Someone Photographing Bones Cannot Just Imagine What Sufferance Is, Surely?”
Ever thought about what you would do when you end higher education or a change of job? Ever thought about what it would be like to be a radiographer? Well read on. The world has a lack of radiographers. The United Nations have given one day annually, 8th November, to World Radiography Day.
With a shortage of radiographers in the UK the Government is trying to raise the profile of radiographers in order to attract potential students and thus cope with its targets. Because radiographers are involved in 90% of diagnostic cases any delay in patients accessing their services invariably creates a bottle neck in the diagnostic and treatment chain.
The Society and College of Radiographers is to present an annual honor, Radiographer of the Year, to one special member as a means in putting the spotlight on the role of radiographers. This event will take place at Parliament’s House of Commons in London.
The gripping sympathetic fiction/faction novel, “I Can See Clearly Now the Rain is Gone”, by George Korankye based on the real life incident at Dunblane will help swell the interest in the role of the radiographer in the medical profession.
This is the first time a fictional book, “I Can See Clearly Now the Rain is Gone”, features a radiographer as its hero. The title of the book has been taken from legendary singer Johnny Nash’s song of the same title.
The “faction” book of factual events from a radiographer’s point of view are seamlessly blended and revolve around the fictional Bonnyholly Hospital, which serves a picturesque small town in Scotland.
With the lack of public awareness of what a radiographer’s role is in the medical profession, the Chief Executive Officer of the Society and College of Radiographers, Richard Evans, commended George Korankye in broaching the subject. Indeed, Mr Evans even went so far as to tell second time author George Korankye that he would be pleased to assist in spreading the news of the book.
“I Can See Clearly Now the Rain is Gone”, although George Korankye’s second book, is his first effort at fiction writing. He looks forward to it arousing the reader’s curiosity in the indispensable roles of radiographers.
Radiographers carry out various tasks, but one particularly important role is in the operating theatre. When it comes to urology and orthopaedic procedures, you certainly wouldn’t want to undergo surgery without one being present.
On a didactic note, archaeologists, historians and anthropologists have exploited the diagnostic talents of radiographers in unearthing more about our ancestors by x-raying mummies, tombs, etc without breaching caskets. Anonymously to the public, radiographers take on research in universities and non academic amenities.
