How much of your day is spent working with other people? Well, all day! Everyday! We work with Doctors, we work with the Nurses on the wards. When we go up to the wards to actually take these images of the patients. And in the department too. We have clerical staff that answer the phones for us and as well as on the wards. We have to talk to them all the time as well. Colleagues, our own… our peers within the department as well as colleagues at other sites. We also have to be able to deal with the family of the patient or the patient’s family. A lot of times we have to communicate with them. Sometimes it’s a language barrier, sometimes we need them to help us translate what we need the patient to do, like hold their breath. Sounds very simple? But not everybody knows what we’re talking about when we say that. So we sometimes have to use the family member or we physically will actually show them. This is what we want you to do. And, of course, the patients. Those are the most important people that we deal with every day.
