Legal question concerning operation of C-arm fluoroscopy

By

Apologies if I’m posting in the wrong sub, but I’m wondering what kind of penalties would come of a surgical technologist (not radiological tech) who is not credentialed in radiology, operated a c arm and shot x rays on a patient before a surgical case because of being impatient. The nurse and the surgical tech were not wearing lead either. I was in the room but was protected with lead. It’s concerning to me because this tech thinks it’s okay to overstep her scope of practice.

This is in Minnesota. And I’m curious if there are any malpractice penalties or anything concerning patient safety too.

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/
