I’ve been wanting to talk to someone on the “inside”
I had just graduated from an ultrasound program when the pandemic started kicking off. For a variety of reasons (the vax requirement being primary) I have not sought out employment in the field.
Since you travel to many different locations you are the perfect person to ask.
1) what is your sense of the job market for ultrasound techs (cardiac or general) these days? Are the hospitals still using Covid as an excuse to cut staff and try to squeeze the remaining techs in order to save money. I have read accounts online of overworked skeleton crew teams.
2) what is your sense of the attitude towards the vaccines among ultrasound techs? I know nearly all doctors are incentivized to toe the party line, along with a good majority of nurses, but I wonder if maybe there might be more freedom to think independently among techs “lower” on the hospital hierarchy.

At some point we're going to need you and your skill set . . . . but many of the "doctors" might need to die off before the way will be clear, sadly.
