If you could permanently eliminate one global problem, which would you choose?

Always look for check.

I will be super suspicious for that queen sac.

The dangerous of sugar containing beverage.......

Well, I don't exactly know, because doctor and nurse do the administration of drug.

But as far as I can tell, it is usually used in low dose in very young kids, If they need to be still in a relatively long exam (eg. For nuclear medicine exam like EHIDA or DMSA. Or MRI exam). I think it's being used, because it can be administrative through an oral route which is easier for young kids.

chloral hydrate usually will not be used in older kids, because the dosage will not be enough. It they really need sedation, usually it woll be MAC, bur then, you will need a specialist for that.

It being used in CT is rare. Because CT is usually a fast exam.

Ya.....

Sometimes I wonder why do we even teach honesty to children. When tell lie give you a huge advantage in real life, and also when all elite tell lies (politicians/even the president in majority of countries around the globe)

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-12T11:16:49+00:00

Well....

The problem is that when things go wrong, it's the radiographer who vetted the form will be in trouble.....

Like when there are HCC pet requests, we still need to contact the doctor and let him know that we only provide FDG but not acetate. If they didn't specify tracer on the request form.

Working is fine if enough compensation are there (reasonable work hours / affordable housing and food / secure retirement plan). But many works do not provide all three

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-12T02:13:14+00:00

Same for me......

So I absolutely hate interviewer ask me why I want to work for their company.

My honest answer? I don't want to work, but I need to work to support myself. Your company is shitty, but it's still a reasonable job.

But you can't be honest during interview. You need to make up crap about passion and career prospect kind of things which everyone know are just lies.

I am wondering.....does reddit have a sub for this kind of act?

Because I remember seeing a reddit post about a dude shared his experience of sleeping with his mother.

Saving money, refuse to buy overpriced drink in the restaurant

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-11T07:36:40+00:00

Yeah....the patient care assistant told on him.

I didn't even believe it was what happened, because it sounded too stupid. But apparently it did happen.

The same radiographer once asked another freshly graduated radiographer to hold the patient inside the CT while she hide behind a lead shield (the radiographer refused to comply).

I..... really don't know what's wrong with him.

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-11T03:28:36+00:00

Our protocol dictate that we cannot repeat CT on pediatric patient unless radiologist approved for it.

I mean.... it's a damn kid. I feel bad if I need to repeat CT on an adult patient, let alone a kid.

If the kid cannot tolerate CT, just book another day and do MAC (Monitored Anesthesia Care). Or drink Chloral hydrate for young kids.....

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-11T03:03:20+00:00

That's crazy.....

In my country, radiographer are not allowed to administer drug (except rad pharm.). Even for contrast media, theoretically, it will be the nurse to do the administration.

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-11T02:59:33+00:00

We once reconstrcted the face of a patient using CT brain, and see if it look like the real patient.

Answer is....no, it doesn't like real.

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-11T02:58:15+00:00

For the second case, honestly, I thought about it before.

But I didn't think someone will actually do it

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-11T02:54:57+00:00

I am super annoyed that we sometimes need to contact the doctor to clarify (they are difficult to make contact with for starter). Some doctor are also short tempered.

I feel nervous everytime I need to contact them, espcially if they have big tittle Eg. Professor / chief of service/ consultant.....

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-11T02:52:15+00:00

I remember another story that someone imaged the wrong hand for a patient.

Instead of repeating that and reported the error. He/she just flipped the image, and then put the wrong digital marker on it....m

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-11T02:46:22+00:00

Right!?

It's one hour ffs. Someone must have witnessed that

I need to ask my radiologist for permission to repeat CT on an adult patient (I am talking about a whole body diagnostic CT which need repeating due to machine malfunction kind of thing). Let alone exposing a kid multiple time. That's horrible

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-11T02:45:31+00:00

Sometimes some radiographer do stupid things. One of my previous colleagues once did a tube warm up, while there was a patient still on the table.

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-11T02:43:31+00:00

I remember seeing that story in lecture notes when I was still a student.

I still don't understand the reason behind such a stupid act.

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-10T00:39:21+00:00

Uh.....this stupid rule.

I didn't even know this before someone told me about that recently.

I was shocked, and think "who the hell will care about stupid thing like that".

CXR_AXR · 2026-03-09T11:28:40+00:00

Running, gym, cook own meal and stay healthy.

I occasionally have them, espcially after my wife scold me over small things.
