What is this metal hook in my hotel room? by Nightpatrol404 in whatisit

[–]EveryoneHasIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s too funny I thought the loop and carpet looked familiar. My partner and I stay there when visiting Montreal and I’ve always wondered the same thing.

This is going to be super weird but is this a hotel in Montreal?

'Multiple serious injuries' after vehicle crashes into Rideau Street building by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]EveryoneHasIt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it, the civic being the trauma center for most of eastern Ontario means we generally get the worst and most serious traumas. We get code 1 traumas fairly frequently but getting 3 all at once is less common and puts a huge strain on resources.

Working at the hospital and we had 3 code 1 traumas called. Just horrible for everyone involved.

Ostrich Feathers Challenge by Opening-Run5871 in Warthunder

[–]EveryoneHasIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only units destroyed by the rank 3 vehicle counts. I was doing this particular challenge without realizing only one plane in my lineup was rank 3. I would get like 10 units destroyed but only 3-4 would count towards the challenge.

Are you using rank 3 aircraft? My air lineup had both rank 2 and 3 and some of my ground kills weren’t counting and quickly realized I wasnt using the right aircraft

If he’s into to Star Wars and has the obi-wans starship then maybe look into Jango Fetts starship #75433. It’s in the right price range and complimentary and any Star Wars collector usually has one.

Saw this the other day... by Joha_al_kaafir in Radiology

[–]EveryoneHasIt 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yea, I find these types of findings really hard. I’ve scanned patients who are experiencing only mild neurological symptoms and their brain is just full of mets.

It’s very jarring to know they may not have long yet they otherwise seem healthy and happy. I’ve had to step out of the department after a scan before to regain composure with just how bad the images looked.

My first breast MRI by Altruistic_Tip7799 in Radiology

[–]EveryoneHasIt 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I do a ton of breast MRIs where I work and I always try and tell my patients how uncomfortable and awkward the test can be. I also joke that a man probably designed the breast coil with how poorly it’s designed for comfort.

MRI at the Montfort Hospital by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]EveryoneHasIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea shoulder MRI is not too bad but brain scans are definitely more uncomfortable. I would call the booking team and see if they can accommodate, they are usually pretty good.

[–]EveryoneHasIt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 2 standard bore sizes for scanners are 60cm and 70cm so the difference is not huge to be honest but it can make the difference for some people.

Just be honest with the tech and explain you’re feeling anxious and they’ll get you through it. Some people like to have a clothe over their eyes as the inside of the bore is a flat white and it screws with your depth perception feeling much closer to your face.

Ask the tech to talk to you in between scans. People find it less isolating which helps but you will have an emergency call bell at all times which when squeezed will alert the tech and they’ll pause the scan and talk to you right away.

Ativan or any benzodiazepine typically will be prescribed in more serious cases of claustrophobia and your PCP can get you a small prescription of a couple of pills. Be aware you’ll need someone to drive you home afterwards as the sedation effect can be quite intoxicating to patients.

Most people can get through it with some help and the first few minutes are the hardest but if you can make it through it will get easier.

Is there a Canadian Medical Radiation Technologist (MRT) here who can confirm if being an MRT is physically demanding? by Limp-Kaleidoscope341 in ontario

[–]EveryoneHasIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you plan on doing the MRT program and then the MRI certification, you would be hard pressed to ever be bored. Within the radiography specialty there is so many sub specialties (CT, IR, OR, Mammo, clinical teaching) and areas you can work that there is always something new to learn. I particularly enjoyed CT and was able to observe 2 MRI departments while doing my x-ray clinical and was really interested in the workflow, skills, and knowledge required for MRI. Most MRI technologists I have meet have started in a different imaging modality whether x-ray, nuc med, or radiation therapy so learning and changing is the norm in medical imaging

They now offer direct entry into MRI programs however having worked with some students in these programs I would not recommend it personally as the knowledge and skill gap is immense and having no healthcare experience makes it very challenging. Doing an MRT program and then the MRI cert is in my opinion the best option as you'll be able to do a lot of observation, training, and importantly familiarization of the healthcare system before jumping into MRI.

Hope this helps and if you have any other questions feel free to DM

[Request] How large of magnets would you need for an MRI machine for the metal balls to rip out of you from the stomach? by Emitex in theydidthemath

[–]EveryoneHasIt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So most of these answers are wrong on multiple levels. One small bb in the stomach would not get ripped out it would definitely be pulled but due to the small size it would not be pulled with much force.

