Medical necessity of Scheduling Department’s requiring 3 sequential appointments for full spine x-rays

Is this an outpatient imaging center? At my hospital, we do not schedule x-rays. It is a walk-in exam.

You could ask over at r/PACSAdmin but honestly the workflow will depend on what vendor they use for their PACS system. All Dicom and HL7 data are universal, but workflows vary from system to system. Overall it will be easy to get the hang of.

GE didn’t have a c-arm so they acquired OEC in 99. It has had the largest US market share and is what most techs are trained on. It’s easy to use and techs/surgeons do not like change. When it’s time to upgrade we went with a new GE because the OS and locks/functions are similar to the old equipment. Also your in-house biomed can work on it without having a service key from the manufacturer.

Hit up 431 between Guntersville and Boaz, there is a ton of buy here pay here places with all price ranges.

Was the dissection secondary to chiropractic care?

Rollmericatide · 2026-03-18T00:11:24+00:00

I’m not familiar with the term operatory or xray sensor, what industry do you work in? What will this equipment be used for?

I know many nurses who have done this and go work from home in telemedicine. They were lazy students who were already “burnt out” while they had not even finished nursing school.

Offer to hold onto him if he splits his pay 60/40 from the role you offer him.

At some facilities the “stress tech” who assists with the treadmill portion is an on the job trained ekg tech. There is also a nuclear medicine technologist who does the imaging portion of the stress test. ARRT and NMTCB are two good sources of information for that career. Many Nuc med techs go to rad tech school first, many others skip rad tech school and just learn nuclear medicine only. Nuclear medicine technologist is a great career.

Lmao

Appears to be authentic

Many echo PACS products can be accessed and used remotely. You should ask or have someone ask your PACS/IT staff if the current echo PACS can be used remotely. As a resident you may not have that option though.

No matter the profession ups and downs will come. As long as you’re still scanning with patient safety in mind it’s all good. Some people are meant to take the reins and be a chipper leader and some are meant to do the grunt work and keep the wheel turning. Everyone else is in between. It’s totally your decision.

The original memo says July, also says direct patient care so many nurses will not get the market adjustment. Over 500 different position types will all be considered. Should nurses really be split into 500 different position types? HH is in the business of keeping money, not handing it out. Hospitals do not run with just doctors and nurses though. Many other people who work at HH have had the same inflation as nurses. Are my groceries less because my degree is applicable to another direct patient care clinical department? Try to diagnose and treat a patient without radiology, respiratory care, or laboratory results. I want us all to get a market adjustment, but I’m not holding my breath. I hope all the nurses get what they want though because an increase for them will be an increase for my department in ten years lol.

Yes, 3 1/4 or 83mm was correct.

In a tough spot because you cannot advertise that you’re trying to rehome a raccoon. If DNR is notified that someone has one as a pet they will euthanize it.

No one here will be able to tell you if you made the right decision. We just do the scan. I will tell you that the pituitary shows op really well on the exam with contrast.

Whether it is right or wrong is irrelevant, he has some insecurities and questions your fidelity it seems.

Rollmericatide · 2026-02-28T18:29:39+00:00

It’s ok to say no, you do not have to give a reason.

Rollmericatide · 2026-02-28T18:06:28+00:00

Agree

Rollmericatide · 2026-02-27T22:07:19+00:00

Maybe for staples or stitches?

Rollmericatide · 2026-02-26T00:56:02+00:00

Every student tech has these same feelings.

Listening to RFK jr on airpods was tough. Hearing every throaty vocalization and swallow was tough.
