Someone Photographing Bones Cannot Just Imagine What Sufferance Is, Surely?"

Have you ever considered a career change or thought of what career you would like to pursue after finishing your education? There is a worldwide shortage or radiographers. The UK Government and the United Nations are trying to address this issue and have instituted a World Radiography Day on November 8th of each year.

Particularly in the UK, the Government are looking at ways of raising the status of what it is to be a radiographer so as to make it an attractive career opportunity. Ninety per cent of diagnostic procedures involve the services of a radiographer. The delay in the medical chain of diagnostics means a hold-up in dispensing medical care to the patient.

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 profile of radiographers is to receive a new boost, as author George Korankye, himself a radiographer, has penned a fictional book based on the real life events of the tragic Dunblane incident from 1996 when 16 school children and a teacher lost their lives in an unprovoked attack.

International-megastar Johnny Nash has given permission for his song title "I Can See Clearly Now the Rain is Gone" to be used for George Korankye's fictional work. The chef character of the novel is, for the first time ever, a radiographer.

The tragedy in the novel centres around a radiographer, caught up in a situation so terrible that it couldn't be contemplated, and everyone involved is stretched to the limit of their skills and their emotions. From the pits of despair the story reveals how a group of professionals, at the fictional Bonnyholly Hospital, deal with a once in a lifetime major incident of unbelievable horror, they will experience the gamut of all human emotions.

With the full backing of Richard Evans, the Chief Executive of the Society and College of Radiographers, George Korankye received support in circulating news of the tome. The novelist was glad to hear that Mr Evans praised him for working on bringing about a change to the public's perception of what a radiographer actually does.

"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.

As a matter of importance, radiographers are a most important part of the medical team when it comes to various procedures, such as urology and orthopaedic.

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.
