The second week of clinical was a successful one. I learned a tremendous amount of information regarding the patient assessment, the difference between the Siemens and GE rooms, and how to critique images. I have developed a routine for getting the patients and returning them to their rooms. Before I get a patient for an exam, I make sure to set up the room. This is very important because once the patient has entered the room everything should be in place and ready for the exam. Many patients that I have assessed are either unable to walk, stand, or even move. I try to handle each patient with care to reduce any further pain that could occur. This week I was able to be comped on various exams, as well as continue ones that I previously performed.
