I'm also a little disturbed by the x-ray technician. Are patients really so full of shit that often that it's normal to ignore what the patient says is obviously the wrong foot? I had a similar experience when my work required I have a very thorough medical examination including a Tuberculosis test. I was pumped full of massive amounts of the vaccine as a kid because I grew up in a third-world country, so the skin test would give a false positive. I told the doctor, they asked if I had ever had a positive result, and I said no because they always go straight to the chest x-ray. So they insisted I do a skin test first. My elbow swelled up like crazy, the nurse and the doctor freaked out and sent me to an infectious disease specialist. The freaking specialist still didn't want to see my vaccine records - she said I should have a chest x-ray and start strong antibiotics immediately. Chest x-ray came back clean. "Mysteriously", as the doctor said, I did not in fact have tuberculosis. It was like they were all deaf while I was explaining how many times I had been vaccinated, so OF COURSE it shouldn't have been a surprise that my blood was still loaded with anti-bodies.
