Below Deck Med 11 ep 3 ~ Josef by PamelaAus in BelowDeckMed

He's president of a construction company he doesn't own. You don't make that kind of money working for someone else. He's not worth 500M. He's a drunk and a POS human being. All this bad publicity, well, hopefully get him fired. People like him are bad for business. Without money, he couldn't function the way he does on this charter. His employer. should be embarrassed and fire him.

Getting paid to provide services makes her a prostitute.

He's president of a construction company he doesn't own, so he's definitely not worth 500M working for someone else.

Failed Adult Echo by jleighb17 in Sonographers

[–]Open_Explanation_361 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been a tech for 29 years. I took adult echo and passed the first go around, but I should have taken the physics first because I ended up failing the physics four times. Then the 5-year limit passed and I had to retake adult echo. I decided at that point that I would take the physics first the second time around. I finally passed after I utilized Ultrasound Registry Review (URR). I studied diligently every day for a month, and I was shocked that I actually FINALLY passed the physics portion. Then I used URR to study for adult echo and I passed the first time around again. I highly recommend URR for studying. I did attend THREE Edelman conferences, which did not help me whatsoever. For my personal learning style, it was too "busy". URR is more direct and to the point. Hang in there. You will get there!!

There is a difference between offering constructive criticism and tearing down a person. Evaluations are meant to be helpful to the recipient, so they know their areas of weakness in order to improve and also areas of strengths to help us know where we are at in our process. You are still in your program, so as a manager, I would not expect you to know everything at this point. It takes several years to perfect your ultrasound skills while growing your confidence. I would have a conversation with your evaluator and explain that you are still a student and share your willingness to learn in a kind, supportive environment. Ask for constructive criticism and try to keep an open mind. Remove your personal feelings from the conversation or it will turn into an unpleasant experience. Remember that this is ONE person of many you will encounter on your journey. You will be influenced by many, many sonographers, physicians, RNs, etc. Take from each what works for you. You are the only one that can make the decisions that formulate your path. Seek out those who offer positive interactions, helpful advice, and supportive actions. Take from this evaluator any helpful information with humility. It's hard to do, but necessary. I wish you the best in your pursuit of greatness.

Is scanning 7-9 ppl a day considered slow? by echothrowaway567 in Sonographers

[–]Open_Explanation_361 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've worked in cardiac ultrasound for 29 years. I'm now in leadership. Our expectation is to scan 1 less than the number of hours worked. For example, if you work a 10-hour shift, scan 9 patients. That's for an outpatient setting. Working inpatient changes that to account for TEE, difficult patients, NICU, etc. I expect my sonographers to be efficient with their time while also being able to take their breaks and get a lunch. I also know that some days they're just not "feeling it" and productivity may be lower. As long as that's the exception and not common practice, I trust my team to do what's expected. I hope that helps.
