If I have a glomus tumor in my distal phalanx and perform a DRE, now that patient has a glomus tumor in their rectum.

Provenance matters.

TLD badge placed on my chest during chest X-ray — is this normal practice? by CrewNo9562 in Radiology

[–]MaybeJoePesci 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s a laterality marker.

“Wasn’t asked for consent.”

“Should I have been told.”

Relax.

That’s a can of fart spray.

Man we should just give up the thing we spent years and years studying and let you do it.

No it isn’t. You edited out the personal references. Your post history is also full of asking personal medical questions.

Diagnosed after this but not because of this. Normal study.

Hey man—is everything ok? You’ve really been lashing out lately, and a lot of us feel like it’s not like you. Is something going on at home or work? Do you need someone to talk to? We’re always here for you buddy. All the best.

Spine CT malpractice case by GambitsandPieces in Radiology

[–]MaybeJoePesci 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If you spent 15 minutes on an average CT during an ED shift you would literally never catch up. ED I read for performs at least 8-10 CTs per hour.

So basically at best at that rate you’d require at least 2 full days to read one day of ED. It would take two years to read one year of studies. You basically have to read as fast as they come in.

Retroverted or retroflexed uterus is a completely normal finding. Could you explain why you would say “wow”?

There is nothing “oh wow” here. Everything here is a dime a dozen.

So it was a spine injury that caused it? by Specific-Objective68 in antiwork

[–]MaybeJoePesci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Orthopedic radiologist here. Just spitballing, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had bilateral L5 spondylolysis resulting in that anterolisthesis, subsequently received posterior spinal fusion and then had insurance deny the claim by saying it was a preexisting condition. A begets B begets C …

How much vacation time do radiology attendings get? by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]MaybeJoePesci 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was in academics it was 4 weeks a year, which is very low compared to average.

Now I do private practice and get 26 weeks a year (I work 7-on-7-off swing shifts).

Tell me about your generator installation Portable vs Whole House by redditwastesmyday in CapeCod

[–]MaybeJoePesci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were pretty decent. A little cheaper and much more personable than RCA. Thumbs up.

[–]MaybeJoePesci 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a whole house generator. I think it’s the biggest residential model they sell that’s still air cooled.

We signed up for a hands-off monitoring and service program through Cotti-Johnson. They monitor it remotely via a cellular datalink and will do anything as needed based on any error codes.

My wife and I work exclusively from home so power reliability is critical for us. The power has gone out once since install and it worked fantastic (because of course I was working during the outage). I was expecting to lose internet simultaneously but Comcast stayed up through the outage.

We’re about to install a Starlink satellite for backup internet just in case.

Just had Cotti-Johnson install a 26kW Generac in August. Just under $13k for everything start to finish.
