My first Practical
I'm doing well in all my classes. I had a written and practical exam on the same morning. Yike! It felt long. We had a 70 question written test and we identified anatomy on14 radiographs. I felt like a wet rag after that. I did fine though.
For the positioning practical I did a P-A and Lateral Chest, and a supine abdomen (KUB). I did OK on the positioning but I missed an important detail. I forgot the breathings instructions on the lateral chest. Doh!
We reviewed the anatomy of the wrist, and fingers last Tuesday. We'll have a positioning lab on that anatomy on Monday. I start my first clinical on Monday 28.

Congrats on your first practical.. mine was a total disaster. I was dreading the whole idea in general but I was especially dreading the shoulder. Guess what I was given.. a shoulder. I missed the angles on two of the positions and then went on to do the *wrong* supplemental position. I thought my patient was in "pain".. well, they were.. because they had been in an auto-accident, which would fall into the "injury" catagory.. DOH! (In my defense... she was still in pain). Anyway.. I ended up with an 89, I suppose not too bad for all the screw-ups.
