World Radiography Day is celebrated every year on November 8 to commemorate the discovery of X-radiation, or X-rays. It was on this day in 1895 that German scientist Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen, completed the discovery of X-radiation, X-rays
Radiologists, radiographers, and radiological technologists across the world mark this day to educate the world about the important role played by radiology professionals in the healthcare field and spread knowledge about how radiology contributes to safe patient care in the pandemic of COVID-19.
It is hard to think about celebrating when we may already be struggling with the workload, and fearful of what may be in store. Just take time to remember how each and everyone of you makes a difference in the lives of the people you meet in your day-to-day work. Think about one smile, squeeze of a hand, thank you, snippet of conversation that left you with a warm feeling. You are appreciated, sometimes people are in just too vulnerable a place to share that.
Happy World Radiography Day and Stay Safe!
