In the dressing room before an exam...

Me: "Ok maam, I'm going to be doing a couple chest xrays on you so I need you to remove only your shirt and bra and put one of these gowns on with the opening in the back and tie it closed"

Perfectly cognizant younger lady looking horrified: "You don't even have anything for me to cover up with?"

Me: "Put one of these gowns on with the opening in the back and tie it closed, and you'll be covered just fine"

Lady: "But what do I cover up with?"

Me: "This gown, please put it on with the opening in the back so you're covered"

Lady looked even more confused staring at the gown and I shut the curtain and said "let me know if you have any other questions or need a female nurse or anything".

She was in the dressing room for about 4 minutes and I finally asked "you doing ok in there? you ready?". There was a 20 second pause and she says "What do I do again?"

Internal sigh

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

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/

I got into the Rad Tech program!

I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...
