The Importance Of Becoming An Oncology Radiologist

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. That means radiological technologists cannot talk about patients at home or with friends and classmates

An oncologist is a medical practitioner qualified to diagnose and treat tumors. Oncology is the study of cancer. An oncologist manages a person's care and treatment once he or she is diagnosed with cancer. The field of oncology has three major areas: medical, surgical, and radiation. A medical oncologist treats cancer using chemotherapy or other medications, such as targeted therapy. A doctor who has special training.

From scoring my first lab-coat at age five to winning a science fair contest at age nine to assessing the ecological health of the Bronx River at age sixteen, the sciences have always been my place to shine. In the past few years, I have grown particularly attracted to biomedical science because of its combination of both life science and humanism. My budding interest in pathology and clinical applications of science, as I discovered in my internship with Bronx-Westchester Area Health Education Center, has me to discover oncology. I am interested in becoming a cancer researcher, so I can perform innovative translational research that may assist cancer patients.

I will always cherish my favorite memories with my great-grandma. They include making tamales on Christmas Eve, watering her beautiful garden, and reading a book while she would sew. From this experience I learned to cherish lives simple things, that nothing is permanent, and most importantly I learned the importance of being there for someone who has suicidal thoughts. I wish I could’ve been there for my great-grandma and just maybe I could’ve enjoyed her company for a few

My biggest inspiration in choosing my career path was getting a summer job. This past summer I had the opportunity of working in the radiology department at Opelousas General. I got the chance to experience what Radiologist, Rad techs, Nuclear Med Techs, MRI techs, CT techs and Ultrasound techs tasks are like on a daily basis. My job was to assist the transporters when getting patients in the hospital for either an x-ray, ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine test, CT or MRI. As a summer student at OGHS, I got to communicate with different techs about their experiences. Being a Radiology and Sonography major I asked lots of questions about their job and I learned lots of things I never knew about this field of medicine. Some things I have learned is

It was the day of his funeral, my family's black van was stationed a few meters from his grave, my dad sitting in the driver's seat, me being on his lap with the window cracked halfway open. We stared at a distance at the crowd of my grandfathers family and friends surrounding his grave, dressed in somber colors. It was so quiet and I was clueless as to why everyone was so sad. My mom approached the car, clearly holding back tears unless she had just wiped them off. She asked me to give her the kleenex box sitting on the right side of the dashboard, which I remember was covered in a rose print, for my aunt who was standing behind her with her back turned to the car. My dad went to reach for it before I had the opportunity to since I was so concentrated on my mom's distressed face. That was the end of

After I graduate high school I would like to go to college to study Radiologic Science. It would be ideal for me to stay in Missouri to do that so my “dream college” that I would like to attend the most would be Mizzou. Mizzou is known for its School of Medicine and has a very good ranking against other schools. There are a lot of different classes to choose from so a student could choose to get a broader understanding of the field or focus on a certain part of it. There program also teaches the students social skills, how to communicate with students, and make proper observations. I could apply to the Radiology program my Sophomore year at Mizzou after I finish all of my prerequisite classes. For me to get accepted into Mizzou, my best option

Ever since I was a little girl I looked up to my granny. She helped raise me and my brother when my parents had to work. To this day she has made me realize what it is like to be loved and supported. Whenever I need her I know she is only a phone call away. In the future,

I have been interested in the medical field since I was a young girl when I wanted to be helpful to people who were ill. That hasn’t changed, but since then, I’ve also become interested in the science of healthcare. When I was introduced to radiology, I knew it was the right area of medicine for me to work in. I started as a radiology volunteer at Dixie Regional Hospital, where I gained an understanding of a radiology technologist’s duties. I also learned how to compassionately communicate with patients that felt anxious about their procedures. I am now in the Radiologic Technology program and I love every second of it. I love being able to help Spanish-speaking people and make them feel a sense of comfort. I’m always willing to help people

Disciplined and confident Radiologist doctor with extensive experience in Hospital, ER and Radiology department. Wide experience as a translator from English to Spanish and freelance translator and writer for two local newspapers. Strong background giving presentations, speeches, lectures and medicine classes. As a chief radiologist I was in charge of interviewing staff as doctors, nurses, technicians and transcribers. One of my duties was acquiring new equipment, medical supplies, X-rays plates and CDs. I had to find the best business for my service.

When I was five years old, my father came to me holding a tan pouch, magnifying glass, and several paper pamphlets with pictures of colorful orange butterflies. It wasn’t even my choice to begin the project, the start of a wonderful journey that has lasted twelve years so far. To this day, nothing has shaped my life more than working with the Monarch butterflies.

When I was seven years old, I was outside playing catch with a softball with my sister, Katie and my mom. My mom collapsed due to what we believed was the heat due to the temperature being ninety plus degrees, but it turns out this was the start of infinite trips to the hospital.My mom had passed out due to reasons that were unknown at the time. My sister Katie and I ran inside the house and called 911 and told them what happened. My mom was still on the ground. Within ten minutes, the ambulance showed up on our doorstep and proceeded to wake up my mom. They were asking her questions about her health and she responded confused, “I’m fine. I do not know what happened.” The ambulance then, took my mom to the hospital and ran multiple tests and even heart tests. Katie and I were playing with our Barbie dolls while we were waiting in the hospital room for her test to get back. It seemed like we were there for a million years. As we were patiently waiting, my mom looked scared. I remember her telling me how her dad died from a heart attack when he was only 40 and so did her grandfather. The doctors were severely concerned about her situation.

First I would start off writing about my great grandparents. My great grandfather on my mom side was a beekeeper. Every day he would go and get honey from the beehives, he would always wear the bee suit. One day he told his wife that he’s not going to wear the bee suit because the bees should be by now are used to him going there every day. That day my great grandfather never came back home, it became dark and his wife started to get worried. My great grandmother went to go find him in the field and she saw what she did not want to see. He was on the ground dead, the bees did not recognize him and they attacked my great-grandfather, he was only in his 40’s when he died. My great grandmother had to raise all of her kids by herself, so she took my great grandfather job, which was farming, and taking care of the animals. She sold all the goods for money. Later my great grandmother moved to America with her kids in the early 1970’s, later my grandmother

Cancer, or as some people call it “the C word” affects entirely too many people in this world. Hearing about the disease really hits home for me. My great aunt died this past winter from pancreatic cancer. Once she was diagnosed, she only had about one month of life left before she passed. During that month, I watched her wither away as cancer took over her entire body. I hated seeing her suffer, but I also found a very deep interest in the cancer that had spread so quickly throughout her body. At this point, I realized I displayed a strong interest in the field of medicine, and specifically, cancer. This led me to search professions dealing with cancer. In that research, I found the

While I was in the second grade, I lost the battle that had been roaring on the inside after my great-grandmother passed away on February 11, 2005. I treated her as if she was the queen of the world ;she meant everything to me and I have always looked up to her because of the women she was and how much she had accomplished in her life.
