Here's the deal: I am an MRI student doing an internship on a GE 1.5T magnet. I mistakenly scanned a person (shoulder, about 15-20 min) without ear plugs or headphones. She complained to me personally and said that she should have had protection. I agreed. I am considering this a huge deal. Am I overreacting? I obviously know that hearing protection is a basic requirement for scanning and that significant damage can occur to the patient. In the heat of the day, I just got distracted and it slipped my mind. Is this an offense that can result in me getting fired?
