From a pediatric perspective, the family is an integral part of the healthcare team. Parents are the primary ally and resource in providing individualized care for their child. Even in adult patients, who they are is impacted by the relationships that they have. Serious or chronic illnesses and injuries affect the entire family. The family, then, becomes the patient, particularly when it is necessary to make lifestyle changes.
Radiologic technology is a satisfying and rewarding career. It is a technical and refined science. As a radiological technologist, there are many essential duties and responsibilities that have to be fulfilled in order to be a good one. First of all, radiological technologists have to maintain a well-mannered and professional behavior when gathering information. They have to assure their patients that they are in good hands therefore; they give patients the uppermost quality of care and services. Second of all, the main responsibility of a healthcare provider is to keep all knowledge of a patient’s health record confidential or secluded.

Over the past six years, I have made some decisions in my life; as to why I believe now is the right time to attend college and finish with a degree.
Radiology Technicians are like heroes. Without x-rays they do many people’s sicknesses would go un-treated , as well as undetected. The job of a radiology tech is sometimes very stressful, but even though that it is stressful they know it’s worth the stress because they are saving other people’s lives. When being a radiology technician it can be very dangerous because of the administering radiation, but the benefits of being able to know that you helped a person out ways all the negative factors of this career.
Families always affect one another, even when they feel distanced. The family unit can promote health or it can be a source of stress. It is the nurse's task to use family relationships to act as health facilitators for the patient, and, if necessary, treat the family as part of the patient's social environment. The family creates the patient's environment just as much as a clean room or an accessible place to exercise or access to appropriate medication.
The first couple weeks of school are always the most stressful. They get you thinking about how the semester is going to be and different ways to get you motivated. However, the beginning of this semester is probably one of the most stressful semesters that I have encountered because being a part of the radiography program is a very big achievement. It is a program where I know I will have to be ahead of the game the whole two years, which keeps me on my feet. Throughout this paper I am going to discuss the reasons why I wanted to enter into the program, and the things that I have learned so far along with my short-term and long-term goals.
To add to the complexity of nursing there are so many different fields in which you can work such as staff nurse, charge nurse, OR nurse, administrative nurse, school nurse, etc…Kristine is currently in the field of home care working as a bedside nurse. She decided to get into bedside nursing in the home health care field for a number of reasons including one-to-one patient care, the chance to create a flexible schedule that is conducive to the demands of raising a family, stress reduction, the autonomy of home care, and the ability to bless entire families as opposed to just one patient. Kristine pointed out how she enjoys being able to attend to the problem of caregiver role- strain in the family in addition to caring for the patient,

Family and General Physicians deal with everyday problems such as broken bones, infections or just the common cold on a daily basis. They diagnose and treat patients with illnesses and injuries.They have many responsibilities along with that. Their responsibilities include examining patients, collecting medical information about the patient, family history, and maybe other doctors, immunizing patients. They also run tests and labs, prescribe medications, coming up with a plan on how to treat the injury or illness. Which usually includes sending them to different therapies or specialist or prescribing certain treatments to help them get better.
I have observed how Radiologic technologist comfort patients and provide their support at a time where the patient is overwhelmed and anxious about what the results will show. For example, we had a young kid come into the Emergency Department with his parents complaining of severe abdominal pain. The doctor had ordered a CT scan and I accompanied the patient and his parents to the CT scan room. The kid and parents were terrified to get the scan, as they were unsure what to expect. A Radiologic technician explained the process and risk/benefits of the scan to them very clearly and in a consolable manner. He answered all questions that the parents or the child had and put their minds at ease. I envision myself being in the shoes of the technician directly contributing to society. I inspire to be in a field that allows me to assist and console people when they are at a rough point in their
Family medicine is a specialty that provides healthcare for both families and individuals. Physicians in family medicine provide medical diagnosis, treatment, and care to people of all ages, both sexes, every organ system, and all diseases. The patient-doctor relationship is generally in the framework of the family. Family medicine practitioners promote good health, stress disease prevention, and coordinate referrals when necessary. Graduates in family medicine have completed a broad range of study, which includes:
Family plays an important role when there is a need for taking important decisions, including those in health care. This is known as familismo. A patient will think about their obligations to the family rather than their own personal good. Based on this, it is very common to see the whole family gathered in a meeting with the physician and a caregiver may have to wait until all
Imagine this: ten seconds left in your regional high school basketball game, and you go up for a layup, but when you come down you land on your ankle wrong. You’re sure it’s broke, and you need an x-ray. So what happens when you go to the hospital? Will the doctor take the x-ray or will someone else take it? When a situation like this happens, a person will go see a doctor, but a radiologist technician will be the one to take the x-ray. A radiologist technician, also known as a radiographer, performs imaging examinations such as x-rays, MRIs, and CT scans on patients. To become a radiologist technician, people will need many years of schooling, but once the schooling is completed, it will be well worth it for the benefits and pay.
Radiology technician schools teach radiographers, also known as radiology technicians, to learn to extract the images of the insides of the patient’s body with the help of several forms of radiologic technology. The physicians are required to properly set their machinery and the patient in order to obtain a photographic image that they need to later conduct a review. They also need to take into consideration several other factors with each patient which includes maintaining their safety along with the precision of each examination. Individuals who aspire to become a radiologist must have certain educational requirements before they can get hired.
Developing long-term relationships with patients is what I’m looking forward to as a Family Physician. Through my experiences as a medical student, intern, hospital volunteer, and observer, my most enjoyable moments are those spent listening to the patient. I have learned that communication, empathy and good listening skills, attributes
