Mozart’s music is like an X ray of your soul. It shows what is there and what isn’t. (Isaac Stern)

Call me a spoilport but if there’s one thing I can’t be doing with it’s all those ridiculous “national day for….” – you know, like National Potato Chip day, National penguin awareness day, National Give a Gorilla Hug day and National Peanut Butter lovers day.

"National give a gorilla hug day" is fine for some individuals

However, there is a notable exception to this rule, and that is coming this Sunday 8th November, when we celebrate “World Radiography Day” – yes I know, two days is a long time to wait and the excitement is building rapidly, especially amongst Radiographers, who account for oh at  least 0.000000000000000000000000000000001 % of the world’s population, and are highly skilled and underpaid individuals who additionally have to suffer the annoyance of having to constantly explain what they do to the unknowing public.

Most of my friends wouldn’t know what I do day to day and my partner even has trouble pronouncing the word radiography, but that probably says more about him than about anything else.

So on Sunday spare a thought for radiographers the world over and next time you meet one don’t ask them what they actually do, but instead stun them by asking if they work in kV or mV. You’ll be flavour of the month. Or they will think you are a total nerd but hey.
