Hold Your Breath, and Breathe: Memoir of an x-ray tech

Hold Your Breath, and Breathe is a dual timeline medical memoir. The tale of the diagnostic imaging technologist is one of many dualities. Of course, there is the wave-particle duality of incident photons, but there is also the precision of the field juxtaposed by the seemingly intuited feel and skilled muscle memory required in emergency scenarios. There are neat and orderly textbooks, and there is the dizzyingly complex reality. There is the routine, and the extreme.
