An MRI tech I know is a danger to patients

I know a guy who got fired from multiple MRI travel jobs because he’d always do something…sexually harassed a patient who turned out to be a doctor, fell asleep while a patient was getting an MRI done and blamed it on his phone not waking him up, smoking were, etc. The list goes on.

He’s been reported to ARRT at least 3 times, and somehow he’s always gotten out of it. He’s a legit danger to patients. He told current coworkers that he smokes crystal meth and did an exam without a script. When ARRT contacted his employer, they lied and covered for him.

I just got screenshots of texts he sent 5 years ago, sharing MRI images that had the patient’s name and birthday on there. Those got reported to ARRT, too, but I can’t believe he keeps getting away with everything.

While I’m personally just pissed that he’s never had to own up to his issues, it’s a matter of time before he harasses another patient or does something worse than leaving a patient locked in the MRI room for 30 minutes because he fell asleep.

Does anyone have any advice? He shouldn’t be a tech. Anywhere. He does drugs, more than just pot. But instead of ARRT actually trying to investigate, they just took his employer’s word for it and let it go.

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/
