We took LM to get the standard chest x-ray after central line placement, which was down the hall. Instead of ordering a portable CXR, the patient is the portable entity. No one was wearing protective shields and the tech had his 3 year old daughter washing her hands in the sink next to the machine. Mario was called in to read the XR. We followed him in and I noticed a familiar aroma. I was taken back to my last semester at Loyola - hours spent in the photo lab processing film and developing prints. Wow they develop their own X-rays right then and there. Scott was right, ”I am assuming this film isn’t coming up on the computer.” The line was in its place and no signs of pneumothorax.
