Good morning
During a particularly busy morning, one of the DVM’s in our practice was asked by a nurse if they could help shoot radiographs. Typically, DVM’s are not asked to help, but in this case there was limited staff, and very busy.
The response from DVM (who has historically never offered or helped to shoot radiographs) was “in school we are taught not to help with radiographs due to the risk of cancer. Because as DVMS we are in this for the long haul, whereas you all (techs?) may not be”
This could be interpreted in a few ways. Genuinely curious what my fellow assistants/nurses/techs think about this.
