Plus size rad tech student

Hey everyone! I'm currently a 2nd year student in a rad tech program and about to enter semester 3 very soon. Wanted to vent about something that is the cause of like 60% of my anxiety about radiography school. My hospital does not have a diverse range of lead apron sizes, and bigger sized stocked surgical scrubs. Every time I am scheduled to be in Fluoroscopy I have tremendous anxiety about whether or not I will be able to find a lead apron that fits me correctly that day. And when I go to surgery, I have to specifically ask my instructor to get me bigger sized scrubs than what are stocked in our department. Has anyone else run into this issue? I am plus sized but also feel like a hospital should be able to accommodate everyone in the program especially with the lead aprons. I've considered buying my own, but they are like $500 :( And I also know for a fact that there are people who are my size who have worked in the department before and will be some who come after me as well. Thoughts?

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
