In Trouble Again

It's Friday. I've calmed down somewhat from the stress of earlier in the week, and I'm getting used to the routine. I turn up, wait in the big waiting room, then the radiographer (who always introduce themselves, first name terms, which is nice: Kathryn or Pira or Claire or Colin or...) take me through to the little waiting area. Then it's through the double doors, round the bendy corridor to the RT machine. Kit off, on couch, some realingment of me on the couch then ZAP!!


But on Friday I went through the bendy corridor to the RT machine and saw two people I'd never met before (a man and a young woman) standing in a corner. She was doing stuff, while he watched. I waited.

After a moment, the radiographer said, "Are you all right Carol?"

I replied, "I'm sorry, I just don't like getting undressed in front of people who haven't introduced themselves."

I got sent to the naughty room.

Of course I didn't. The radiographer introduced them immediately, I got my kit off... all continued as normal.

But it was interesting to note that the 2 newbies were a student radiographer and her male trainer. What? Courtesy and respect weren't part of that module?
