Just a quick story of what NOT to do

About 6 years ago (at age 23F) I came into the ER with a sudden, extreme headache. Fortunately they called a stroke code and got me into CT immediately. As I was moved out of the tube, the rad tech said, “I never know how to say this kind of thing… you have a bleed in your brain. Is there anyone you want us to call?” I said, “I don’t know, am I going to die?!” To which he replied, “no… I don’t know. The team will take care of you.”

Needless to say, it was extremely scary and vague for me to hear! Why would my first priority be to call someone? Just stop the bleed!

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/
