Just was hoping you guys would keep me in your prayers on Friday. I have been studying prereqs for 2 1/2 years and am applying for Radiology school at a well known Hospital University in Philly. I have a 4 hour interview tomorrow, most of which I assume will be spending time in various radiological areas throughout the hospital.... ie, X ray, ultrasound, MRI, CT Scan, etc.....

The best part is, almost three years ago I was homeless. Living on the streets mostly, occasionally staying with a friend if I could find one that I hadnt burned in the past. I, one day at a time, have overcome alcoholism and drug addiction. Thats kind of another story, but I feel its important to the prayer request I ask of you all.

My dream since I was a little kid was to help people in a hospital setting. Since I was breaking bones and tearing muscles regularly because of my ice hockey and wrestling background in grade school and HS, I had alot of encounters with X ray and MRI techs. I felt they made a difference to a scared little kid and have always wanted to repay the favor as well as make a living doing that job. My only problem was I didnt intend to become addicted to drugs and alcoholism. Thank God I never got a felony, so I am still able to work in a setting such as the medical profession.... I am nervous as hell, and cant believe this is actually happening... I have accumulated a 3.2 GPA these past 5 semesters and believe that affords me a great opportunity to be accepted.....

Thanks guys,
Maxxxxx

Arent radiologists riddled with cancer and mutations due to the X-ray exposure? The last radiologist that took my xray had 3 eyes, he told me the best thing was not having to wear 3D glasses at the movies, 3D was natural for him. He quit radiology and is now umping in the minors he's got 20-20-20 vision. GL

Maxxx, you're the perfect example of why drugs should be decriminalized to the point where they don't put a drug user in jail. Instead, they should offer treatment.

If you had been arrested for drug use (thank goodness you weren't) you may have spent some time in jail. If alternative solutions to drug addictions would provide treatment instead of jail time then people like you have a chance to make something with their lives.

Sorry to get on my soapbox.

Good luck on your interview.

Best wishes and sincere hope that you are able to attend the radiology school. Creating a real career that allows you to do what you have always wanted to do is something many strive for but few achieve..


Best of luck, wil...:toast:
