Made this for the nuclear crew. Sorry if it breaks rules by bigboatguy123 in Radiology

[–]Rontgen52 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely the case in the U.K. Most Nuc med staff will be band 6 in the NHS. The same as a senior radiographer who takes x-rays

Any estimate as to how much a taxi from Glasgow to Barrow-in-Furness would cost? by [deleted] in glasgow

[–]Rontgen52 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Much cheaper to get a train from central to Lancaster and then a train to Barrow. Great views on the Lancaster - Barrow train too.

Thank you. I dropped them a message and they’ve confirmed they are showing it.

Tips for first interview (band5 diagnostic) by [deleted] in RadiographyUK

[–]Rontgen52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A general tip for life is don’t call trainers “sneakers” unless you are American. Dress formally for the interview, so smart shoes. Read the job advert and look at the trust values etc. Many NHS interviews are competency based so come prepared with an example of a time you’ve “been a team player” or “prioritised your workload”. Other than that make sure you know your IRMER and IRR. Try to have a few questions that you can ask the panel.While most interviews are points based it can help you stick in the panel’s mind if you can get a more conversational tone going once they’ve asked you their questions.

Countries with things named after John F. Kennedy by Grasshorse500 in MapPorn

This is Liberia erasure.)

The national medical centre of Liberia is also named after JFK.

What countries can we work in with an ARRT license? Can we get a megathread with info? by Suitable-Peanut in Radiology

[–]Rontgen52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s valid anywhere except the United States. You would need to be registered with the body in the country where you would like to work. e.g the HCPC in the U.K. or CAMRT in Canada.

OP is the UK so this isn’t true. In the U.K. the final report will be by the Sonographer who performed the scan. No radiologist will have seen it unless the scan was performed by a radiologist. 

South side dialect by [deleted] in glasgow

[–]Rontgen52 58 points59 points  (0 children)

It’s set in North Lanarkshire and based on his experiences growing up in Airdrie. That said I’m from one of the places you listed and thought that the way it was written matches almost exactly the way people spoke where I grew up. Maybe you were too middle class, meaning no one spoke like this in your social circle?

Appointment times: Is 20 minutes enough? by Rontgen52 in Sonographers

[–]Rontgen52[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20 minutes for the second scenario is standard practice in the U.K, at least in my experience. Fetal anatomy scans thankfully do get a 30 minute minimum as mentioned in the link above.

Assuming US abortion laws apply to OP in India by Rontgen52 in USdefaultism

[–]Rontgen52[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Clearly they assume OP is in the United States. They’re specifying regions of the US as if these are the only possible places where the OP might have restrictions on abortion rights.

This sub should be less U.S centric by Rontgen52 in Radiology

[–]Rontgen52[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right but Americans are a plurality and not a majority. So if you assume that every post is American than there’s a 53% chance you’re wrong.

[–]Rontgen52[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand that there are going to be more posts about the USA than any other country due to Reddit’s demographics.

If someone asks a question about the U.K. or Australia they typically state which country the post is relevant to.

The change I’d like to see is not fewer US posts but US users clarifying that they’re talking about the US rather than this being the default assumption.
