Frustrated With CT Students Rant

As a CT tech I’ve been frustrated with CT students the last few years. They mostly take classes online so when they come to clinicals it seems like we have to teach them everything about anatomy and pathology and scan protocols because they don’t have real teachers or clinical instructors. Then during clinical it’s like they don’t want to do anything except scan. I get that technically that’s what they are comping on but to learn to be a CT tech you also need to go get patients, go over history(allergy, creat, priors, reasons for exam/might need to adjust protocols) start IV’s, learn how to navigate charts for pertinent info, adjust contrast amounts and flows for differing reasons, and on and on and on. Then when we get new grad CT techs it’s like doing it all over again because they have no idea what they’re doing or why they’re doing it. We have to teach new CT techs how to actually be CT techs because all they cared to learn during training was how to start and stop the scanner. I’m just sick of it.

Onetonline salary search change?

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

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/
