research the profession itself online, but the computer can't tell me how those that are x-ray technologists feel? Thanks! I am trying to save points by asking five questions at once.

Besides regular x-rays, radiologic technologists also do barium studies (upper GI, barium enema), hysterosalpingograms, intravenous pyelograms, cystourethrograms, arthrograms, myelograms, portable x-rays in ER/ICU/floor, operating room cases using a C-arm, sometimes even x-rays in the morgue, etc etc etc...
Yes I enjoy what I do, but it can seem repetitive at times, especially if you work in an orthopedic clinic or something like that. Big trauma hospitals would be more exciting.
You get to see some very interesting things, but you also have to deal with some very disgusting things. But that's the medical field...
