Pros and Cons of being a Cytotechnologist – Part Two
This blog is continued from the previous blog.
Continuing on from the previous blog these are more positive aspects to being a cytotechnologist. A job as a cytotechnologist can help many to feel that they are making a difference in the lives of others. Cytotechnologists are part of the healthcare system, and can help improve healthcare for others. A cytotechnologist can have input into the way they do their jobs, something that certainly many employees of other fields do that feel that they have.
There are also several cons to being a cytotechnologist, as there are to any profession. Cytotechnologists often feel that they are not respected by the physicians who rely on the tests that the cytotechnologists perform. Cytotechnologists also don’t get much recognition from patients, the physicians are the ones interacting with the patients and getting most of the respect. On the other hand, when patients are unhappy with their health care, physicians are the ones who often get blamed, so cytotechnologists can enjoy their relative anonymity in those circumstances. Many cytotechnologists do not feel that they are paid enough relative to what others in the health care profession are paid. Being a cytotechnologist can sometimes be stressful when too high of a work load is placed on the shoulders of one person. When a cytotechnologist has too much work to do, they often aren’t able to complete each test with the amount of care that they would like.
All in all, being a cytotechnologist can be a rewarding career for many, although, like with any profession, those who choose to go into the field should research it adequately so they know what they are getting into.
