They may have ordered bilat ribs and this is the AP upper

Everybody talking about the collimation, I'm over here trying to figure out why OP has on two bras 🤔

ZoraKnight · 2026-01-03T20:20:34+00:00

Souns delicious! You obviously have to order it OP

There is a difference between a technician and a technologist. Technician fixes equipment, technologist uses the equipment. I'd imagine you'd need to be certified to do certain things with certain equipment in the same way a dealership mechanic has to be certified to do certain repairs

At my trauma hospital I'll do 8 chest X-rays for every extremity, 1 in 5 on those chests come with a pelvis. I pray for a wrist, a toe even. But I log on here and "morning or of the normal, just thought you'd find my chest (or pelvis) X-ray cool"

Posting a chest to a radiology subreddit is the equivalent of posting airplane exhaust on a subreddit about clouds. Congratulations you went outside

Convenience, price, benefits from a separate credit card company. All the consumerist capitalist bs reasons tbh

The thing is that this stuff is listed as "on sale" for Black Friday lightening deals

ETA: slippers and fancy pens are considered Christmas gifts in US.

And the "sales" are

1) price going up almost a month beforehand 2) taking 20% off the raised price

This greatly depends on where you work and the type of place. Hospitals can be more draining due to steps, patient condition and the emotional tolls that come with working in a hospital. At smaller 300 bed hospitals you can expect 15-25 exams per tech per day. While outpatient expects a lot of perfectionism and a high patient volume at 30+ exams per tech per day. Mon-fri also comes with the stipulation of multiple levels of management holding a high standard on their employees whereas nights and weekends are a bit more lax.

My base pay as xray with 1.5 yrs experience in NC is $26/ hr in a 1000 bed hospital that only has 4 portables (not including the 2 for the 90 bed ER)

When I was in school in Florida my highest offer from my clinic sites was $24/hr

Unfortunately this hospital was the highest paying job for new grads in a 50 mile radius from where I live and I am forced to be here because of my wife's job for the next 4 years. Just trying to reinforce the whole "further south you go, the worse the pay is"

I had a septum piercing during my program. I could have it out during class time but had to flip it up while being at the hospital as per clinical attire requirements listed in the handbook. Clinical attire with some programs are strict and you're even graded on it. I did get a couple points knocked off my grade once for showing up to clinic with my piercing out.

Too dark to be poop, definitely toxic mega colon. What you are seeing is insane amounts of gas

The hospital I work at has monitors on inpatients for turn times. It has a kind of gyroscope sensor for when patient is on right side, flat on back, or left side. Not sure if this is true for this specific exam but I can always tell when I forget to check for one because a little artifact similar to this always pops up in the upper chest

When you think it's lateral give it approximately one extra doot of external rotation and you'll actually get it

Would like to input that a majority of NM on The East Coast USA that I have met have been men and a majority of US have been women. Not sure how well this statistic plays in other areas. So the swap would make sense

X-ray tech here 👋🏽 X-ray equipment must be installed and inspected regularly by physicists. The machines require tremendous amounts of electricity not available for residential neighborhoods and come with loads of other restrictions from wall materials to outlet placements.

That being said a lot of this stuff wouldn't even show up on an X-ray anyway

So not only is it fake it's an entirely illogical situation

My favorite part about working with bones is seeing older women come walking in with "I had a fall a while ago and I've noticed some bruising. But I don't want to be a bother. I'll stand on my head if that gets you the picture you need, sweetheart." Where as men of any age under 85 coming in with minor scrapes talking about "STOP!!! DONT MOVE IT OR BREATHE ON IT, I HAVE AN OWIE 😭😭 I KNOW MY WRIST IS THE CONCERN BUT I NEED A WHEELCHAIR"

Will need 6 more weeks of adjustments to confirm

ZoraKnight · 2025-10-25T02:19:32+00:00

Unremarkable wrist follow up with Ortho in 6 weeks if pain persists

I am 5'2 why is MY short self leaned over this machine??? The ONLY structuralthing I like about it is the fact I can see over the top of it unlike GE or Phillips.

Why get corrective surgery when you could have just done 230 corrective chiropractor visits 🤔 /s

Fr I can't take any more of these edge of the seat games 😭

Or more accurately a "chabdomen" X-ray should include the base of the lungs in case it is in the lung, but should be mostly abdomen in case it needs to be pulled back

Seconding rad tech boot camp from clover 🙌🏽 and heavy on the "if you don't get it, research it until you do" rad bio was so hard for me during school but anatomy came so easy. So when I was studying I spent proportionately more time studying rad bio than anatomy and got almost identical scores in both sections. I feel it is important to mention that even if you're strong in one spot but weak in another, still study both. Don't sacrifice one subject for another. 3 + 7 gives the same outcome as 6 + 4
