> and dozens of XRays after minor sport injuries just to be sure

Sorry, but this is hard to believe. The use of XRays for minor injuries is not standard anymore. Not only for cost reasons, but also for the still unclear situation about increased cancer risk due to xrays.

There is a difference between retrospectively determining that an injury is minor and doing so prospectively. It might not have looked all that minor when those tests were made.

Granted "dozens" were a bit too much, it was 10-15 over the course of 5 years.
