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/

Radiology program

By
I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
