I was doing CT clinicals one night and a patient came down from ICU. Now the hospital that I work at and where I am doing my clinicals the ICU is wonderful. However, the patients that are admitted to our ICU are extremely critical most of the time. We scanned this patient's head and normally you would see all the sulcus. Well, this patient's head images were different. There was nothing there. I had never seen this before because I am new to this, but this was very sad. I was told this is due to the brain swelling and unfortunately this particular patient will probably not recover and will pass away before long. I have been doing xrays for almost 2.5 years and I am used to people being very ill. I think it takes a while to deal with knowing a patient you just dealt with will die very soon.
