People man. (Rant time, I'd say 'feel free to ignore' but people gotta step up their love game. And we do alot of ignoring nowadays)

People man. (Rant time, I'd say 'feel free to ignore' but people gotta step up their love game. And we do alot of ignoring nowadays.) Plus work got me on burn out. I probably need to reword some stuff or possubly clarify (please feeel free to ask about clarification on things if needed), but im kinda hangry and need lunch while i have a break. If i said something wrong, tell me, the only way people learn is though kind communication and education. Not agression and defiance.


My coworker and I were called racist today... but it's not just about us, and heres why:


I work in a hospital as your friendly neighborhood xray technician. Often an overlooked and forgotten profession, but a very necessary one. We serve patients and work in all areas of the hospital, from emergency patients (those that come in to emerg), in-patients (those staying at the hospital), and outpatients (those who have walked into the hospital for a routine xray or checkup). (As well as work directly in the OR, Flouroscopy, CT, etc. but lets focus on general xray).


When we are serving patients, we have a protocol to follow on who comes first, that also, is just common sense. If an emergency patient or someone in critial condition comes into the hospital, we will serve them first over the regular outpatients. Even if you have been sitting for 15 minutes and have places to be. We will serve them before you. Becasue guess what, that patient in a stretcher who can't stand bc they might have a collapsed lung or a broken leg are going to come first.


We work as fast as we can (at least my coworkers and I do, theres always that one person whos slow), but it takes time to do each patient. Its not just you walk in, snap some photos, and leave. No. We input Patient information, double check histories or previous images if necessary, Set up our equipment, ensure we have everything ready to go before you come in. Then the part you see happens, bring in, take your pictures, all specified protocol sets of images that need to be perfect and in correct positions to show exactly the boney anatomy the radiologists require before letting you leave. And then we have to clean every surface of our xray room, anything that was touched, including the keyboards and switches we touch. Mark down the images, time, dates of exam etc. Send our images and finish up completeing the exam and scanning in your requisition. Each and every patient. We try and get through the WHOLE process, start to finish, in 5 to 10 minutes flat. We literally get timed duing schooling and practicum. Sometimes it takes longer, depending on how many pictures you need, if you have mobility issues and require help, or if you are just grumpy you are there and make the whole process unenjoyable for everyone. We also have our own 'off days'. We're people.


We try to help you. It's our job. But sometimes, if your an outpatient, you may be waiting a bit longer for your xray. Which brings us to today. We get alot of flack from patients. There are some very sweet patients as well, but oftentimes we remember the negative experiances more than the positive.


My cooworker and I got an order for an xray on an emergency patient. So we organize our room to do their image first. We go out to our waiting room area where the porters were lovely enough to bring our patient down to us on a stretcher. As we are saying hello to our patient and bringing her in for her xray, an out patient had the gall to say "oh sure... take the white lady first. Rascist." Loud enough and rude enough to be heared by all other outpatients, staff, and (most importantly) the emergency patient who was laying in a stretcher.


(After we were finished the stretcher exam, we completed the outpatients exam. With politeness, and professionalism, and not just bc its our job but gosh darnt it its the right thing to do. No matter how much we wanted to let them sit in the waiting room longer and do someone else first. We didn't. Bc guess what, I don't know what she went through to make her say that. What her past story was. Doesn't give them the right to be rude, but it doesn't give me the right to be rude back.)


Now, I myself, am a tiny little white girl. (Yes, I totally get that I dont get anything.) I know I have lived a privileged life and I try my best not to take a moment forgranted (and often fail miserably). And the lady who called us racist, was not. Im not sure her hardships, what she may have gone through, or what she was going through at that moment. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Especially in the hospital where people are often in pain, and swearing or screaming is the only way to express it. However, just beacuse someone is white does not always mean they have lived a beautiful priveledged life. This isnt about me or my cooworker. Consider my poor patient who was lying in the stretcher, hearing this. You don't know their story either, how they got there, where they came from. They already are feeling horrible, but now you make them feel like they or their condition, is an inconvenience for you and that you are the one being slighted, just beacuse of your skin color. (Note that these roles could be reversed and its just as horrible of a thing to say)


Of course, this goes both ways. Instead of looking at someone and thinking, 'well, they have lived a good life,' or 'they have lived a bad life' based on the color of their skin, consider this:

They are people. Who have a story to tell. Sometimes that story is easy and blissful. Sometimes that story is a comedy. Sometimes that story is a tragedy. But you cannot tell the contents of that story by looking at the cover alone. Even the synopsis on the back is nothing more than a quick short version with little detail. It's what we want the world to see on the outside.


Just bc a majority of white people may have lived a priveledged life, doesn't mean they all have. And vice versa! I have seen people of all colors and 'races' (why do we use this word at all? Shouldn't it just be people? You don't look at a shitzu and say thats a weird race of dog compared to a shepard. Its a dog.) I have seen all kinds of people, suffering from the tragedies of their own lives, it's not mostly one color who comes in over another, it's everyone. All people. I have seen their background histories, seen the reasons they come in. It's a mixed bag of nuts and is almost never related to skin color.

Reguardless of the majority, always consider the minority.

This doesn't matter what color you are or what you identify as or where you came from. You are a person. And so are they. Stop fighting assumptions and predigous with more pregidous and assumptions.


Everyone says "don't judge a book by it's cover". But when do we actually follow it? People are so quick to judge and lash out, to assume they know someone based on how they look.

Give people the benefit of the doubt. Beacuse they are just people. They have good days, and bad days, and sometimes make mistakes.


Alright, giant wall of text rant over.

Just, love your neighbor as yourself man.
