Week Four

Hello to you! This past week we have been learning radiology--and as you all know, this is a very important skill to master. FMX's, PID's, processing... CSDA is committed to making certain that we have this knowledge, and know it forward and back!

I do have one question for anyone out there that may know... How do you keep a patient from gagging? Seems a silly question with a simple enough answer. But when doing xrays, there's a good chance of hitting that reflex "button". And have you ever been to the dentist, had your mouth wide open while he works, and you are to breathe only through your nose the entire time? Try it... it's not easy! So let me know if you have the answer (because I don't see it in the book, my friend!)

Okay, there is another test coming up so prepare for that. Keep in mind, though, the mid-term exam is the following week!! So gather all your reviews and homework, previous tests, flash cards, class notes, and anything else you have and start studying as soon as you can for it. There is also a practice test in the back of your textbook, although it is covering more than we have learned yet, find the questions that you do know and answer those. Good luck and have a good week!
