But when he ducked around the corner to stand in an x-ray proof box and the damn apron was sliding off my chest I did my best to grab on to it and keep it over my vital organs.
