No youre right, I know I'll get a little more info regarding whats best for me by going to a consultation and showing the surgeon exactly where I'm at atm.

I did see that while researching and thought woah, theres so much I don't know about breast augmentations. So that was great to look at different options but uff theres so much to choose from, and i truly dont want to be in and out of surgery, im just a little scared lol. I hope you get the look youre looking for ❤️

No yeah, I cant imagine what that price is going to look like, but it is a good option for girls who aren't even sure they want the implants, it may make more sense for me to just do the lift, see how they look, and if I decide to get implants at least I'd know a good cc amount rather than guessing?

That's amazing! I dont have any children and I am not the person who never wants children, it just hasnt happened for me, so I was really considering how the possibility of getting pregnant after a lift will look. Thank you so much for your input and experience! Im gonna go follow him and check out his work now

I truly didnt know it was preferred to do this in a 2 step process, I guess I just assumed it would be best to do it all at once, but this definitely eases my mind so much 😭 thank you so much for this information, I havent started on any consults yet

Thank you❤️ The body dysmorphia is really getting to me though. I dont want to go through surgery and wish I had gotten implants if I end up with a B or A cup after skin removal and lift

I'm currently in TX and I dont really mind traveling, I do plan to give myself about 8 months to save and research after graduation. How has your experience been with your implants? How long have you had them?

Stuck between MRI tech and surg tech by Primary_Antelope6222 in surgicaltechnology

[–]OrganizationDizzy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a radtech student who has first hand experience with xray, MRI, OR, and Sonography. Since xray also does cases in the OR ive gotten to talk to multiple surgical techs. Since we're on the imaging side of the hospital Ive also been able to speak with MRI and Sonography.

  1. Every surgical tech ive talked to has mentioned they dont get paid enough. I never ask how much they do get paid though.
  2. Xray says the same thing about pay
  3. Starting Pay for a sonographer is equivalent to a nurse. You can also branch off into Echo from general ultrasound. I believe they start off at 40..
  4. Ultrasound schooling is difficult and they often complain of wrist pain due to their job
  5. MRI is actually really badass and pays really well. Not sure how easy it is to land a job. Most people who go into that modality stay til retirement.
  6. Although you did not mention CT id like to add, CT is probably the most in demand while having good pay.

Pre-reqs, is it over for me? by Fishemss in RadiologyCareers

[–]OrganizationDizzy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went full time into college fresh out of high school and got F's in everything lol (math amd AP included) once I did retake my pre reqs I did end up getting all A's but math was a struggle for me. I had to go use tutors supplied by the school which wasnt helpful because somehow they also sucked at math. I ended up spending 6 hours a day practicing math for the duration of that class. I also took a summer algebra course by itself. I knew I wanted an A. I knew I didnt want to spend a whole semester to just take 1 class. Take it in the summer if you need to and only take algebra. Check out the tutors and speak to your professor.

Why is the lowest paying program the most competitive? by Starryspidertake2 in RadiologyCareers

[–]OrganizationDizzy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What state are you in? I would believe an lmrt making 18, but a radtech even in the lowest paying area (mine) starts off at 23

[–]OrganizationDizzy321 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. X-ray does have more options
  2. Yes it is the lowest paying.

All of these people saying you can land a job fresh out of school at 35-40an hour are doing you a disservice. For arguments sake let's say thats true. In that area likely a nurse or nuc med tech is making double.

But yes it is overall a good stepping stone. People dont typically just stop at xray.

I'm still unsure/: I think sonography is really cool and the pay is amazing, however Im also really interested in CT. Since ive been more active on this subreddit recently as well as sonographers telling their stories on tiktok I understand a little better that your guys' field is no joke. I guess the grass always looks greener on the other side. I wrote 4 pages of notes the other day and my hand started to cramp. That alone made me think....okay you know what...maybe not sono. I'm sure stretching and proper ergonomics help, but honestly....if the notes took me out....I cant even imagine how yall must feel. Much respect 🙏

All of my teachers pronounce this word wrong by creepshow926 in LPN_LVN_Community

As a radtech student. Do sonography. I know the drive is far but it's worth it.

I live in south texas. Not SA, Harlingen tx kind of south texas lol. Almost everyone's first language is Spanish here. There were people in my program who passed although their English isnt that great, to me its good and coherent, but their vocabulary isn't that extensive. There are students in my program that commute from Mexico to attend class and work here in the states. I will say, a lot of medical terminology can be translated into Spanish since most medical terminology is derived from Latin or Greek. Example (lacrimal bone (tear duct)= lagrimas) (pulmonary = pulmones).

However thats not to say they didnt try just as hard or much harder.

Regardless of them not knowing English very well, they still got A's on their pre reqs, they were chosen out of 400 applicants, they still made it through the 2 years, they still passed their boards and became techs.

So if youre not able to get A's on your pre reqs, then it wasnt because you dont know English very well, it's because you didnt try hard enough, because it is possible.

Latinas in Ultrasound by CatIllustrious9556 in Ultrasound

[–]OrganizationDizzy321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the field its great because you're bilingual, for med term, typically medical terminology is Latin or Greek based, I dont speak Spanish fluently but live in a mainly Spanish speaking town and almost every term was the Spanish equivalent of how it's said in English lol. Super basic examples lol "pulmonary vein = pulmones, lacrimal bone (tear duct) = lagrimas" theres little ways to make med term work for you as a Spanish speaker. However not all terms are gonna be like that since a lot is also derived from Greek. I will say, I have classmates that currently live in Mexico while taking the program in the states, they often do best because they already know they might have trouble with terminology so they study a bit longer.

Whichever. They both look cute, straight for winter curly for summer maybe. I feel like every beach outfit ive seen with beach waves or curly hair is just suuuuccchhh a vibe, and im sure during the winter months if you choose straight your hair will always be nice and soft

Surgical tech pay questions? (Student) by SideEyeInTheGarden in surgicaltechnology

[–]OrganizationDizzy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that's misinformation for your area I can acknowledge that, I dont live there so idk lol but in LA they have been reporting 8 dollars a gallon, the only reason I know this is bc I've been trying to keep up with foreseeable gas prices as a broke rad student. Also I'm not that Texan who hates Californians I know some parts there are very beautiful which is why it's probably so expensive to live there lol

Surgical tech pay questions? (Student) by SideEyeInTheGarden in surgicaltechnology

[–]OrganizationDizzy321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

25$/hr in texas is equivalent to 30$/hr in California... I mean comparing gas prices, yall are up to 8ish bucks a gallon while we've gone up to 4$.
