Forearm X-Ray for Burns

This poor guy burned his arm pretty badly yesterday. He comes into our ED. The ED doc orders a forearm x-ray. in my 10 years as a tech i've never done x-ray for a burn.

I wanted to ask her what exactly she thought she would see on X-ray but this doc is kind of a bitch. She automatically thinks you're questioning her authority if you ask a question or two about an exam she orders.

Anyone want to chime in with what she was looking for. I googled it and didn't find any where it says to do x-ray for burns.

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/
