What made you choose this career? How long have you been working as a rad tech? Do you do x-ray or do you specialize in other modalities? If you could go back in time would you choose this career again? Do you see a lot of trauma? Are you helping with a lot of surgeries (c-arm)? Do you feel it's a stressful job or is it a good work/life balance? Any thing else you want to say to someone considering this as a career.
(I'm also considering medical assistant. The rad techs I'm shadowing have all encouraged me to pursue the career and not do medical assisting because the pay is not great with medical assisting and other factors. Im concerned with rad tech that I haven't seen enough surgery or trauma during my shadowing hours and what if I end up not being able to handle that stuff or the gross factor of lots of stuff. I've mainly seen outpatient elderly patients lots of hips and knees and spines. I've seen one code blue where the pt didn't make it and one lacerated finger, thats it in terms of ER stuff.) Thanks for your responses!!
