@ben_imaging @MedRadJclub Distraction works! Most effective topics are grandchildren and children, but must be careful because they can backslash from patients without. A safe topic may be pets and animals. #MedRadJClub

@MedRadJclub A young man the same age as my son told me when setting up the iv,”I have an incurable brain tumour!” He broke down and cried. It broke my heart. I stood there in silence because nothing could be constructive except to hear him out 💔

@hwakeley1 @MedRadJclub Teamwork! Sure important in the pandemic era! #MedRadJClub

@MedRadJclub It’s always safety, especially for an MRI tech #MedRadJClub

@MedRadJclub Because a literature review is the first step to any research project? #MedRadJClub

[Holly Chun @c5814]

@ThePerkyFairy @MedRadJclub We need a research culture within our peers so everyone finds it achievable #MedRadJClub

[Holly Chun @c5814]

@MedRadJclub In my institute, which is a teaching hospital, some techs think research is for radiologists. Management emphasizes too much on clinical research and sends out confusing messages #MedRadJClub

[Holly Chun @c5814]

@AmandaBoldersto Agree! How can we, as senior techs and teachers, keep the momentum going after the students join the work force? #MedRadJClub

[Holly Chun @c5814]

@TheoAkudjedu @MedRadJclub I think knowledge creation is most important, because it is the driving force that moves the word forward. Unfortunately, many organizations only have eyes on clinical research which produces revenue #MedradJClub

[Holly Chun @c5814]

@MedRadJclub We have everything in place, but it is still limited to a few. Other techs, such as those in my department, are not interested even in attending a journal club 😪 #MedRadJclub

@gibsonc85 @MedRadJclub @mrmitchell1969 @chloe_shand @sideshow_jim Sorry @gibsonc85 I meant AI screens resumes #MedRadJclub

[Holly Chun @c5814]

@gibsonc85 @TheoAkudjedu @MedRadJclub Some of our radiologists have been working from home for months due to the pandemic #MedRadJClub

[Holly Chun @c5814]

@TheoAkudjedu @MedRadJclub Not a dream, a mobile MRI is already roaming the streets 😆 #MedRadJClub

[Holly Chun @c5814]

@MedRadJclub No need to panic. New technologies emerge everyday and corresponding talent will be needed. Techs should keep updated to meet what is new #MedRadJClub

[Holly Chun @c5814]

@MedRadJclub Take MRI, AI makes scanning super simple. The next step, one tech supervises several junior operators (may not be techs anymore) remotely. The hardware is already here. #MedRadJClub

[Holly Chun @c5814]

@chloe_shand @MedRadJclub Patient care is not to be replaced by machines in the near future ❤️ although I really like to have a robot transferring a patient from the stretcher to the scan table! #MedRadJClub

[Holly Chun @c5814]

@MedRadJclub T2: There are small doses of AI applied to MRI. When you think, oh, I would have done that, that’s because the decision has already been made for you by AI, and it happens almost every few minutes during the shift. #MedRadJClub
