As a REGISTERED RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGIST with 27 years in the profession...........your "cousin" isn't a Radiologist.
At most she is a "limited" Radiologic Technologist who is only allowed to perform "MINOR" simple examinations on patients.
1 year of schooling doesn't make you a Radiologist or Radiologic Technologist.
AND FYI............RADIOLOGISTS don't take x-rays. They read what we take for them.
SIDE NOTE................the TSA in FLL T2 have become quite accustomed to me opting out now. They see me coming and don't even question me anymore. In fact the last couple times I heard a couple of them say out loud..........."oh yeah you're the x-ray tech"
Just doing my part to keep the TSA informed about the x-ray backscatter units ^
