Is this normal behavior for a thyroid biposy?

By

Is it normal during a thyroid biposy for the sanitary paper to be placed on a female patient's abdomen and smoothed out by the radiologist by gliding hands over a breast?

Is it also normal for the radiologist to reach in the female patient's bra and tuck the sanitary paper in the bra? I was wearing the medical gown and a bra on top and fully dressed on the bottom.

I experienced an uncomfortable situation during a thyroid biposy and am unsure how to handle it and on my previous post someone said to comment here and ask about normal behavior during the procedure. I did have one other thyroid biposy five years ago, but did not experience anything like this.

It might be worth mentioning that after the sanitary paper was tucked into my bra I removed the radiologist hands immediately with my hands and started saying something, but was loudly talked over by the radiologist then after was given the shot of lidocaine in my thyroid and was told I couldn't talk or swallow during the procedure. Radiologist rushed out of the room after procedure was over.

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
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 ...

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/
