As a new technologist, you have to ask yourself... is 8 weeks of training really enough for you to learn the basics and work solo? In this week's episode, I talk about how 8 weeks of training isn't enough for a new technologist to learn the CT basics and be able to operate on a shift solo. I also give you some tips on how to communicate for more training for a better chance of success.

In this week's episode on CT Scan Stories, I talk a case I did several years ago on a patient in her 20s on a 72-hour hold and freaked out while I was scanning her CT of the Head and her doll that she kept squeezing and almost causing harm to her father.
