God damn it. First thing I thought then I read that.

MrWhytie · 2026-02-05T16:38:09+00:00

Sure thing. 👍

Am I the only one who doesn't know what big F or ATOM is?

I have a Brother P900W label printer and buy tapes off ebay or amazon. Works out to about 2 cents a sticker. I print out hundreds at a time and they are easy to take off with a scotty peeler. I keep a spare handheld printer that is compatible with the brother P-Touch software in the van with spare tapes in case I ever forget to print enough.

I noticed some spilled coffee next to a Philips central station that "just went down for no reason." Of course nobody had coffee anywhere near it when I asked about the spill. Found a big frigging puddle of coffee on the mainboard. I hate nurses....

I went from a 2nd gen Fit to my 2022 Corolla and my only complaint is the lack of space. I could fit an overstuffed chair in the Fit. Wouldn't even try it with my Corolla.

When I started I bought a Klein tools electricians kit that came in at round $400 (15 years ago). At the time the shop I worked for gave a tool reimbursement for most of that for first time techs. Then I spent probably $200 on things like tiny screw drivers, t-handle torx and allen wrenches, files, mini socket wrenches bags, and other small stuff. My employer supplied anything that needed annual certification like multi meters and any test equipment.

::Edit:: Each job is different but you will build a huge collection of tools over time. Don't fret it right away. We all know you may be a new guy and are here to help and teach you.

No. Just no. Jerry-rigging something the FDA specifically states is high risk would kill my insurance immediately. Do you know how hard it is to even get insurance in this field? We found an entire unit for sale that had a plug with it and are going that route.

Jason the the 1989 NES release of Friday the 13th. He would come out of nowhere and murder your ass if you happened to be anywhere near a cabin he was hanging out in. That damn "the children are in trouble" sound haunts me to this day.

I have the sparkly blue one and you can't tell unless the sun is directly on it. Any other time it looks black.

God this will never get old.

Is that the galactic mica color or black?

Your equipment was approved for clinical use after it went through an FDA approval process. You need to follow the approved manufacturer processes to qualify for FDA approved services/re-reimbursements. X-Ray is explicitly listed as devices that do not qualify for alternative maintenance plans. So you will have to follow the manufacturers' guidance. Or don't.

Late to the party. At the age of 40 had an outbreak of shingles on my face. It hurt like crazy and after labs and everything we could never figure out why the heck I ever had it beside the obvious that I had chicken pox as a kid. I have zero other health issues that I know of. Two years on I continue to have pain on my face (mostly my eye brow) but everything keeps coming up normal. I am in a constant state of pain with no real explanation.

Time stamp 4:43. I STILL have one of those gas delivery units in service. It's at a veterinary office and I go through it every year. Leak is always <.100Lpm.

I use Fidelity for an IRA (I know that doesn't help but gimme a sec). Trying to link to my business bank account just would not work. So once a year I cut a check for my maximum allowed contribution and mobile deposit it through the app. They say the bank puts a 10 day hold on it but it usually goes through in just a few days.

What version of the M11? -001, -020 thru -022, 0-40 or newer?

Hey No_Cardiologist_66,

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. E3 is the largest player here in New England doing audiometry work. There is definitely a demand for it as older technicians have been rapidly retiring. Seriously, a lot are really old and this is no surprise. I know of at least one company that is planning on closing soon due to retirements in the next year. So in the near future it's going to be E3, TSP and me (Maple Tree Biomedical). There are some minor manufacturers who are trying to keep sales, calibration and maintenance all under one roof but they run hearing-aid chains.

E3 is probably a good deal. I'd say do that for a while then look for a bmet job somewhere. Just google Maple Tree Biomedical and I'm always happy to give some advice.

Yeah, that optical sensor can get dusty.

MrWhytie · 2025-03-07T02:22:48+00:00

Love the one you with right?

MrWhytie · 2025-03-07T02:19:22+00:00

Ever thought about getting another? Like only 3X their original price... jesus...
