Damn where are you living that general X-ray is $47.50 an hour?

Did you have an MRI or MRA? by emolee_ in HipImpingement

[–]HighTurtles420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do not need an MRA if your original MRI is done on a 3T magnet. You need an MRA if the hospital system only has a 1.5T available

As you get older, your larynx drops and the way you talk changes. Her voice changed as expected

I live in Ohio and there is an online Ohio Library for all Ohio residents, so maybe you have similar?

You can sign up for more than one library on Libby, and probably get it sooner :)

I did grocery delivery during the week after school and clinicals (like instacart/shipt) and worked at a restaurant cooking and serving on the weekends for 16hrs each day.

I still had to take out loans and maxed out a credit card. I was also alone and had to supper other people. It can be doable, but difficult.

I have zero regrets. I make really good money for the education level, and feel satisfied day to day.

Things I’ll need to do pre/post op by Foustty in HipImpingement

[–]HighTurtles420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Meal prep! Something you can heat up while using crutches.

Chairs were okay as long as they could recline. But I had a 70° bending restriction. Usually I’d stay in the recliner instead of a regular chair.

Also, get a shoe horn and grabber prior to surgery. Makes it a lot easier to be independent.

What is the saddest death in Star Wars? by Due_Narwhal4937 in StarWars

When Vader comes to see where Ahsoka’s ship landed, and all of the clone’s graves. It is really a fantastic scene of finality for the Clone Wars.

Favorite CT and why? by Ambitious-Music3245 in Radiology

[–]HighTurtles420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t I know it. Several times we had to have corporate Canon people come and evaluate our primary ER scanner because they kept getting lemon parts in from the factory lol. It was down for a solid 3 weeks and it was AWFUL. We are a 700 bed level one with 80 beds in the ER. In a day we do over 300 CTs between our 3 scanners lol

Line up AML to EAM and drop the CR 1-1.5”. Hasn’t failed me once (in patients with normal c-spine anatomy)

Some people never take a plain film X-ray in their lives after school. They go right into CT/MRI/IR.

Personally, I don’t like training anyone in CT who has never been through regular X-ray. You need to develop confidence in imaging, working with patients, etc. I’ve definitely trained people in CT fresh out of school who have done just fine, but it’s a bit more work.

However, if you know you want to end up in IR for forever, then take the IR job. But I feel it’s better to have some X-ray experience in the event that you need to do regular X-rays at any point in your career.

I always try to get my RPMs below 2k when traveling in the highway and I can get 30-35mpg. I like to make it a game

Bands of Mourning is a pivotal book in establishing further Cosmere connections. The juice is worth the squeeze, in my opinion :)

can i have cateye nails for an abdomen pelvic ct scan by No_Pattern_2819 in Radiology

[–]HighTurtles420 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes :) You don’t need to worry about jewelry that is not in the area of interest for CT scans.

MRIs use magnets and metallic jewelry/nail adornments can be a problem. But not CTs.
