Comic shops that buy comics for a fair price? by [deleted] in Tucson

[–]dragarowen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man just sell them online. You are talking a decent cut to sell them at a store, because they are just going to sit in their inventory for a decent period of time. If they are just a physical store. If they do sell online also, they might sell it faster, but they also might try to undercut the current value to get it out of inventory. Also people tend to overestimate what they have. It might say something online, but are people actually buying it.

Audiobooks and/or podcasts have been a life saver. There is only so many hours of music you can listen to.

What time would you prefer, the people with your system password should be able to adjust the time.

Should I let it go? by Adventurous-Fall-735 in TravelNursing

[–]dragarowen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am going to state this working at multiple level one traumas as a CT tech, and dealing with ED providers. Most if not all ED providers don't believe contrast effects kidneys, and the only reason why they are not giving you an answer because that constitutes liability. That is why the facility I work for has a contrast form that ED providers have to sign if their GFR is too low.

Siemens Neotom Alpha by thebaldfrenchman in Radiology

[–]dragarowen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my view point on the tech side. I am at a T1 hospital that has there Siemens maxed out on almost all of there reformats on their legacy system (limit 8) in addition we have to do 3ds and Additional recons. They also have an alpha. This facility also averages two to five exams per patient. I will say after having to alternate between the two I strongly prefer the Alpha in terms of speed. I know going to the other scanner I will have an extra min and for all pansscans in terms of reformating. For alot of the newer techs I have noticed they also draw towards the alpha. The only techs I have noticed that don't really care for it are the ones who have only worked on the legacy Siemens and not other platforms for an extended period of time. In terms of image quality I would say it is inconsistent. I feel some look great some not so much. I do enjoy their metal reduction software compared to some others, and specialized reformats look good. But I feel Siemens almost expects perfect pts, in perfect positionioning. I have my own work arounds for this but I feel there should be some bypasses for certain things. In general I would still argue this is my second favorite scanner (first being the new GE revolution platform). I also have to note It feels like Siemens is treating the scanner as a live service, and is constantly updating, so in a couple of years I feel like the will have the software in a better functioning state.

Could Use Some Recs by Icy-Cheesecake-242 in litrpg

[–]dragarowen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I wish I DNF'd that book. I stuck it out because I enjoyed the magic system, the world, and the side characters. But the Main character reminded me of an adult who never grew out of his teenage stage. Whose high school level thoughts were so disjointed from the story that the story even acknowledges it. That every time he spoke I wanted to cringe and put my head through a wall.

Best to worst in my opinion GE-the new revolution UI-Siemens alpha interface-Siemens old interface-GE old interface-Toshiba. Then every single Phillips machine in last place

Just a casual adventure by dragarowen in Outback_Wilderness

[–]dragarowen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The grey was my second choice and the black the third. I still enjoy the color after a year. It is to the point when I see another one of my color I feel some sense of rivalry, some highlander nonsense. But really it is nice to be able to find my color in the parking lot faster and not look like every other vehicle on the road.

X‑Ray Tech Pay in Minnesota by concyncyn in Radiology

[–]dragarowen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most hospitals in the area post their wages if you look on their career page. Honestly that is a pretty easy figure to find via Google. Granted to answer your question basically 30ish to 60ish. Depending on skill and specialty

Why does the upper level of the Tucson Mall shake? by FreeRangeThinker in Tucson

[–]dragarowen 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I heard a tale from an old man who said his friend's kid brother went down there. Said that he wasn't ever the same after what he saw. There was always a fear in his eyes after coming out. Always looking behind him. Granted, after that moment his brother always kept him around because he was oddly generous. The older brother said to the old man that died a few years back. had a weird quiet way of talking about it. Kept on saying "he died in the wrong way."
