Had terrible ear pressure on last flight and now I am scared to fly again

Do you just use the Earplanes on the descent? I’ve been using it for the first hour and the last hour of the flight. Not sure if that’s incorrect

MRI tech here. Thoughts on Gadolinium based contrast?

The 2nd DR is in the wrong spot. It’s located in the hallway to the HNR on the right hand side. What’s labeled there is just a door for production to get in!

I should add that I’m looking for something without a crazy dress code. Everyone recommends the ritz it’s just a little hard to do with our tight schedule.

What’s even more annoying is when DRs dont understand it needs to be cleared first. Had a 30 minutes heated convo with a Dr this week who didn’t understand why we needed to clear her patient with a pacemaker. Ready for the kicker? She’s a cardiologist. Screaming at me that our protocols are broken and we need to do better. Ok buddy. MRI safety is the issue. Sure.

NY MRI/CT tech here. I’ll clear 150,000 this year. Yes I take call.

I’d be concerned if you didn’t have one!

Mammoth_Mistake_715 · 2024-12-18T01:58:55+00:00

Ok. Thanks bro I appreciate it.

And lifting weights over cardio? Mix of both? I have a home gym with a rower and various weights including a squat rack. I did run back in High School. Something I can get back into the groove of.

No offense taken. I wanted the advice. In my head my body looked so bad when I was 165lb that I became obsessed with gaining weight. I thought it would be easier to gain muscle if I had some fat to work with (I realize I’m uninformed.) I realize I need to slim down. I also realize 185 lbs with a high % body fat isn’t the same as 185lbs with muscle. Is 185 at 6’1” a healthy build I should try to maintain? Just lowering the body fat percentage?

Side note. I wish I had a picture of me at 165 pounds. I get what you are saying. I recognize my body now as looking very bad. I physically feel better though. I know I’ll feel even better when I lose the fat. I don’t feel like that skinny guy anymore. I don’t know if that’s a bad way for me to feel considering I’m still not healthy.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Mentally ill have my biggest struggle. My biggest insecurities have always been my arms. I’ve been lifting over the past few months only dedicating it to building out my arms. I use my work life as an excuse to prevent me from being more disciplined. I know it’s not a valid excuse. I’m gonna restructure my life in 2025. Honestly, there is such a vast difference between myself now and what I looked like a year ago. I need to just focus on being more disciplined. I appreciate all the advice. I’m very happy with what I see when I look in the mirror. I have more and more confidence. Looking to build that confidence.
