Dear Kim,
I didn't mean that you have tickets on yourself. Gosh, I don't even
know you and I'm sure you're very nice.
I just think it would sound sorta snobby if someone (me included) was to
say 'I'm a 'medical imaging practitioner' in response to the question
'What do you do for a job?'.

Tony
I am proud to be a Radiographer and a member of The Australian
Institute of
Radiography. When asked what I do for a living I reply "I am a
Radiographer". I often then am asked for more information which I do
not
hesitate to provide. Our's is a wonderful profession offering great
opportunities. I offerred my last comment in the spirit of the discussion
as a 'title' which would be all encompassing for all the modalities of our
diverse profession. I do not consider myself as an elitist nor as a
person
with 'tickets on myself' and regret that my remarks were misinterpreted
as
such.
Regards
Kim

Dear Dieter,
You may not be aware but this topic has been vigorously discussed (to
death)
over
many years.
At an AGM a about 3 years ago the AIR voted to stick with the terms
radiographer and
radiation therapist, even though we are called something different
under
various
awards. I thin that the AIR waqs right and personally I can't see
anything
wrong with
those titles. I'm happy to be called a radiographer, as I believe are the
majority of
radiographers. The only objection I have is when people get
radiographers
and
radiologists mixed up (although I would mind if the pay office did that).
I think that ultimately 'you are what you are' no matter what you're
called.
Stop worrying
about nomenclature and get on doing what you do really, really well. Be
proud to be a
radiographer.
Tony
