“I Try To Avoid Road Rage”: Medical Professional Wants People To Stop Doing These Dangerous Things

Your job changes you. Or at the very least, it contributes to shaping your perspective on the world. Nuclear medicine technologist from Texas, Reed Rummel, has been working in high-pressure environments and has seen firsthand what happens when things go wrong.

So, to remind the internet not to put themselves in unnecessarily risky situations, Reed started creating a (mini) video series. In these clips, he reveals the non-negotiables he has learned from his hospital experience.

From seemingly inconsequential decisions to bad, bad habits, these mistakes can cost a lot. And there’s no rewind button in life.
