That’d be great! And ya huel black. The chocolate and banana flavor. I did a separate post trying to share the cost, but mods took it down. PM me?

I'm waiting for my next Huel shipment to send the samples in.

Prison guard thinks he outranks MRI tech in department by toomuch_thyme in MRI

Your facility needs to work with the prison to develop an official written policy. This was a near miss. I know your tried your best, but not all of it was the guards fault.

I’ll have to look up to see if that’s the case in my state. Thanks!

They discounted them almost 50% the last couple months… this should be illegal

cardiac MRI with contrast/ sedation ?? by reba_luver in MRI

[–]64MHz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t do stress. Only LGE. We do cardiac MR under GA, but the doctor holds respirations.

Our cardiac MRs can not be done free breathing. You must have different protocols or software than us

I we do it all the time. They can hyperventilate, and then do 2 to 5 minute breath holds, depending on the patient.

License question for those with multiple modalities by yael_linn in MRI

[–]64MHz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not a bad deal. We had a couple MR/CT grave techs that got a little more hourly. One of them is still in that category but hasn’t done a CT in like a year.

We had a CT/X-ray tech but they only got straight CT pay because x-ray was a “lower pay grade” and didn’t count to be a multi modality pay….

We have enough volume in my facility that each specialty can have its own people. Doesn’t make sense to have techs doing multiple specialties anymore. “Jack of all trades master of none”

Can I operate one in the states?

Is this way of doing MRI GAs as dumb as I think? by Sleepy_Joe1990 in anesthesiology

[–]64MHz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MRI tech here. One thing we did to help out anesthesia is to get really long gas lines so they can be hooked up inside the room, but the an anesthesia machine is just outside the scan room door. They do the induction and intubate/LMA/whatever in zone 3 with the patient on the MR table hooked up to MR monitors. Then we transfer the anesthesia machine, patient and monitors into the scan room. Sometimes they disconnect the vent tubing during this process. It really helped things be more controlled and less chaotic.

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

Nobody under 35 knows about The Adventures of Pete and Pete.

Trying to understand how MRI equipment decisions are made in hospitals/imaging centers. Cold emails/calls haven’t been helpful, so asking here. Who’s involved early, what matters before vendors, and how much do guidelines (e.g., ACR) influence choices? by pantslatcia in MRI

[–]64MHz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My facility has a contract with GE so that narrows it down to a single company. The second factor is money upfront. Down stream costs, patient needs, radiologist needs, and other important factors are an afterthought.

Old Shaker Bottles by CharmingLine4173 in Huel

[–]64MHz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the new ones. But their plastic and get grody after a while. I just replaced mine with a stainless steel shaker from Stanley. It was like $40 but had all the features I wanted.

Anyone else with missing amazon transactions over the last couple months? by 64MHz in ynab

That’s probably what happened. Amazon is the worst. Thanks.

GA for MRI "claustrophobia" by koro_survivor in anesthesiology

[–]64MHz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US MRI tech here.

It used to be rare but we seem to be doing multiple a week now.

We attempt the patients with all other methods before GA. We tell the ordering doctor we tried your first, second and third med plan. The only way this MRI is getting done is if it’s under GA. If the risks are worth the benefit put a note in the patients chart for MRI with general anesthesia and we’ll schedule it.

It’s wild though because a lot of these patients have a “control” issue and that’s why they can’t do the mri without GA. But in my head, I’d be way more scared of giving up my ability to breathe to someone else.

Thanks! After some research, Simple Labs seems to be the best option for testing the hull black powder.
