  • awesome I am going into this field!

  • that first patient looked like droopy the dog

  • @WWESUCKSNOW - I've heard from people in the field that there aren't supposed to be too many jobs. The program costs money so that if the field is saturated, it would not be practical to study rad tech right now :)

  • @Jannsmith I don`t think they were referring to getting a job but joining the program to stud which takes only a couple of people. (around 15-25). When you have a degree you can have a job which should not be hard to find.

  • @Jannsmith - (Just a correction to my previous post that I meant to type 'radiologic technologist' :)

  • Just a word to the wise that some in the field have said that there aren't too many jobs for the radiologic technology or even the diagnostic medical sonographer (used to be referred to as 'ultrasound technician').

  • @ZoSo5885 Is this job simmilar to being a respiratory therapist? Are both programs equally tough and pay about the same? Is being X ray tech a rewarding career?

  • @ZoSo5885 thanks for the info.,maybe im gonna take Med.tech. ,,,thanks for your sharing advice

    :) godbless

  • Yeah as in operation. We do hip pinnings, rod placements, open reductions internal fixations, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, lithotripsy's and a bunch of different things. If you dont like blood I wouldn't recommend it cause there is also a lot of trauma that comes in ER. Burn victims, bad cuts and breaks, stuff like that. We also have to do barium enema's too, which aren't that great either. There is quite a lot to it. More than I expected there to be when I joined the program.

  • @chelzi Yeah like SURGERY!. Look up x-ray image intensifier on wikipedia to see it. Also try looking up Fluoroscope. Another thing I have to mention is that there is a lot to cover in 2 yrs. There is tons of procedure you have to learn and show competency in, I have 65 different procedures to learn. When you comp on something the tech just stands there and watches everything you do. Set up the room, position and set a technique. It's quite demanding.But like u said if your eager you can do it :)
