Remember to thank your EEG Techs/Neurodiagnostic Techs this week!!!
It's Neurodiagnostic Week starting April 20th! This field is still so under appreciated (underpaid) and so many still misunderstand what the job entails. But techs are an important part of the Neurology team. They sit with the patient and talk with them. Even with video - there is a benefit to being able to watch the patient while the test is running. It may seem like it's just slapping on electrodes, but it is NOT. Some cases are very difficult and a good tech knows how to get the test done clearly, with limited impudences. And because they see so many tests everyday - they can be a valuable resource on reading, especially for doctors that do not read EEGs, and have to wait for off-site monitoring providers to read and write up the report.
Anyway, stop and just say thanks to your techs. It is a free way to boost moral and show someone that they are appreciated. Be kind - it goes a long way.
