Honestly - RO's - well I am sure some are great but mostly I think they are mathematicians - and have minimal personality. My guy was a very quiet and stoic fellow (he was a young asian guy) I was upset because he had missed something on a scan and I kept asking him questions about it he just kind of blew it off - wanting to forget about it. Then he suggested that I talk to a therapist about my anxiety. I wasn't anxious - I was upset about the fact that he almost missed something that would have had my back in the hospital within a year or two with a potential recurrence.

We talked and cleared the air but he's not even remotely warm, or approachable. He told me at one point on one of my follow up check ups that "oh you were really upset and having a tough time of it" are you kidding me?????? I drove myself daily and while it was horrible I was doing okay compared to most.

I had considered requesting a change of ROs at the end, but then I figured - 1) it's over and done with and as long as he does his job I'm good. 2) in order to be hired at this hospital he's got to be amazing at what he does (so all that really matters is he knew where to aim that beam)

Don't let him intimidate you - ask your questions.

hugs.
