Week ending 1-27-12

The boss had pretty nice words for me this week. pretty impressed. feels good to know that I am nearing the end. feeling pretty comfortable scanning even the heaviest patients.  Even showing a super fatty liver with a barely visible diaphragm is diagnostic.

Misdated my last blog entry.  it was labeled 1-12-13. should have been 1-13-12. This week we really concentrated on the interventional radiology stuff. hardly didd any other scans as it was pretty slow too. and the younger year student was present as well. less stuff for me to do. getting pretty good at it though. trite now.

The boss taught me how to set up the sterile trays this week.  then another employee showed me a different but similar way to do it.  She had me draw up .5cc Sodium bicarbonate/5cc 1% lidocaine.  X2 syringes.  This seems less accurate than drawing up 1cc/10cc in one sryinge. nevertheless

Week ending 1-6-12

Had a nice winter break.  Less stress to continue now.  Was a short, pretty uneventful week.  Boss says he wants to teach me to run the interventional radiology procedures now.  I have seen plenty already but haven't set up the sterile trays yet.  Nice to move onto something else.