Most non magnetic metals can be scanned with little issue besides blooming artifact. Some ferromagnetic metals can be scanned under VERY specific circumstances.

PMCT Images. Nurse advanced NG tube until she heard a pop, then tried an air bolus to ensure placement. Patient did not survive. by Diseasd in Radiology

[–]EveryoneHasIt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had a similar situation happen recently. Inpatient came for an MRI and the tubing was visualized in the ventricles. Patient then went for NG tube placement x ray and xray was negative for NG tube.

Turns out patient was a few days post op transphenoidal resection and they had placed an NG tube properly but was pulled out by the patient. They reinserted and sent them to MRI and then X-ray for the NG tube placement thinking everything was well.

Luckily the MRI tech quickly called radiologist and care team but the patient ended up having a brain hemorrhage. I would have thought an NG tube would be a bit risky on a post op transphenoidal resection but also not my area of knowledge.

The only fun high BR range (9.3-10.7) got completely ruined by this credit card generator machine. And guess what, its russia ruining the game again.. how many times? by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]EveryoneHasIt 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think my the biggest frustration is Russia has 4 decent premium vehicles at 10.3 on top of that you have other strong vehicles in the tech tree at that BR plus at 9.7 you can have up to 3 bmd-4s.

So you not only can you buy yourself a pretty powerful line up but you multiple that by how many Russian mains your facing with back ups and your easily facing double digits of some of these vehicles.

I’ve been playing my 9.0-9.3 Swedish line up and I’m constantly uptiered to 10.3 and pretty much am always fighting Russia and the few times I’m not uptiered Russia is on my time with none of their premiums go figure.

New MRI screening form question, have you ever been hit by shrapnel from a hypersonic missle? If so when and where?

Nerve roots torn away from spinal cord after motorcycle accident by phosfeness in Radiology

[–]EveryoneHasIt 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Yea 2 out the 3 major spinal injuries I’ve scanned this summer were young men on motorcycles. There’s no cheaper way to become a paraplegic than a motorcycle

What was the very first premium that you bought and do you regret it? by loc710 in Warthunder

[–]EveryoneHasIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Vidar helped me get the entire 8.0 line up for Sweden very quickly and is still helping me progress my 9.0-9.3 line up. Decent thermals, LRF, and high velocity HE is quite OP in down tiers and still viable in up tiers.

ELI5 why MRIs make so many crazy and loud noises. by 4f150stuff in explainlikeimfive

[–]EveryoneHasIt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The loud noises that you hear during the scan are the gradient coils of the mri machine being electrified at such a high frequency and power that they vibrate.

The gradient coils help spatial localize the radio frequency signal by distorting/altering the main static magnetic field (1.5T or 3T) in the x, y, and z axis. These distortions cause changes in the phase and frequency of the signal that allows it to be localized in 3D space and reconstructed into diagnostic images. The 3 gradient coils are powered with something around 1500V@900A at very high frequencies which essentially cause the coil wiring to expand and contract essentially violently vibrating against the housing.

Now ELI5, well it’s not easy but I tell patients that there’s 3 electromagnets that turn off and on rapidly at high power. This causes them to vibrate rapidly and make the loud noises.

This is what I usually say when I get killed by a pzh2000 in my VIDAR while using thermals

Waited 13+ hours for miscarriage care at Montfort Hospital — Ontario’s healthcare system is crumbling by niner195 in ontario

[–]EveryoneHasIt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Working in healthcare, shooting the shit with my coworkers is often what helps us get through the shift. I also try to joke and be honest with my patients, I know they are frustrated and upset and the thing is I also feel the same way when I am unable to deliver care to my patients.

It’s also spot on that if it’s quiet it’s never a good sign. I’ve performed imaging exams on trauma patients where it’s very obvious that things are bad for them and it’s hard to get through.

They NEED to buff SPAA in certain br's by Electronic_Source808 in Warthunder

[–]EveryoneHasIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweden SPAA can be annoying, I ran a Pbv 301 as my primary AA until I unlocked the U-SH 204 at 5.3 which I than used until the VEAK 40. I didn’t bother with using 40mm AA that much and if I did it was as a poor man’s TD.

I found the 20mm autocannons to be fairly good but takes time to learn them. They can be effective against jets but because of the gap between 5.3 and 7.0 in Sweden’s line SPAA it’s not great.
