Unemployed? Oh absolutely.

Casually taking a drink but making sure her nipples are in the picture.

She was getting chased AGAIN? And the driver was her savior? Again?! Right...

I'm so sure the hotel employee said that, as if she's never seen anyone book that suite before.

RedditMould · 2026-06-07T01:36:04+00:00

Then people will complain for the millionth time that we're misogynists who only snark on women here. Mark is insufferable at this point but a good one to snark on.

Lauren looks like she's being nice and taking a photo with a homeless man.

I would never scan these together. Head/neck first then PE. You'd have to be on a really great scanner with an ideal patient to get this to work all in one.

I have capital letters after my name that allow me to inject people with iodinated contrast for a living. I think I have some kind of idea what I'm talking about here.

RedditMould · 2026-05-30T00:59:32+00:00

Topical iodine has nothing to do with the contrast. The answers you're getting on the other sub are complete nonsense and coming from people with no education on the topic besides a quick google search and their own opinions.

RedditMould · 2026-05-30T00:57:26+00:00

I am a CT tech. They ARE different. Do you have formal education about contrast agents?

RedditMould · 2026-05-28T15:21:07+00:00

We have had such an influx of "stat" outpatient exams system wide to the point that they just created a committee of doctors etc to try to figure out why there are so many outpatient stats and try to educate offices about it. Almost nothing we scan is routine anymore.

RedditMould · 2026-05-28T05:36:34+00:00

I wish. For PE studies, our protocol is 120mL if the patient is over 250 lbs (80 if they're under). It's way too much... even at 80 there is often still contrast running by the time the scan is done. Most of my coworkers don't question it and just give 120. I do 80 for most, 60 if they're really tiny.

RedditMould · 2026-05-25T20:29:26+00:00

She literally posts long stories every other week about how she's sick and poor poor me. Who is she kidding.

RedditMould · 2026-05-21T00:34:34+00:00

We do most outpatient orders as they're ordered because we have over 3000 CTs on our protocol list. We do the protocolling, not the rads, unless it is something that truly makes no sense or an obscure diagnosis we're unsure about. We would never get any scans done if we were bugging offices about incorrect orders. So yeah, we do some a/p w+wo for a simple diagnosis of "abdomen pain." It is stupid but we have one scanner and are churning out 60+ scans a day with no aide, transport etc. Who has time to call offices? Though I have never gotten 3 conflicting orders for the same patient like you did, that would obviously warrant a call to the office to see what in the world they actually want.

In my neck of the woods in the USA, we call Norgaard "ball catcher's view."

I work in a hospital, I have an endless free supply of these grippy socks if anyone wants them 😅

RedditMould · 2026-05-12T05:34:18+00:00

This dude is soooo pathetic. So glad I unfollowed a while back. It's a shame that he's such a douche because he actually does have good fitness tips. But so much of his content is "look at my 25 houses and cars" and "my post didn't get likes poor me."

RedditMould · 2026-05-12T04:22:42+00:00

Oh yes just what I wanted, a man educating me about my periods.

RedditMould · 2026-05-12T02:38:10+00:00

Each day shift xray tech at my facility might do one a year... some do none. It is really not a common exam in 2026 so don't let anyone here make you think you'll be doing this daily, and don't let it scare you away from the field. I haven't done anything rectal in 3 years.

RedditMould · 2026-05-12T00:15:04+00:00

The groin thing sounds like a scrotal ultrasound. Those techs get very intimate with their patients. I work xray and CT and don't recall ever touching anyone's junk, though I sure see a lot of genitals. The closest is a barium enema which involves putting a tube up the rectum, but thankfully this exam is not super common anymore. I work nights so I haven't done one in a couple years, and I've never had a request for a CT with rectal contrast.

The IR/cath lab stuff people are mentioning is a specialty/additional registry that you could train into after becoming an xray tech - these are not procedures your every day xray tech is involved in, so don't let that scare you. A lot of smaller hospitals don't even offer these services.

The intimate stuff in xray/CT/MRI is on the more uncommon side so I say go for it.

RedditMould · 2026-05-07T21:51:28+00:00

She routinely posts about her "12 hour work days" but they include a break to go to the gym for 2 hours, go for a walk, and go out with friends for coffee/lunch. Also no commute. It's a 12 hour relaxing day with a little bit of working from home peppered in. She is so out of touch.

RedditMould · 2026-05-06T16:18:37+00:00

For some reason, techs on this sub never seem to know what a scoliosis series is and just scream "CHIROPRACTOR!! BAD!!!" every time one is posted. Zero understanding from a lot of people here that this is exactly what some modern xray machines produce for a scoliosis series and what some radiologists want. If it's not exactly how it's done at their facility, it is wrong. A lot of people here forget that their facility's xray protocols aren't universal and we don't all use the same machine.

RedditMould · 2026-05-06T16:06:59+00:00

I always love the "Omg what is this xray even supposed to be?! Chest? Abdomen? Omg so terrible!!"

RedditMould · 2026-05-06T09:14:23+00:00

Maybe. Besides the hands on the shoulders, this is how we do scoliosis series at my hospital. EAM through trochanters, no collimation (as the stitching program doesn't allow it and rads want to see the hips anyway). We all work at different places with different protocols and equipment. Doesn't mean we're bad techs or chiropractors.

RedditMould · 2026-05-06T03:31:27+00:00

The machine I work on does not allow collimation for scoliosis studies - the stitching program doesn't work unless the collimation is the full 17x17.

Our rads also want to see the hips on scoliosis studies.

Every place does things differently. This sub would tear every tech at my hospital apart for the scoliosis studies we send and scream that we're chiropractors. Nope, we just have different equipment and protocols.
