A radiographer has described how she was shocked at suggestions that she could not identify an elbow from a knee on a X-ray scan. Zambian-native Kashimbo Musonda said she was treated as somebody “who had just come out of the bush” and had just decided to read X-ray scans. Ms Musonda was dismissed from her post as a radiographer at University Hospital Waterford on March 10th last year after just two and a half weeks in the post. She began work in Waterford on February 20th, 2017 and was relieved of her duties on March 10th. She described suggestions that she had over-exposed some X-rays as “very wrong and false”.
