i've been a raidology tech for 15 years and ctmri. san francisco general is a level one trauma center. i've seen patients come, shot, stabbed, in a plane crash, even tiger attacks. you see it all there. working at sfch is like being on the front lines a lot of the time. we sometimes find ourselves in generation situations to help people who need it. unfortunately last year, i was punched in the face by a psyche patient who was violent with staff members in the past. on top of a stressful working environment, the city pays less than local hospitals. this leads to under staffing which inhir inhibits our abilito take care of patients. steed of the city paying a competitive wage they pay o.t. and out of state registry company to fill our ranks. a lot of these techs have very little experience and many of them are actually graduates from san francisco city college. since we cannot hire externally at san francisco general, we're training techs and spray cat stan and interventional and mammography. this is a very time-consuming and expensive
