I x-rayed the wrong patient and got fired, how should I talk about it in upcoming interviews?

By

Yeah I’m an idiot. Had a crazy rush in our ED and I slipped up and switched 2 patients in adjacent rooms and didn’t catch it before a rad already made a report, so I got sacked. It was really busy but it’s my screw up; reading a wristband takes 2 seconds. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach the topic in interviews? I would like to not bring it up but I don’t see how it can be avoided if they ask me why I left my previous job. Besides that screw up I think I’m really good at my job otherwise, and am fast at picking up new modalities. I think I can count on a few good references too. I’m hoping if I have to mention it that maybe they’ll believe me that it’s a rare mistake and not a liability. But I was wondering if anyone here has been in a similar spot.

AI for radiology - A survey

By
Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
