X-ray technologist who treats every exam as a judgment call, not a checklist. At Baptist Health Urgent Care, I adjust positioning on the spot for patients who can't get into standard alignment, catch protocol mismatches before they turn into repeat exposures, and make the call on technique myself instead of defaulting to routine. I read the order, verify the patient, and stay accountable for the image quality that comes out the other end. Looking for a radiology role where that kind of ownership over patient care and diagnostic accuracy is the expectation, not the exception.
