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.

Onetonline salary search change?

By
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

By
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/
