Should i get a second opinion?

Should i get a second opinion?

I went to get MRIs of both my lower back and neck the other day due to having back issues for awhile from working with heavy machinery and recently having a bad rear end collision. Well i got hit pretty hard in the back at a red light sitting still while the driver was moving 65 MPH plus and now my back hurts worse than it ever has along with my neck. The Ortho doctor i was sent to is the one the lawyer im using goes to specifically and told me over the phone that he sees slight bulging but nothing surgery wise needed so hes sending me to physical therapy. My cousin who has worked as an ortho radiologist says i have a few discs that look at the very least bulging in my back and neck if not herniated. Just looking for other opinions on whether i should get another doctor to take a look or go along with the physical therapy. Thanks.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...
