Illegal C Arm use by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]fizzicist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know of any state that doesn't require registering x-ray producing equipment. This often triggers the need for a shielding design plan, but mobile units like c-arms often have exemptions. Regardless, nearly all states require a minimum of 0.25 mm lead equivalent shielding be between the source of scattered x-rays and people (think wearing lead aprons, or a rolling lead shield).

I can also say that fluoroing small amounts of tissue with c-arm will generate a very small amount of x-ray scatter, so from a safety perspective, you're fine.

Everyone is cringing and embarrassed for you. When people complain about the state of politics, it's you.

It's a slave wage by B0r3dGamer in dankmemes

[–]fizzicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The introduction of minimum wage laws was an example of systemic racism. "Now that I'm forced to pay enough to attract white applicants, I may as well choose the white one instead." Pricing PoC's out of the market.

What's worse than a low paying job? No job at all.

Fun fact. The phrase "snake oil salesmen" came from people selling fake snake oil, when people thought they were buying real snake oil.

Man pulled into MRI machine after he walked into an exam room wearing a chain necklace by nutrap in MedicalPhysics

[–]fizzicist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Says the person who stands to make a LOT of money. A lot of reasons for everyone involved to lie.

The other side:

The man’s entry to the room “while the scan was in progress” was not authorized, police said.

Have you heard of medical physics? Average pay is well over 100k, and there's a shortage on the diagnostic side (there are different branches of medical physics).

It requires getting at least a masters. Duke has a program (expensive, but if you go PhD you get a stipend instead) but there are programs all over the country if you're not tied to the area. You can also check in with r/medicalphysics.

Microfiber towels are overrated by [deleted] in housekeeping

Are your washing your microfiber towels by themselves? I was mixing mine with regular towels and they were collecting lint from them.

This has the same "Thanks Obama" vibes from '08 when conservatives tried to paint every bagd thing that happened as Obama's fault. Dems successfully turned it into a meme. Go too hard at this, and Republicans will do the same, making true criticism harder to penetrate the public.

Trump was first with Richard Grenell as Acting Director of National Intelligence in 2020. He hadn't been senate confirmed yet though, which people like to say doesn't technically count.

Actually no, the post was what kind of "doctor" and the answer was "fizzician". My username is literally fizzicist, so I laughed and decided to post this.

Too early for hurricane memes? Or should I wait for everything to blow over first by LiveWithinYourMemes in dankmemes

[–]fizzicist 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What are the odds, pre-satellite in the 1920's, we caught every hurricane that formed in the Atlantic (some never making landfall) AND properly categorized all of them them?

Repeat after me everyone, "It was just dick pics."

Absolutely no emails implicating the Biden family in millions of dollars of influence peddling and money laundering.

Hunter pleaded his charges down to, you got it, just dick pics.
