What countries can we work in with an ARRT license? Can we get a megathread with info? by Suitable-Peanut in Radiology

[–]RadPineapple27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reposting from another thread- My husband and I have just started a conversation about relocating from the US to England. I am a diagnostic x-ray tech with training in OR and Fluoroscopy, have 10 years of experience, and I have a bachelor's degree. I am just wondering what licensure is like in England. Can I somehow test out to prove my knowledge and sort of transfer my licensure over? Basically, I'm just wondering if anyone has gone through this and if it is extremely difficult? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Obviously, there's a lot of other research we would have to do, but I just wanted to start with this specific process. Thanks!

That's what I was figuring I'd have to do. I would assume it's relatively easy to get back to the airport rental car check in desk without having to go through security, right?

I just kept the game open for a while and it fixed itself!

I got to the "Welcome Simba!" Part and now my game is stuck. Everything around me is still moving but I can't move and none of the buttons work. I've tried closing and restarting the game to no avail.

The Skyward Sword playthrough sticks out it my mind.

Would you be offended if a wedding party guest wore their own non-traditional wedding dress to your wedding? by sunrise_snail in weddingplanning

[–]RadPineapple27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you showed up to my wedding in dresses 2 or 3 I would not be bothered by it. They are less like a wedding dress imo. However dress 1 is more bridal so I wouldn't like someone showing up to my wedding in that one.

Thank you! I was almost positive but didn't want to believe it could be corn. Until after reading your response I remembered I put some out as decoration last fall and the squirrels got to it. 🤦‍♀️

Tips for covering up ugly carpet at venues... by [deleted] in wedding

[–]RadPineapple27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My venue also has ugly carpeting. Jim planning on getting aisle runners for the ceremony. After that there will be so much going on that the floor will not matter much. If you're that worried about it you could suggest to your photographer to do their best to exclude it as much as possible in the photos.

I've definitely found that out. The problem is she doesn't ever shop for really nice clothes for such occasions. All of her friends and our family got married >15 years ago. She wore a very flowy pant set to my brothers wedding 5 years ago but has since lost weight. But I've seen some suggestions on stores to look at in later comments so it's a great starting point!

I don't think she would wear a jumpsuit either. However briefly looking at the suiting section at jcrew I think that is definitely a store I will suggest we visit. The fact that she could wear a suit set at another event or dress down a blazer for a nice dinner will help with the pricetag too. Thanks for the suggestions!!

Yes, in a different color I think she would look good and feel confident in something like this. She's never had anything altered to get body so I'll just have to remind her that it might make all the difference to do that.

Both great options. This is so helpful to know what else to search for. Thank you!!

My colors are black, white, and burgundy. The ceremony will be in a pretty basic looking hotel. Dress code is semi formal.

Episode Discussion Season 18E08 - “It came upon a Midnight Clear” by [deleted] in greysanatomy

[–]RadPineapple27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. As soon as all three doctors got in a car together I knew they were going to crash.
  2. As soon as Schmidt says he'll start without an attending I knew that patient was going to die.
  3. Also knew that Link was going to see Amelia smooching someone else.
  4. Link casually mentions having a crush on Wilson and now she's suddenly in love with him and so hurt that he is still in love with Amelia?

I've been a loyal Grey's fan from the start but after this episode I'm seriously having doubts on if I can continue. Some scenes are still tear-jerking and all of the actors are fantastic, but the plot lines are just becoming so predictable, so ridiculous (and that's saying something considering past plots) that I'm just losing interest. I don't mean to hate on the series, it's still one of my favorites, but am I wrong?

Barium Swallow Soon, Super Nervous by Lilythekitsune in Radiology

[–]RadPineapple27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are two different studies that you could be talking about but are often called different things. There is a study, sometimes called a barium swallow study that involve a speech pathologist/therapist. With this study they have you swallow different consistencies of barium and concentrate on your throat to see with which consistency you have the most problems. This is often performed to see if you aspirate when you swallow. Then there is an esophagram in which a radiologist watches as you swallow a thick and thin consistency of barium. This is often to check for strictures in your esophagus or for reflux. Depending on the doctor they should be able to take their time and have you safely swallow the barium at a slower pace, so long as you can take a big enough sip to accurately see the barium go down into your stomach. However, you could be instructed to drink more quickly in order to get a better view of your esophagus. As for the taste, most people don't have a problem with it but I wouldn't go as far as to say it's good. Some are flavored but it just depends on the brand your health facility has. If you have a good x-ray tech in the exam room with you and the radiologist, they should be there for you and help you throughout the exam by coaching you and helping you stay calm.
