 It's December 22nd, 1895. Less than two months before, Professor Willem Roentgen discovered x-rays by accident. Months later, he discovered a new use for x-rays that would change the course of history. Roentgen took an x-ray of his wife's hand. This was the very first x-ray of a human body part and showcased how x-rays could be useful in the medical field. And American Fences was there.
