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?
