This week on the podcast, I discuss the purpose of rebranding the podcast, all social media channels and my dilemma with my Tik Tok account. I deep dive into some comments left on a few viral Tik Tok videos that sparked a great conversation when it comes to the dynamics and interaction between CT technologists and radiologists. This also opened the conversation about CT protocols, the expectation that radiologists have for technologists to know all protocols when there is a clear lack of education and training with new technologists and the guidance they seek when there are orders in question.The videos that sparked this podcast episode:Video 1https://www.tiktok.com/@catscanchaosaf/video/7534120724882115854?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7498290442167076394Video 2https://www.tiktok.com/@catscanchaosaf/video/7535045955784117559?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7498290442167076394The CT Tech Cheat Code: Dominate Your Training.
