dealing with trauma calls

By

Hi, I'm not sure if it's appropriate to post but I'd like some advice from fellow radiographers.

I've been 1 year qualified as a radiographer/tech and would like some advice. The hospital I work for is a major trauma centre. I'm quite numb/desensitised when seeing gore but i went to a trauma call for a pt that was a victim of a hit and run. When they came to resus, their wounds werent covered and they were young. Half of the pt's face was practically scraped off, best way to describe it is twoface from the Dark Knight. We don't really do a debrief (resus does but we were considered transient members) despite suggesting and its been abt a week was and I cannot get that off my head as the doctor wanted a CXR meaning I was standing right next to the pt giving me a front seat view of everything. I tried talking to someone senior they shrugged it off with the "its part of the job" so i was wondering how do you deal with seeing horrific stuff?

Onetonline salary search change?

By
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. Thanks! submitted by /u/xxDamnationxx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/h9oqup/onetonline_salary_search_change/

Question regarding ultrasound

By
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/
