text: is anyone a x-ray tech.....is it a good career?   becoming a tech is great career. but you also need to realize that it is a very physically demanding job, there is a lot of lifting and moving patients around. also you want to make sure you have the stomach for the job as you will be working in many different areas of the hospital. to list a few: emergency room to do xray on trauma patients, intensive care unit, pediatric critical care unit, operating room as well you need to assist doctors to do gastic studies which include doing enemas. personally, i really enjoy my career choice but you do need to realize it is not jsut x-raying broken bones. also the schooling is quite intense, there is a lot of physics invovled in it. i attended school in canada, which is suppose to provide you with a better educational base than the american program because it is more indepth. good luck in the future if you have any more questions, let me know i am more than happy to help you out. twitch1984@hotmail.com
