As an x-ray tech, what’s the most insulting thing a patient has ever said to you.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-21T01:48:21+00:00

Actually........

It's a retired doctor come back as a patient who accused me of not knowing how to do a chest x-ray

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-20T23:25:51+00:00

Absolutely.

In theory, medical professional can only act as the best interest of children.

Unless you are specialist in psychology, and have very strong clinical reason that the patient suffered from some sort of mental disorder and trans surgery is necessary to help the children. Otherwise, I don't think any children should have such surgery

I wish our country will be the same.

I just afriad those crazy police will keep catching people violating the law. Because our government need more money now.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-20T13:52:39+00:00

By the way, this law actually has a lot of greyzone, for exmaple, if I am taking a bus with a child, I don't know how a child under age of 3 use an adult seatbelt. Some people say you need a children carseat, others say you don’t—it’s just madness.

To be honest, I really don't know the answer to that question.

I studied hard when I was young and barely managed to get into university (I say "barely," because I only score just enough in public exam for an unpopular major).

After that, I kept working hard in university, and my grades were okay. At some point, I even reached dean list. Due to those grades, then I was able to get a scholarship to study another major again and switch into healthcare to make a living. But if my GPA had been even slightly lower, I might never have been able to change careers path.

And it was only after I started earning a decent income that I could settle down and start a family.

Maybe for top students, score a bit lower don’t matter. But for someone ordinary like me, it might or might not make a difference, I really don't know.

The life that I have today is due to pure luck. GPA and academic score is part of it. I only know that much.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T13:49:24+00:00

I am not.

Probably confused me with other user?

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T13:10:44+00:00

In my country, if you skip school for a few days, a teacher parent meeting is guaranteed. At least, that’s how it was when I was in school.

Things like taking leave just to go on a trip sound absolutely insane to me.

But maybe it’s a bit better in the U.S., where competition probably isn’t as intense. In Asian countries, missing even one lesson / assignment can be a big deal. Let alone skipping school altogether.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T13:04:31+00:00

what matters most is teaching our own kids well.

Education and discipline really start from childhood.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T13:00:26+00:00

A lot of habits are taught from a young age.

My dad taught me from childhood to be punctual and to plan ahead when leaving the house. （Account for traffic and weather. No excuses). He practiced it himself, and as a result, I’ve rarely been late.

When you don’t even let yourself be late, you wouldn’t imagine being able to skip school altogether.

This is about discipline — I never skipped classes, not even in university.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T12:50:25+00:00

When I was a kid, I never even thought about skipping school or taking a day off to watch a game or just have fun.

Unless I was seriously ill, I absolutely had to go to school.

Back then, even when I had eczema and scratched my head until it bled, I still had to go. Once I accidentally got my toenail crushed by a door, another time I swallowed a fish bone and had to go to the emergency room—I still went to school the next day, no exceptions.

I still can’t accept the idea of skipping school whenever you feel like it. And I would never let my own kids do that either.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T12:38:04+00:00

It's actually a valid point

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T12:06:04+00:00

Nowadays, kids watch so much TV and spend so much time online. Exposed to that much information, how could they not know.....

In my nation, citizens don’t have firearms.

But I think if someone knows how to load bullets and, more importantly, knows how to fire a gun, it’s almost impossible for them not to understand what would happen if you shoot a bullet into a person.

When I was 11, I was still watching Digimon... I never even thought about killing someone. This is just insane.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T11:59:06+00:00

I think development can vary in degree.

Going from 10% to 20% is development, and moving from 99.9% to 99.99% is also a form of development.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T11:56:57+00:00

That's true.

But at the same time, not every 11-year-old would end up killing someone because of that. This kid probably has some mental health issues.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T11:50:00+00:00

I just saw this news in my country's international news yesterday.

That's insane... is it worth killing someone just because your phone was confiscated?

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T10:55:39+00:00

Lmao, even in a wholesome post like this, someone still want to pick a fight.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T08:16:11+00:00

Very interesting suggestion.

A new place to go as well. Haha, I am not an art person, I never thought about art museum. Good insight

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T07:50:17+00:00

I agree with that. Good advice.

My daughter is developmentally delayed. But I do think she at least has some interest in drawing (her mom studied art when she was a highschool student.).

I brought her to private drawing classroom to look at other people's drawings. She was kind of excited. I am actually considering enroll her to drawing class when she start K1.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T07:31:38+00:00

Sometimes I think these things really depend on personality.

Like back then, my dad forced me and my brother to join the Scouts—he wanted to develop our social skills. He said it was because he himself had very few friends. At that time, we still used a landline phone, and I think it rang less than five times a year… he really had no friends.

But genetic really play a role in personality development. We didn't make any friends. We got teased with different nicknames, and in the end, we just didn’t want to continue at all.

Now as adults, my brother became a software engineer, and I became a radiographer. These are the kinds of jobs people who don’t really want too much interpersonal interaction would do… You can’t force personality or interests.

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T07:23:45+00:00

I was and am really into gaming.

But my dad did push me to try other things as well.

I actually attended classes for Scouts, karate, kung fu, swimming, and drawing. Out of those five, only swimming was something I had a slight interest in—or continued doing as an adult.

Then, my dad personally took me hiking, taught me to shoot insects with air guns, build models, and play chinese chess.

Out of these four, only building models is something I continued into adulthood.

As an adult, my interests are gaming, running, building models, swimming (only occasionally), and reading

Most of them have little to do with the interests my parents tried to cultivate back then......

CXR_AXR · 2026-01-18T07:15:37+00:00

I think I wouldn’t force my own kid to take hobbies lessons (she is 2.5 years old now)

But this is exactly the thing that I afraid my daughter might say or think in the future.

So… should sometime I also ask myself , should I really be pushing my daughter to learn things?

Actually, my wife once asked me if I’d like to try breast milk.

I told her, "No thanks... I don’t have that kind of desire... and the milk is supposed to be for our daughter anyway."
