How meets Why: Upper GI Tract

On this episode hosts Marcelene Forbus (RT, RPA) and Reece Burgoon (RT, RRA) share about some of the things they have learned over the course of starting this podcast. Learning more in-depth about various avenues our career paths we can take and some of the tips and tricks we have learned along the way. As we did this podcast we got to learn how everyone else is working but we as RA's don't really openly talk about how we do, what we do. On this episode we share some of the important things we do when performing exams of the upper GI tract. We spent some time sharing how and why we do some of the positioning we do and helping technologist gain a different perspective into setting up these exams or anticipating how to better assist in the rooms. We share on some of the tips and tricks we have learned from both our radiologist and technologist over the years, being able to take care of our patients and get the radiologist the diagnostic exam they need to make their diagnosis. These were just things we have have learned and how we personal work and are not intended as advice on how others work in their environment. This epsiode was simply to demonstrate one of the many ways and RA can assist in the fluoroscopy world and how we work within our roles. Every practice is different and each radiologist has their own protocols and expectations that us, as RA's, are expected to follow. This was just our generic take on our typical day of work.
