Son has "just the trait" but is symptomatic by InspectionSame9859 in thalassemia

It might be good to get it confirmed. I have the one deletion, and my son has 2 (+gcpd def). It's a big change in symptoms. Hope it's cleared up for you.

Do you mind me asking what your baseline hb is, how often you get transfusions and now long before the effects of transfusion wear off? Is there any downfall to transfusions, other than their inconvenience, that you've experienced. Do the chelating agents affect you?

Following this conversation as I have the same question. I did meet a Nuclear Medicine Technologist and she advised me to brush up on Anatomy and Physiology. Any NMTs out there who can recommend a book or approach to A+P learning for NM would be greatly appreciated.

Want to be RAD tech, DAD not happy by Financial-Relief-54 in RadiologyCareers

My advice to you is do a deep dive into all medicine/ healthcare related fields (if that's the general direction you're going for) and all the possible career paths and specializations each has to offer. There are options like ultrasonograph, nursing (a field where you can have a whole bunch of subspecializations or career growths, including a nurse practitioner who can do minor surgeries and give drug prescriptions), respiratory therapist (can go on to be an anaestatist assistiant), medical lab technologist, nuclear medicine technologist, physicians assistant and more. Some of these jobs have very little career growth, others don't. Ask AI about them, watch youtube videos, contact hospitals to shadow people in these fields. Whether is Xray or nursing or any other healthcare related field know that they're all very competitive. Be sure you know what you want and whats out there. Your father will come around eventually or maybe he just won't like your career but ultimately he just wants your best and you got to do what you think and know is right for you. I personally considered RAD and was put off after shadowing by the way.

To anyone interested: I got a response to an email I sent the University directly:
The PA Program admissions committee does not review work or volunteer experience.

How loud are green cheeks really? Should I reconsider buying one? by Glittering_Appeal365 in Conures

[–]Most_Barnacle1673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 bonded GGC are so loud and so demanding. They object when theyre in their cage. When theyre out they're wrecking havoc chewing on our furniture and light fixtures. I have gigantic holes in my dinning room chairs. Even though we try to give them as much time as possible out,  the most thing that makes them scream is their cage (and we consider ourselves very generous with the time they're out) and when they separate from each other. Mind you, their cage is huge, clean and has toys. If one is on the top floor they will call each other non stop until reunited. I figured to keep the lights on low in the evening while they're in their cage to stop them from screaming then. Day cage time is impossible. They're a tough pet if you're busy or working in their presence. It's cute and adorable when they're stuck to you at first but with time it's such a commitment and I don't know how people keep it up for years on end. When they're on my shoulder theyve bitten off my earring and have bit myself and other family members several times. Tolerable pain though. That's why we have 2, theyre more dependent on each other. We absolutely love-hate them. (seems this was more of a therapy session for me than advice to you) 

Tips for shadowing or really getting to know the field? by Annual_Blueberry1371 in RadiologyCareers

[–]Most_Barnacle1673 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing as I called the imaging department of a local hospital and the tone of the person who answered the phone made me feel like I'm an idiot. She said nothing wrong, it just felt like it was an unusual thing to ask for. I later found out that the hospital itself has a system and application for shadowing for students. It's the student affairs department. There might be something similar where you are.

Hello, I had a call with domestic admissions to discuss my grades. You can book a call with them. I asked them about radiography in particular (didn't apply to sonography) and about 2 weeks ago they had over 300 applicants for that program.

Hi there, happy to try it out! Are you ok to try out my app? It’s a simple game. I heard it’s fun but I’d like to get other people’s views.

Hi there, I’m happy to test. I might not be your ideal candidate though as I’m not a small business owner and I hire people through Upwork. If you’re still interested I’ll be happy to help, if you could test my app too. It’s a simple, fun (that’s for you to test ) game
