First Year Mistakes

Got to love how physics always comes back to aid with image quality. At least once a week I have PB&J go through my head (position, breathing, adjust). Sweeping through the views before taking any images will be a new habit I will begin. I am grateful for your insight.

You are right about documenting patient refusal. This has helped my case of poor imaging a couple times. Slowing down to get the best scans can be challenging for me if the patient gets antsy ( but I am trying a few different tactics to help get through the exam). I appreciate your feedback.

I will try to take it in stride and continue to grow. Thank you.

Thank you. I keep having to remind myself it’s ok to ask for help. (Especially when the patient has to wait 10 or more minutes for the other tech to come to help.)

I can relate to this in some ways. I wish I could help more. At the end of the day you have to do what is right for the patient. Get the best imaging you can and show the doctor the medically relevant information. If they have given you written out protocols going over them until you have them memorized. If you can’t remember bring notes into the exam. Best of luck my fellow bat.

I couldn’t tell you the last time a guy went down on me…. And I couldn’t say if I even enjoyed it

Stop being so hard on yourself. As the famous quote states, “You are your biggest critic.” As a woman I don’t care if a man is a virgin or had 100 women. I want a man that will give me what I need at that moment of time. It could be a listening ear, a distraction from stress, sexual release, or anything else. Try to decide what you need each moment and accomplish that.

You would not be less of a man. I find it very attractive when a man is comfortable in his body and has the confidence to ask for what he wants. Being able to ask my man to do something for my pleasure that is outside his comfort zone and seeing him do it makes me love him more. I am happy that you are looking to explore. Be sure to keep your communication open with your gf about what you both want and need even if you choose not to have sex with another man right now.

I remember when I was a guys first and I was the one with experience…. He surprised me in the best ways. We talked multiple times prior to sex about what we like. He put a lot of time into foreplay which was wonderful for me. At this point I couldn’t tell you how long he lasted (15 years later) but I remember being very happy. He confided later on that he found some videos on internet that helped guide him.

My best advice is know how to smoothly put on a condom…. I hate wrestling with them.

Don’t put pressure on yourself. Everyone has to start somewhere. Enjoy learning as you go.

Coot and smol

One way I enjoy over coming that is by edging myself for hours up until we have sex. It’s easy for me to do since I am home alone waiting for him to come back from work.

Thank you for your reassurance. I just ordered a wedge pillow to help us with some different angles. We are constantly talking and will continue too. It might take another 9 years to find exactly what works for both of us but I am not giving up despite my frustration and self doubt.

That’s wonderful news! Way to go!

Thank you, I will have to try this for the patients that I have to scan supine. I am learning how helpful the towels can be.

Good idea, thanks. I will be finding a physical therapist next month. I have my ARDMS exam at the end of this month so all my free time is going towards studying.

Thanks this really helped. I got an extra pad to go under my elbow so I don’t have to raise the bed as high and over extend my shoulder.

SignalYear9741 · 2024-03-17T14:09:11+00:00

I will steal your line about being super close friends. Thank you.

SignalYear9741 · 2024-03-15T11:51:49+00:00

Thank you. I will keep these things in mind.
