Hi KatzPajamas,
I just had to jump in here and tell you that I absolutely loved your post.
Your joy in your work in such an important field comes through loud and clear. I love it when people love their jobs. It sounds like you have a gift for science and you are using that gift.
Also, I tend to read between the lines and that's where I saw something more than just the science part. I bet you have made a difference in the lives of so many people throughout the years. I don't mean just because you know how to make those MRI's do what they do. I bet that you also are someone who is really good at making the patients feel better if they are anxious about the process of going through the MRI. And my next guess is that younger techs have learned a lot from you, including MRI-Side Manner. (It was the last part of your post that made me think all that. -- That's when the narrator who lives inside my head showed up.)
So anyway, thank you for your dedication to your work. It sounds like, for you, it was a true calling. We live in a time now where too many are choosing a medical field for one reason and one reason only -- that's where the jobs are. Practical? Certainly. But not the best for the patients. Medicine should be more than just a job.
But I also want to say that when I saw your screen name, my first thought was, "Oh I wonder if she is a designer of lovely, comfortable, women's pj's, suitable for wearing around the house all day if you happen to feel like doing so once in a while."
Yes, KatzPajamas, that really was my first thought. Like you were a pj version of Vera Bradley, maybe. Hey! Who knows -- could be a second career for you maybe............Uh oh, there goes that narrator.
Boomer, typing in the car again. (Mr. Boomer loves it that I have this iPad with me, but I know, deep-down he surely misses my helpful driving tips.)
