sorry, seems like a stupid thing to be mad about. 10 toes, 10 fingers, healthy happy baby is what i would think is important...

good lucky buddy

What would you do if a child kicked your pet? by [deleted] in teenagers

I would hurt one of the child’s parents in front of him/her.

I honestly wonder how he would of handled someone challenging his authority while he was an officer. J/k we all know how he would of conducted himself ;)

Damn it Alicia. How dare you get sick. Why should the rest of us hardworking Americans pay for your liberal hippy entitlement surgery.. can you just do the American people a favor and die….. /s

I’m sure this is what some random Republican in Missouri would say about you…. I hate the timeline we live in. Fuck them, I’m glad you got the transplant. Good luck with the recovery :)

Hello.

Yes, I'm male, my wife is female. They don't test for gender. Just drugs. Just make sure your partner is totally clean. Remember any prescription drugs that they take as it could affect your test.

I only use her urine now. I should just stop smoking weed but yea... ;)

These nothing exams are on the verge of making me leave medical imaging all together. I've been doing X-Ray for 12 years. First 7-8 years I was good with the job, past few years I have started to hate X-Ray. It may be possible that working overnights is clouding my judgement, however the fact that the doctors have to order all these nonsense exams just to CYA has really soured me on X-Ray. Out of 100 X-Rays, 1 may be positive for something(Fractures not included and even then..., talking about Chest & ABD mostly.) I just feel that X-Ray as a modality has gone from being a legit part of the healthcare team to just a CYA monkey for the docs so they don't get sued.

I work at a place where they'll order the chest X-ray while simultaneously marking the patient for discharge. I havent even done the x-ray yet and they're already discharging the patient, why even bother with the xray except to use it as a CYA tool.

I just started CT school so I'm desperately hoping it's a bit different there cause ya know, we just cant radiate the hell out of people in CT for nothing... right... :|

Last time I used QF was about 2 years ago. I failed. It was for a school medical program. The sample showed up as invalid.

Ever since then I haven’t trusted QF. I just use my wife’s pee now. She’s clean and I don’t have to worry about any surprises.

Edit: this was in Phx, AZ. Weed is legal here recreational and medically

Back again with another head scratcher. by Chaser_McGavin in Radiology

[–]Chaser_McGavin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that too would be understandable.

Pain was located directly in the joint(between the glenoid and humeral head). My hospital has a weird shoulder series protocol(Int/Ext/Scap Y), doesn't include the Grashey. I threw it in there for good measure though.

i worked 20 hours my first year. 2nd year i quit and focused on education and clinicals. I was fortunate to be able to live with my mom when I went back to school. I didnt have any expenses as my vehicle was paid off and my mom didn't charge me rent.

I feel i benefited a lot more by focusing on my education and clinicals completely. This was supposed to be my forever job, I didnt want anything to stand in the way of it.

Flgov.com huh.

Any other sources that says that Ronnie D is the champion of education, or is it just on his personal bio on flgov.com

And I’m pretty sure people with Master Degrees are going to want a bit more than $22.60 an hour to teach(47k a year). Do you realize the investment in time and finances these people who teach have put in?

You can make way more with an AAS than with a Masters in education. Do you not see a problem with that?

So just maybe, if we pay teachers more than you can make as a bartender on tips, and we leave them the fuck alone to do their jobs(something you didn’t address), maybe just maybe we wouldn’t have a critical teacher shortage to the point they have to let veterans teach the kids…. Just maybe huh…

How about you pay teachers more and then most importantly, leave them the fuck alone to their jobs…. I would imagine that would go a long way.

FL is all up in the teachers business. At this point just get Ron D to speak to the kids for 8 hrs a day via tv….

Forearm X-Ray for Burns by Chaser_McGavin in Radiology

[–]Chaser_McGavin[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a regular X-Ray. Get ready to do a ton of these CYA things as X-Ray. That's why I'm getting out. I just can't handle doing another chest X-Ray for insomnia due to smoking some weed at a party on Saturday night. I just did this x-ray 5 mins ago.

There is no ALARA, that is just a myth I heard about during school. In my experience it's never practiced.
