    Neurodiagnostic tech here. There is barely any sort of government regulation around neurodiagnostics in general. You can hire a kid out of high school to do our job as long as they take a basic life support class. Often times we’re doing work that has major impacts on the patient’s future, whether that’s preparation for epilepsy surgery, determination of brain death, or just quantification and classification of seizures in very sick patients in the ICU. However the Texas state Senate decided that arguing about where someone should be allowed to pee was more important than licensure for neurodiagnostics.

      The avarege conservative’s monkey brain won’t vote for something that makes actual sense. They’ll only vote for some ideological religios bs no one else cares about.
