As for injections go, I feel the states that do not allow the photographer to push the dye are lobbied by the nurses due to fear of not having jobs. Whereas states that allow it don't seem to have a problem. I would not work in a state that did not let me do my own sticks and be able to push the dye and having to rely on someone else. I would never get anything done. Why have a photographer when you could have the nurse just do it all? Something to think about.
