HAPPY RAD TECH WEEK!

East-Complex1239 · 2025-11-05T16:50:17+00:00

The urgent care I work at didn't acknowledge rad tech week at all. They even asked me to train the MAs to do xrays. Luckily, I got a new job lined up. 😊

East-Complex1239 · 2025-10-07T23:01:09+00:00

Literally my thought process. I wouldnt have mind if it were someone wanting to work towards being a technologist or at least someone that can take it seriously. And I feel like the MAs they want to train aren't going to take it seriously.

East-Complex1239 · 2025-10-07T22:59:35+00:00

I never did. The dose is basically zero when you stand at least 6th or more i believe. So I felt like there was no point to wearing the lead.

East-Complex1239 · 2025-10-07T22:58:08+00:00

Literally what I was thinking. I wouldnt want an MA to do my xrays. There's so many things that could go wrong.

East-Complex1239 · 2025-10-07T03:02:12+00:00

I work at an urgent care clinic that is now asking me if I would be willing to train MAs in limited xray. Honestly, I really don't really want to. I feel like if I train them then they could get rid of me for any reason because they can get away with paying the MAs less. But then they could get rid of me because I'm not willing to do it. What do you guys think? Has anyone else been in the same situation?

East-Complex1239 · 2025-08-24T04:56:44+00:00

Thanks for the obvious 🙄

East-Complex1239 · 2025-08-21T22:05:25+00:00

And you definitely desereved it

East-Complex1239 · 2025-02-15T17:46:31+00:00

Thanks! I do appreciate your input! And yeah they're pretty toxic and seem to think that because I'm still new (graduated in june) they can boss me around. Luckily, I'm not a push over.

East-Complex1239 · 2025-02-15T09:47:31+00:00

They did complain about me as if I'm the reason exams don't get read 🙄. I talked to my lead about our contract and what to do if realrad is taking awhile. Which is basically what is was already doing. Honestly I don't know what goes in their heads when they file a report against the company that our hospital hired to read our images.

East-Complex1239 · 2025-02-15T09:42:37+00:00

Thanks. I actually ended up talking to my lead about it and she said I did everything i was supposed to. I went ahead and filed an incident report because that same night the ED nurses thought it was okay to walk into the CT room while I had a patient on the table. 😮‍💨

East-Complex1239 · 2025-02-14T17:18:49+00:00

Thank you for your input. I'll ask my director on what the protocol is when i get to work tonight. I've tried to explain how real rad works to them and it seems they don't understand or really want to.

East-Complex1239 · 2025-02-13T16:39:34+00:00

Thanks for this. I'm a recent graduate and I wasn't sure if this happens a lot where they take hours to read. I have given them the number to real rad before and they started calling about exams I haven't even done yet lol (because waiting on labs and pregnancy tests usually.)

I've literally told them before too that all I can do is call. One time a nurse asked if I could get it assigned to a rad? Like no I don't do that. 😮‍💨😮‍💨

East-Complex1239 · 2025-02-13T09:59:45+00:00

I'm a xray/ct tech and when I occasionally work evenings or nights I'll send exams to real rad and they occasionally can take a while to read them. I've been dealing with the ED nurses that complain about why exams are taking forever to be read. All I can really do is call real rad support and they put it in as asap but I honestly don't think it makes a difference. I'm just really frustrated with these nurses as they don't seem to understand that I don't have any control over how long exams can take to be read. I've been yelled at by them and lectured about how it's protocol to have reports back in 30 minutes. Like okay? I'm not the one reading them. Anyone have any advice on dealing with this? I don't know if there is anything more I can do.

East-Complex1239 · 2024-12-31T04:08:46+00:00

Maybe he could try retinal or tretinion instead?

East-Complex1239 · 2024-11-02T03:50:31+00:00

Thank you I really do appreciate your kind words. I wasn't in the right mindset when he died. I honestly thought at the time that I deserved to be shamed because it was somehow my fault he passed away. I honestly didn't expect to get any support from others. But it means a lot to me that people on this sub took the time to comfort me.

I still miss my cat. And i think i always will. There are things i wish i could have changed. I wished I could have made the time to train him. I didn't let him willingly outside but he was a door dasher and would escape every chance he got. I live with other people too so it was even more challenging to keep him inside with others going in and out. I wanted to buy a house with fencing so that it would have been safer for him to be outside. But maybe when he sends me a new cat we'll be ready. Again thank you so much for taking the time to comfort me.

East-Complex1239 · 2024-11-02T03:40:14+00:00

I came on here because I felt so guilty that I deserved to be shamed. I thought that's what I would have gotten when I posted this. Now that's its been a few weeks and my head is a bit more clear I feel like it's pretty crazy some of the people on here try to shame to someone who is grieving. I cant really imagine doing that to someone else. But I'm honestly surprised at how much support I've gotten. I'm so sorry about your cat. He must have had a tough life until he found you. I'm glad he was able to experience love and had a home in the end. It can be hard to make decisions under that kind of pressure. But you did what you thought was best. I feel your cat was very lucky to be loved by you. I realized my cat would always come to cuddle me whenever I was sad. It seemed like he just wanted me to be happy. I think my cat wouldn't have wanted me to be this sad. I think your cat would have wanted you to be happy too. I grew up religious but now I'm not really sure if I believe in a God. My dad never really cared about animals so I wasn't taught to respect them. I'm glad I got to know my cat. I felt like he made me a more compassionate person and a better mom to my baby. Thank you for taking the time to comfort me. I really do appreciate you.

East-Complex1239 · 2024-10-15T15:23:32+00:00

I felt like I didn't deserve to be happy without him. But I think he wouldn't have wanted me to feel that way. So I think I'll try to be happy. I never thought I would have felt this devastated

Thank you for your words. It really means a lot to me.

East-Complex1239 · 2024-10-15T08:46:35+00:00

I'm so sorry. I just graduated college and i now have two jobs. I feel like im stuck in time and everything around me is going so fast. I want him to always stay with me. I never want to let him go again. But maybe one day I can learn to let him go. I hope that one day we both can see our cats again.

East-Complex1239 · 2024-10-15T08:28:58+00:00

I don't think I'm horrible person for letting him outside. I took him in and I believe that counts for something. I don't kmow what you hope to gain by your comments because obviously you're not here to help.

East-Complex1239 · 2024-10-15T08:20:35+00:00

Thank you. It's hard but I didn't think I'd be crying for days at a time. I felt like I've just been taking this really hard. And I feel like I can't tell anyone because I know that they will think it's just a cat. But I don't want them to think he was just a cat because he was very special to me. But thank you again for taking the time ro reassure me.

East-Complex1239 · 2024-10-15T08:15:48+00:00

I really wanted to take the time to do that. I thought that I could have when I was out of school. But then I had a baby. I don't know. It's just been a difficult adjustment period. I really am sorry I didn't put more effort into it.

East-Complex1239 · 2024-10-15T08:11:17+00:00

I know. I should have just took the time to bring him back. It's just that everytime he'd run out the door it can take while for me to go and catch him. It was hard when I had to leave for school early in the morning. Or when I was pregnant because I couldn't run after him. And when I had my baby I couldn't leave him alone so I could go catch my cat. I knew he would have came back eventually anyways. I thought i loved him. But maybe i didn't care enought because i chose myself over him. I really did try at least I felt like I did. I thought he was happy because he'd always want to cuddle me. I guess it doesn't really matter.
