I have all of you guys beat:

We get all sorts of students (nurses, radiographers, medical students) that come around to the operating theatres with their little white caps, to be shown around. They are full of wonder and often look amazing in those theatre outfits. They tag along, too scared to step out of line, but keen to impress.
And then there was the time that I X-rayed 20 new female radiography sudents (chest X-rays)...help me Mabel  !!!

Actually, there was an interesting little meeting to do with chest X-rays when I was a first year student. We all had chest X-rays upon starting the training (they want to exclude TB and any pathology that could be dangerous to yourself or a patient).

A few weeks later, we were called to a meeting by the third year students, after hours, in their residence block. Myself and another guy called Justin were the only two males in all three years of radiography students (2 guys, 54 girls), so we were the ones who were keen to impress. Anyway, this meeting turned out to be an initiation ceremony, full of complex challenges, some of which I can't discuss here. But this was a classic: they (the 3rd year students) had got out a whole bunch of chest X-rays from the reject bin and they had them there in a pile.
"Sit down," they told us, we have something we want to discuss about your chest X-rays.
They then asked straight away "Which of you girls are virgins? And you mustn't try to lie because we have your chest X-rays here and we can tell."

(and they held them up for us to see)
Of course when you're a first year student you don't know anything about X-rays, they could show you an X-ray of a frozen turkey and tell you that's your abdomen and you wouldn't know diddly.
Yup, our female colleagues then blurted out one by one whether they were virgins or not, some of them blushing like crazy.  And then they were told "Thanks for the info, but we couldn't really tell. You've learned your first lesson about X-rays.."
Of course we the two guys were immune from that questioning, but not immune from storing the answers to those questions in our memory banks
