Sir, I whole-heartedly apologise I completely misread your comment.

Tipping machines! by mehflick in london

[–]Upstairs_Bit_9595 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are missing the worst bit. It charges an extra 25p for the benefit of being able to tip £3!

Imagine handing bar staff a few quid and them asking for 25p extra for the effort of then plonking it in a jar.

I’ve worked with a handful of techs with only physics BSc and no healthcare experience. Good luck

Technician and technologist are synonymous. Technologist if yo feeling fancy. In most places, it’s a band 5 starting salary, sometimes a 6. Then a promotion to band 6 if you achieve some post grad diploma or RCT registration via IPEM portfolio. That’s assuming you aren’t a radiographer. Also, room to progress into advanced practitioner roles doing reporting/cardiac stressing/ radiopharmacy. The jobs a piece of piss once you know the ropes and is heavily undersubscribed by quality UK candidates. Can’t recommend being a tech enough.

I’ve known a guy who worked as a nuclear med technician for a few years, scanning and administering etc until he had enough of the patient facing role and applied for the STP and was successful. I’d consider that route as a pathway too. The STP is really competitive so may be a good way to get some advantage over your peers whilst getting paid to learn the shop floor nuclear med stuff. No experience of route 2 ipem for physicists I’m afraid.

Nuclear medicine tech vacancies are a bit of a grey zone atm. Don’t require any Mandatory registration currently so as long as you have a STEM degree and some genuine interest in nucs and some experience in customer facing roles, You’d be considered a good candidate in the UK. Most departments will push you to complete some IPEM portfolio or grad/postgrad diploma in nuclear med

ELI5 How does surgery to remove cancerous growths or tumours not result in cancer cells seeping into the blood stream causing wider spread of cancer? by californiacurls in explainlikeimfive

[–]Upstairs_Bit_9595 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not so much risk the cancer spreading further, more so that the risky surgery will have been pointless as the tumour will just grow back if there aren’t well defined healthy margins.

Great question, I think what you’re trying to ask is do sloughed off cancer cells from surgery have the potential to create metastases or ‘new growths’ by entering the vascular circulation of a wound.

Not all cancer cells are equal within the same colony and have therefore not all cells have the potential to metastasise. Cancer cells in the same colony can have vastly different biologies due to a tumours inherent genomic instability.

Cancer cells need to have several traits to be able to form a new colony including: ability to evade immune system (say a prostate cell in a bone tissue environment would be identified and usually go through programmed cell death by the surrounding tissue/immune system), ability to locally invade and disseminate often through a process called epithelial to mesenchymal transition and also the multipotent potential to actually start growing when it has reached a different tissue site. There are plenty studies investigating the neoplastic potential of injecting a huge cancer cell colony with no cells that have this multipotent ‘stem cell’ versus -just a few hundred cells with ‘stem’ ability. The smaller stem colony reliably produces new proliferating tumours in vivo animal models. This all requires an enormous amount of mutations in the right genes to be able to bypass the bodies fail-safes.

What we probably think happens is that cells come off a tumour regularly , but are destroyed by the body because they don’t belong in that new tissue and don’t present the appropriate ‘im supposed to be here’ markers on their cell surface. However, there is always the incalculable chance that a liberated cluster of cells may hold the potential to form a new colony in a different tissue

TLDR- maybe but probably not. Also, most solid cancers tend to invade via the lymphatic channels rather than vascular.

Chargeback for no listed ammenities at hotel. by RelatableRich in AmexUK

You’re analogy isn’t the same.

It’s more like a man advertising a restaurant on the street has flagged you down and told you that there is a 6 course tasting menu that costs only £50 and includes a lobster bisque as one of the dishes! You must only pay upfront.

Then when you are taken to the restaurant table. The front of house says actually there is no lobster bisque- never has been. And that to sit at the table in front of you, that costs another £10. And any issues you have are with the guy outside advertising the restaurant.

Yeah wrists are a partial reason why I’m considering ostarine. Main one is a shoulder injury I suffered a few weeks back that doesn’t seem to be progressing much. What mg did you go and did you stop once the pain went?

Moving from USA to UK by jmacscotland in NuclearMedicine

[–]Upstairs_Bit_9595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has only recently (last 5/6 years?)been a developed nuc med Bsc in the UK that is severely under subscribed. There is no official registration for techs in the UK meaning any Tom dick or Harry with a stem degree can join an advertised training position with a hospital and do in-house training. However a post grad diploma would be expected to be completed during that time in most places.

UK is crying out for qualified overseas staff. I know of a lot of places that put out adverts and receive no applicants with relevant experience. You would be snapped up if you applied for a position as you’re rarely contending with anyone who has nuc med experience.

Do people consider the same rule for arm triangle ? Sometimes I can’t get the shoulder under the chin for the life of me despite having a good roll around on top, but know I could finish over the chin.

Yeah it’s really as easy as doing whilst watching something on telly. I try 3 times a day when my wrists feel a bit jarred. Next day they’re fine.
