7. "I positioned my self." I hear ya. I went for LS films and had to show the student the trick

for getting L5-S1 in the center of the film. I asked him about the cone and he looked at me with a blank stare. As for books, they are all gone. After 42 yrs as a tech I gave them all away to new students. I really liked "The Art and Science of Medical Radiography". The title kinda sorta summed up my love of the field. I really Really REALLY liked taking radiographs. Doctors....not so much.
Many moons ago I was a Asst.cheif in a small hospital in Connecticut. They had a tiny medical library that nobody went into accept me I think. There was a old book on the shelf called "Radiography" by a Dr Sante.. It was published in 1925❗️
It had everything on how to set up and run a radiology department. How to make gowns, how to set up a BE system with a stainless bucket hanging from a IV pole with rubbber tubes and clamps. HOW TO CARVE ENEMA TIPS that's crazy. Suggested techniques for xray machines..
The TFD's were 20 inches and it was the usual MA/TIME/KV and what got me was.....
You had to set the SPARK GAP❗️The fricken kvp was dependent on the spark gap of the generator. How antique was that...
I had too much fun and they paid me to do it. I caught the profession when it was going up and left when it was going down.
Met some really interesting people and went to interesting places.. YMMV
