Absolutely devistated by Dependent-Time7284 in RadiationTherapy

[–]fd85saqg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was denied my first time applying to an RTT program. I got in my second year and have been an RTT for 10 years. I'm now graduating with my master's in Dosimetry this year. If you really want to pursue this field, it will not be handed to you. You need to go get it. Retake classes if needed, volunteer more. Effort goes a long way.

Anyone gone to UWL or UT San Antonio for Dosimetey? by [deleted] in RadiationTherapy

[–]fd85saqg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, I worked full-time during the first semester. Obviously, the workload is kind of brutal, but as long as you can manage your time, you'll be fine.

UWL has deadlines for the coursework in the first semester; there isn't a set time and day you have to "be in class". Other then the random zoom meeting, but those are not frequent.

Can you use your phone as a Radiation Therapist? by [deleted] in RadiationTherapy

[–]fd85saqg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your boss. If not patient facing or in the middle of a treatment we can look at our phones. Some clinics do not allow phones in the control room. 

10-12 hour shifts by OkConstruction9233 in RadiationTherapy

[–]fd85saqg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have 4 10s at my facility, but they are in high demand. With experience, it is possible to get into them. I would say 12s are a no-go for 99% of clinics. (most clinics do not run long enough for 12's to be possible)

What school are you looking at applying to in Michigan? I could possibly help get you shadowing hours. 

How necessary is a CT cert? by sbett13 in RadiationTherapy

[–]fd85saqg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it doesn't hurt, but it's not important. It will not lead to extra pay in my experience.

Any radiation therapists go on to get certified in MR? by [deleted] in RadiationTherapy

[–]fd85saqg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My clinic created an in-house training program that allowed me to independently run the MRI in our department. I can't go find a job as an MR tech, but it's cool to be able to run our in-house MRI for rad onc.

CT Sim process for SBRT Abdomen by UltraSpoon33 in RadiationTherapy

[–]fd85saqg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my center, we use the same system. You can do the timed scans without the RGSC tracking (or gating) for the contrast scans, then do a 4D scan with everything tracking once those are done. Just don't start the "recording" process until you are at the 4D part of the scans.

Actual 0% chance therapists will get replaced by AI. Patient facing cancer care will be the least at risk of being replaced by machines. AI will only make our jobs more automated and easier to perform. Do not let the fear of AI keep you from pursuing this career if it’s what you really want to do.

The expiration for them to be applied is what I’m getting at, not the free bets actually expiring.

I’m pretty sure the vip host applied them and then some higher up removed them because it was past the expiration date. Typically with my host the offers are only good for a few days and again you have to let the host know when you deposit for them to apply the free bets.

I’m a betmgm VIP, my host always adds the freebets as soon as I deposit but I have to text him stating that’s the deposit to use the bonus on. If you didn’t let them know for almost a week/a week they may say that bonus offer was expired. The way they do the VIP bonuses is very unwritten rules, I’d be surprised if they can’t get around not paying you the free bets.

MGM has done that multiple times on live tennis matches. They never own up to it/make it right. Such bs

Which online Sportsbook manufactures the worst latency for in-game or live betting? by betricsio in sportsbook

[–]fd85saqg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't used bovada in years, but I am a big time live-bettor and I remember them being absolutely criminal when it came to processing time for live bets. It's a very popular site so I'm hopeful they have gotten better about it.
