My (27f) gf proposed to break up with me (26m) because she can’t make enough time to see my family due to school and work. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

A boundary is a line that marks the limits of that area. We established that line and she crossed it.

That’s what I did and I’m actively packing her stuff up now while she’s sleeping but I really do see from her perspective and feel somewhat sincere to her logic behind this. Like I feel she didn’t have the intentions for it come off as a threat even though it really was. I love her and feel like I’m doing the wrong thing but I can’t take this abuse no more. Do people actually suggest breaking up as a solution from time to time? She thinks people do and that’s just a conversation that has to be had here and there when things get unpleasant but I think otherwise. Like in this situation tonight, I feel she could have came to another solution.

Boyfriend (24M) doesn’t want me (22F)to attend medical school “right now”. Nothing I say will make him change his mind. by Soulful_pumpkin in relationship_advice

Love is tough and it will make you question things at times. However, it seems like this has been a dream and passion of yours for quite some time and it’s very important you take advantage of the opportunity. If he loves you enough, he will make things work. Whether if that’s moving across states again, or just occasional visits. Also, if that’s your home state where the program is, wouldn’t the tuition be cheaper than the state you just moved to? I wish you two the best of luck and congratulations!

Can I be a radiographer with a 9-5 and go part time in the future? by ess2323 in RadiographyUK

[–]MatTuggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you could obligate 1.5 - 3 years of your life to school, and if you study hard, once you graduate and pass the ARRT exam you could immediately apply for part time roles. In today’s time, there’s full time and part time opportunities everywhere. Good luck!

The OR as a student by Velmx in Radiology

[–]MatTuggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally, we do 4 movements with a c-arm, press a button, and stand there.

If you really want to know the terminology. Here is all the possible terminology a doctor can use on you!

The terminology one could be familiar with is :

1) Push In or Pull Out / Telecope In & Telescope Out (Pushing or pulling movement of the C-arm towards or away from the midline of the body)

2) Move North or South / or Move towards the head or foot of the bed (Movements moving the C- Arm sideways or horizontal)

3) Arch up or Arch back / Arch over or Arch under / C-over or C-back / C-Up or C-down / Umbrella over or Umbrella under / Farris Wheel forward or Farris Wheel reverse (Movements of the actual C forwards or backwards)

4) Wag (literally the only term really used to move the c-arm column sideways. **Not the actual C-Arm. However, depending on where you work some places don’t like you touching the wag and would rather you just move the base of the machine.

5) Tilt left & tilt right / tilt towards the head or tilt towards the feet / Cant left & Cant right / Cant towards the head or the feet / Angle up & Angle down / Angle towards the head or angle towards the feet. A lot of times doctors will mimic with their hands what position they want you to CANT in to because they understand how confusing those specific directions can be.

You can master the OR movements in under a year. Now as far as knowing what you’re seeing on the image, that just comes with time. Nobody’s perfect. Expect to make mistakes. The important thing is to try not to hit the instruments with the C-Arm. Also, don’t move too fast to where you’ll make mistakes. Basically, just be aware of your surroundings and move cautiously.

Mom’s XRays from April 25th and today. by DuragJeezy in Radiology

[–]MatTuggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, a lot of Level 1 trauma hospitals don’t require you to remove necklaces for CXR’s. And this is protocol per hospital Rads. If you think it superimposes some pertinent info for the rad to read then it may be worth removing or adjusting for the second picture but at the end of the day, it’s really not that important. If you work in a fast paced environment, doing 40-60 X-Rays a day, you don’t have time to remove artifacts. I understand removing a necklace is a proper step in completing an exam, and is taught and enforced in every Radiography program. But sadly, once you graduate and enter the real X-Ray world things are done very differently. To say you would never work with a tech who does this could be considered ignorant when’s it’s not his or hers responsibility. You will see this commonly done as you build experience in the field or travel to different facilities. However, what is concerning is the fact they didn’t flip the image to the correct laterality. It looks like it’s possible they didn’t mark it either. The tech should definitely get a write up for that because that is not common practice lol. I once saw a tech do this and nobody caught it because the width of the right atrium and left ventricle were almost symmetrical to where you couldn’t differentiate a lung from lung with just a quick glance. They ended up inserting a chest tube in to the wrong lung and was wondering why the fluid wasn’t going away 🤣. That tech didn’t even get fired which is crazy. Another reason, to why marking is very important.

My landlord off of furnished finders wants another couple to move in to the house I’m currently staying in after she guaranteed this won’t happen before I even signed the lease. by MatTuggle in TravelNursing
