Welcome to our online chat tonight. Have you had a possitive experience with someone introducing themselves..or was it lacking?
Start a new post..or reply to a topic you want to continue. Refresh your screen and lets see where the ‘talking’ goes tonight. If you are a woman, someone working in mammography or just interested..please lurk or take part. Let us know how it was for you. Thank you for taking part. Julie
September 7, 2016 at 6:57 pm #1661I might start in a controversial way. The best experience I had was from a mammo who was very professional but did not communicate with me at all except to tell me where to stand and what to do. I had every confidence in her assertive manner!

September 7, 2016 at 7:02 pm #1667THanks Lesley..is that a good thing? An assertive manner?
September 7, 2016 at 7:03 pm #1669Did the assertive manner make you feel nervous? Tense?

September 7, 2016 at 7:03 pm #1675No it gave me the confidence that she knew exactly what needed to be done. That’s what I need when I go for a mammo

September 7, 2016 at 7:06 pm #1687Do you think it’s just us three on here?

September 7, 2016 at 7:06 pm #1689I think a professional manner is important and does inspire confidence but I think introducing yourself is also very important
September 7, 2016 at 7:06 pm #1691THast’s great. So is it the manner of the health professional that gives you confidence in their skills? DId you feel you have control of the proceedure?
September 7, 2016 at 7:08 pm #1693She might have introduced herself but that’s not the lasting impression (I’ve forgotten what her name is even if she did tell me). I didn’t particularly feel in control but I didn’t mind. I wanted her to be in control. Is that a bad thing?

September 7, 2016 at 7:09 pm #1695Thats is good. The assertiveness is due to the very precise way we like to see the breast images. We have to think about the nipple, the pec, lateral medial borders and many more all within 6 mins!

September 7, 2016 at 7:09 pm #16974 so far Lesley
September 7, 2016 at 7:09 pm #1699Can I ask was this your first mammo?Do you think you would have felt the same if this was your first time?
I am a Mammographer and I always find ladies need some level of connection, be it a smile or sometimes more. In our role I believe we become skilled in ‘reading’ what a lady needs. Even if like in your case it is to be a minimal professional approach. What does others think?Kerry
