X-ray Technician

Duties and Responsibilities:X-ray techs combine bits of several professions into their job descriptions.

Another similarity with nurses is that x-ray techs primarily collect and deliver data to physicians; technologists are expressly forbidden from talking to patients about the results of their scans, or giving them any form of diagnosis. Skilled technologists may be able to spot breaks, hernia, and other problems in images, but are duty-bound to report these findings to a doctor for interpretation and action.

When You Tell One Lie

When you tell one lie, it lead to another
So you tell two lies to cover each other
Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,
You're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you
Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you
Then you tell six lies and you'll collect
A life filled with worries and fears

'Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told
And half the things you say aren't true
And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up and the
Whatever will become of you?

So you lie without even trying
And each lie you tell will keep multiplying
'Till the whole wide world will know you're lying
Then you'll be
Suspected
Detected
Rejected
Neglected
Dislike
And you lie, you're closing the door
On everything good

I think he is saying the truth about physical and intellectual should getinvolve i some kinda of physical activity because obesity is a big problem not only in the us but i think in each of us is the decision to be healthy.

Student Success Statement

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basic of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy ans strong.
President John F. Kennedy

I think it means physical activity is not the only thing to maintain a healthy body intellectual activity is the other part to have a full healthy body.
