Hi Zoffiel, you know you have every right to request another technician. Just ask to see the manager of the department and request you don't ever have HER. You don't have to put up with that crap. However,if you want to persevere then perhaps write your name on your forehead as a helpful gesture!! She's young and newly graduated and full of her own importance by the sounds of it.2
-
I think a final gesture @Zoffiel is to let her know we've got your back...that your network of supporters agree unanimously that such behaviour is both callous and unprofessional; that it is unacceptable and cold and has no place in the treatment of anyone who is sick, from anything. Xxx3

I had a guy who never smiled l had him everyday l asked him one day did he ever smile and all the techs cracked up.each time after that id flash him a smile and say goodmorning. He would wince a smile. But l got him lol2

Every three months or so i have a ct scan, There is one old cow at radiology who roles her eyes, and says, ' you haven't finished' drinking that crap they make you drink prior to the scan...a smile would crack her face, honestly...i cringe everytime i see its her thats going to do the scan....makes u feel like a naughty child....so i ride it out, have it done and just think effing bitch. Been there too long i think!1

Of course, seeing as she's very young, you could call her "Girly", and lay it on thick. "oh yes, hello Girly....thank you Girly...three bags full, Girly..."

Hey @vangirl This a blast from the past, but I thought it might give you a giggle. If you don't feel like you are being respected, ask for a copy of the patient charter (it is underpinned by legislation so they have to have one). Take to it with a highlighter and mark the areas of deficiency then make a point of giving it to the unit manager and your oncologist as well as sending a patient feedback form through to the health service (they hate that as they are obliged to respond)

Side splitting as usual! OMG that would shit me to tears too! Why they feel the need to do it is beyond me, obviously she's stuck on her own self importance, thinks she's above everyone one else...almost like she has this smugness of looking down on patients. Well God Help her if she ever finds herself on that table one day, receiving what she is giving??? Karma hmmm LOL sad but true! Costs nothing to have respect and compassion. xx Melinda
As a radiation therapist who recently finished my radiation I certainly hope it wasnt karma....0 -
I'm not going to start on why I chose to be a radiation therapist nor explain the complexities of the job. Unfortunately their are people in every profession that are not the best suitedZoffiel said:Nikki's suggestion is next. I'm thinking I can stretch that out over a couple of sessions...
Those with great communication and people skills may not necessarily be attracted to a job that involves measuring patients then charging into a bunker and staring at a screen while everyone gets irradiated. I get it.
You know, sometimes someone comes along who just condenses all the stuff that is festering in your brain into focus. I can get a fairly benign passive resistance program happening and have something to distract myself while I'm lying in the machine.
Hey, any of you rads vets ever lay in the machine, looked at the weird little grill thing that opens and shuts in the ....umm, no idea what it's called...as it moves around you and thought "Wow, it looks like the thing that was going to eat Sigorny Weaver in Aliens"
