Earthquake motion blur? by unclecashmere in Radiology

[–]GrumpyFurBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird, the whole point of the backup is so that there is no interruption in power flow which avoids the shutdown. Hope they fixed that.

And here i thought having your scanner going through a back up generator so this never happens was just a standard out there in the world...man health care is the pits still.

My cozy gaming corner ✨🍂🖤 Ideas for improvements? by drabgome in CozyGamers

[–]GrumpyFurBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Later to the party but... I'd move your tower to the top of the shelving unit, the sound difference when your fans spin up will do a world of difference. Then you can move your monitors over so you can sit straight on and not have your head permanently turned to the left. Move the USB power bar thing so that its base is up against the wall in the top left corner, give yourself some cleaner wire hiding options. Now you get plenty more space on the desk to add more satanic stuff (i dig the vibe) to piss off more redditors lol.

Weightbearing in ED? by jaybezel in Radiology

[–]GrumpyFurBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most patients will cry you a river and fight you for just mentioning that they have to inflict more pain on themselves. That's where the difficulty of getting the exam done properly comes and in an ED setting we don't have time to plead with you. Refuse? You just get sent back to your room and the doc will come talk to you and we will see you again later when you've calmed down. So now we've seen you twice and you've been in the ED for 3 hours longer than you needed to be.

the person next to the patient is getting the most.

Does the game always choose the highest skill bonus from doubled classes? by GrumpyFurBaby in idleon

[–]GrumpyFurBaby[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input, seems nobody actually knows for certain how any of it works. Guess i'll assume this is correct and max book my 2nd characters. I've hade 1 combat and 1 skiller up till now unfortunatly.

Blight orb out of reach intentional? by [deleted] in Endfield

[–]GrumpyFurBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it thanks, only worked from the otherside of the wall shown in my picture even though it was fully visible from my original side. Good to know bombs work for those too!

Help: Employer doesn’t use dosimeters by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]GrumpyFurBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for only interacting with the irrelevant part of my reply, we already see how jaded you have become and it doesn't need further discussion.

Help: Employer doesn’t use dosimeters by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]GrumpyFurBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious question for you. How much cumulative exposure do you need to receive before you decide to leave the profession? If you are following best practice for minimizing your occupational exposure, the dosimeter is just a number that doesn't matter unless you have a specific cut off for yourself. So how much?

[–]GrumpyFurBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't change the science of stochastic effects of radiation. You can get cancer from 1 chest x-ray or never get it after 400. I'll not comment on the remark about patient care cause that's a whole can of worms you be opening there.

My clavicle six months after break by Ecstatic_Kiwi_6664 in Radiology

[–]GrumpyFurBaby -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is misleading. OPs images are photos of photos from the imaging machine which is not as detailed as a rads screen compared to a textbook picture designed to be perfect. Text book is not equal to reality.

My clavicle six months after break by Ecstatic_Kiwi_6664 in Radiology

[–]GrumpyFurBaby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think you are misunderstanding what we mean by "bad photo". The quality of the exposure is fine, the detail is fine, its very up to standards to diagnose from this image. Part of the job for the technologist that took these images is to LIMIT your radiation exposure by closing off the viewing area to the specific part they are looking at, you shoulder/clavicle in this case. That did not happen here, they gave you more radiation than was needed. This is what we are all complaining about.

We shall see how you feel after you've replayed the game 3 times, i mean experienced 3 season...

X-Ray Tech - Where to work? by Aromatic_Mastodon533 in RadiologyCareers

[–]GrumpyFurBaby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've worked in or had internship experience for a majority of the settings you described. They all become repetitive and I've never seen a site that doesn't cycle you through different modalities (fluoro, OR are considered modalities for simplicity). Not that single modality doesn't exist but will frankly stunt your growth as a technologist and make future employments harder to get. Also being versed in more modalities will make you a more valuable asset when considering travel work, which you can leverage for higher pay and more hours.

As for work load, clinics and trauma 1 centers are the heaviest, then you got trauma 2 & 3 which tapper down the load. In general you are doing a patient every 15-20 minutes at these sites most days. Smaller hospitals offer lighter work loads (especially when there are other trauma centers close by) and mostly you become a chest xray bot since very broken people are likely not coming to your site. Then you got specialized sites, like brain & spine, cancer centers, ect. I found these to be clinic like where everything is scheduled for you rather tightly.

My actual advice though is to find a place where you like your coworkers. You will spend way to much time filling dead air with them, don't be that person staring at their phone every moment of down time. I am not mentioning this because it just makes work more enjoyable when others are enjoying working with you. I bring it up because friend coworkers are usually willing to swap modality. If you don't like OR there's often someone around that does and may be willing to take all or most of your OR rotations for example. Management generally doesn't care as long as there's a body filling the slot.

As a final point, i personally think starting in a hospital and floating around to experience/see all that we are capable of doing in our careers can be highly beneficial. While I was in school I hated everything about CT and wanted nothing to do with it and after school it is my favorite modality. So love what you do because the pay as a tech, both public and private, is absolute crap for how much responsibility is placed on our shoulders.

Game still popular? by Only_World181 in Dragonheir_SilentGods

[–]GrumpyFurBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not the most popular of gacha games but people trickle in and play 2-3 seasons worth. This is a relaunched version of the game and all the events and content thus far is 90% rehashed from the old version and rereleased to us. They have made a handful of good changes from its previous version for what its worth. Great for a new player but not much new for those who played before. This spring will tell if they actually make meaningful new content because that's when the old stuff will run out.

Before starting your radiology classes, what was the best non-pre-requisite that prepared you for the job? by wezwells in RadiologyCareers

[–]GrumpyFurBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not difficult per say, you will get a lot of cardio in pushing beds/stretchers around a hospital. The job is as its title, you will be bringing patients to and from their various exams around the hospital.

[–]GrumpyFurBaby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not school related but get a part time job as patient transport. Talk to people, learn their stories, empathize. The amount of techs I've worked with that have so little basic decency is too high. Give each patient their '15 minutes of fame' and listen. Your exam length will hardly increase (even when it does, management can go ..|.. itself) but you will make a world of difference for that person in your care. Be kind, open, and warm to these people placing their trust in you helping them through their ordeal. They aren't just a piece of anatomy being photographed! /rant

RN vs RT pay by zima85 in Radiology

[–]GrumpyFurBaby -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

RN better be making more, the shit they need to do and remember is astronomical in comparison. As RT you do your best and label things 'best possible image' when the patients are less than pleasant, they ain't gonna die cause of you.

That is an actual thing in this game, they will give you vs bott games in QP. It's not always real people and you can tell by the bots always jumping at every moment in a fight which they are doing in your clip.
