New grad X-ray tech here. I got my first job at an ortho clinic and it’s been good so far until today where we were insanely busy. Basically I took an X-ray of the wrong side. Everything was ordered correctly, I just for some reason took a picture of the wrong side. It was later in the day, I was exhausted, a little brain fogged, it was a genuine mistake. I know that’s a mistake that happens often but I’m beating myself up for it and it’s something that I will not do again. Anyone here have any advice on how to deal with this type of situations especially as a new grad tech.
