US won’t come in if pain >12hrs

[u/Former_Bill_1126]

Working at a new site, US techs are very picky, will not come in for torsion studies if pain is >12hrs. I talked her into coming in and she’s pissed af, said she knows I’m new and “I’ll learn the protocol”.

Am I in the wrong?

Edit: Does anyone support the US tech or rad protocol and do you have any studies or evidence to support this practice? I’m just wondering if they pulled this out of their ass or where they got the arbitrary 12 hour thing?

Your job isn't to negotiate with techs. If that's indeed the protocol, then get it changed or leave. If it's not, then tell her to come in.

This is the answer.
