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?

AI for radiology - A survey

By
Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
