I love careless students who don't check to make sure the room is clear and I get radiated
Where were you at in the room?

By the patient, who was unsteady. I was handing them a walker and the girl just wasn't paying attention. I heard the rotor and called out but it was too late.
Will she get into a shed load of trouble?
Somebody should give her a real roasting.

She will absolutely get into trouble. Radiation safety is a huge thing and she totally violated everything
Well, that's something, I suppose, not that it helps you much.
What a dreadful thing to happen.
Hugs.
What type of xray machine is it? The patient was standing up?

Went kayaking on the local lake today. Very windy. A few small whitecaps. Would have liked a nap after, but a fussy baby needed holding, then a friend needed a farewell send off. I think I'll play a little frisbee with my dog and then go to bed early, work undone, and try to catch up tomorrow.

Good night, all.

It's a GE digital. The patient was standing up for a chest. I mean the radiation for a chest is minimal, it's just the principle. Like, what if I was pregnant or something? Just the pure carelessness.

Thanks
You're right about the carelessness.
Though I am kinda sad that the likelihood of you developing super powers is that much lower.
I've worked on some xray rooms; from what I've been told, modern machines are so precise & safe that a lot of the lead shielding in the walls is unnecessary. It's a holdover from the past and it's just easier to do it than not.

Well that's a relief haha. And I'm a little bummed too! No superpowers for me, give me a few years and that might change. The machine is 15 years old from what I understand so it's more modern than most of the machines I've worked with. And you're right, the lead IS fun to play with. Kids love the patterned ones. We have one with airplanes on it that an autistic little boy tried to take home haha. He liked the textureYou're right about the carelessness.

Sounds like a lovely day.
Love kayaking.
Not sure it or frisbee would really be suitable in The Cold Dark Room though.
No one's found a lake yet and frisbee in the Dark is very difficult.
Sleep well.
What super power would you most like ?

Neither of you said goodnight tonight.
I am now going to cry and get you to beat up the other in the morning.

Have you survived?
