Today was yet another really good and eventful day at work. (Not afterwork though). Today started with a lady having to take a FULL SKELETAL Survey. For those who know nuts about my attachment, it's actually a graded module and there is a list of bone X-rays that I have to clock in order to pass my module. Therefore, to actually get a case of Full Skeletal X-ray will mean that I'll get to shoot a shit load of bones that will help me clear my competence. Which is good. I did chest, humerus and forearm on the poor lady. Along with my partner student (drum roll and ta da...)Claire! And my jolly old Mr Ng. BTW, Mr Ng has 40 years experience in radiography and he's so fit and wise. To top it all off, he's such a great teacher! Taught us alot alot alot and allowed us to play with so many advance projections.
There was also this really really sad case. This lady on a trolley came in. She is a suicide survivor. Her legs are totally screwed, there are metal rods outside of her left leg all the way up to her hips. Poor thing, and taking X-rays are just tooo advanced for my level. But my dearest Radiography Idol calmy looked at the patient and started taking X-rays with super innovative modifications to standard protocol. She suffered multiple fractures on the leg... poor thing. So the moral of the story is if you want to kill yourself, make sure you die. Or else, use a method that will be easily saved like say drug overdose. That one can just pump stomach...
