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.

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/
