Hospitals, operations and serious illness, sentence 18

A scan looks inside the body; "just to be on the safe side" means the doctor is being careful, and most scans find nothing serious.

Who acts: scan, doctor, most scans · What happens: look, be, mean, find · To what, where: safe side, nothing · Speech: someone speaks here
