I'm a licensed and registered x-ray technologist.
Although I can see a fracture on an x-ray film
and I can name the type of fracture, this is not my job. My job is to produce an x-ray film of diagnostic quality for the radiologist, and HIS job is to make an official diagnosis. I have no professional or legal right to make a diagnosis,
even though I can see that fracture just like the doctor. Technologists, nurses and therapists cannot diagnose.
