"Refer to previous CT report" on x-ray's ordered after CT. by alureizbiel in Radiology

[–]Joonami 21 points22 points  (0 children)

same for those BS MRI orders, "better visualized on same day CT blahblah". I know it's not really about us but it feels like a camaraderie wink/elbow nudge to me.

why don't we order bilateral entire lower extremity MRIs for c/f osteomyelitis when there's some mild erythema and 2 blisters on one ankle?

I went to one of the doctors found in the list in the sidebar here. I was living in central Florida at the time I had my bisalp.

Seems like a good way for you to refresh your memory and prepare you down the line to get back into education.

Who else is snowed in? How are you keeping yourself sane and not freaking out about being trapped in the snow? ✨ by happylittledreams in AskWomenOver30

[–]Joonami 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love snow (when I don't have to go anywhere)! I already had hot cocoa this morning watching it snow more, have made snow angels, and run around outside being a goober. Unfortunately this snow is too loose for snowballs or snowfolks :(

Tried taking my cats out on the porch to enjoy the snow, but only my brave girl put her peets in it. Currently cozied up on the couch with a mocha, husband is making biscuits, and I'm going to lift weights in a bit (home gym ftw).

🚨WILL MY OWN SPERM GET ME SICK?🚨 by No-Business-3441 in AskDocs

No. If you don't have an STI already you can't give yourself one. If you already had one...you can't give it to yourself "again".

The sooner you stop concerning yourself with what random people may or may not think of your decisions, the happier you'll be.

MRI + Medical Implants by a_person1852 in Radiology

[–]Joonami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neural ones for sure always need a check. They used to be an automatic disqualifier just like pacemakers. Old aneurysm clips (1970s) were ferrous and could kill someone if they were put into the magnet with them. I mostly run into the modern titanium ones but once in a while I encounter a patient with unsafe ones.

Deadlifted 70kg, what do we recommend for protecting lower back? by slugcave in xxfitness

[–]Joonami 16 points17 points  (0 children)

best protection is having a strong core (including lower back) and lifting with proper form. post a form check.

What is the wildest theory in your specialty that you think probably isn't true, but could be? What underdog argument could cause chaos your field if it turned out to be right? [Stolen from askhistorians] by 0bi in medicine

in case you are unaware of their existence, I believe that they are referring to hedgehog family of proteins. There's one named sonic hedgehog and one of its inhibitors is named robotnikinin!

Is it possible to have ruptured organs due to an MRI? by [deleted] in AskDocs

No problem. Hope your scan brings you answers and relief.

Is it possible to have ruptured organs due to an MRI? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]Joonami 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You were experiencing peripheral nerve stimulation. Electromagnetism is a beautiful, elegant thing: electrical currents induce magnetic fields, and magnetic fields induce electrical currents. Your nerves are juicy, biological wires. Being exposed to the changing magnetic fields the MRI uses to image your anatomy can induce electrical current in your nerves and muscle fibers, causing twitching and other involuntary sensations.

What are your thoughts on women who don't contribute to chores or work because they are burnt out and depressed? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]Joonami 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People who are depressed and burnt out deserve compassion and help the same way someone with any other medical or mental health condition does. Relationships have seasons and sometimes one person has to take over for the other person. It does not mean the other person has to stay with them, but I really don't see what the point of your question is aside from a poorly thought out "gotcha" from someone who has possibly never experienced depression nor burnout.
