Trista A. Raymer, RT(R)(CT)(MR) I work as the Team Leader in the MRI Department. We are a pediatric hospital caring for newborns to the age of 21. The work in a pediatric hospital can become chaotic due to difficult sedations, difficult IV starts, and children can be unpredictable. Staying on schedule rarely happens. I do enjoy working with the children, their parents and the nursing staff. My goal for the future is to continue learning the new advancements in MRI technology. |

Kevin L. Rush, MHA, RT(R)(T) It's always funny when you have to write these things about yourself ... but here goes: I have 14 years of experience as a radiation therapist, and I am currently serving as the Administrative Director of the Radiation Oncology Centers of Bloomington Hospital in Bloomington, Ind. I have been in this position for approximately two-and-a-half years, and it has been exciting time. Shortly after my arrival in the beginning of 2005, we initiated and major overhaul of both centers by brining in new treatment machines capable of IMRT and IGRT, a new treatment planning system and a new record and verify system. Given that we’re a community hospital, it is quite amazing what we've been able to accomplish by implementing the latest technology. I am constantly witness to the fact, however, that no matter how great the technology, without wonderful folks to run it, the technology is useless. As the old commercial use to say: "In a world of technology, people make the difference." |
