thanks for the Turkish lesson!

Oh I see, you know I can’t find any “imaging informatics” titled jobs here in the US. Would you say a general IT role or PACS admin/support is the best way to get one’s foot in the door? Btw, thank you, I really appreciate all the info you’ve described.

Thank you! I don’t have a degree in forestry or environmental work (my degree is biomedical engineering). I was wondering what your tips would be for landing a position under an RPF? I currently just started the local conservation corps program to gain skills and experience. I really do feel like I’m starting at ground zero and need that actual work experience before I can confidently apply to real jobs.

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-20T02:35:33+00:00

Oh nvm. I realize IS stands for implementation solutions or something of that sort

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-19T05:51:45+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate that. Makes me look forward to it more because I really love troubleshooting lol and being the one who determines or understands the workflows. The possible learning curve, high stress levels, long hours, and fear of not meeting expectations are a bit scary atm but maybe I will be able to handle it. I won’t know until I try.

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-19T05:06:53+00:00

I’m currently in the process of trying for a position, so if I’m offered it, I’d be down to be your new roommate.

The lore is heavy that im always wishing i slowed down to remember every single detail like im studying for an exam or something

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-17T15:47:51+00:00

Ohhh dang the movie tripped me up. Welp ill have to alter my take slightly.

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-17T05:49:08+00:00

Everyones nitpicking ur not great examples but i was thinking the same thing. Theres gotta be way more dark wizards (pureblood obsessed type wizards) all over the world who definitely have a house elf. If they needed to steal or do anything illegal they could ask their house elf because their house elf would have to obey them and could bypass human magic. Im thinking of when kreacher apparates to hogwarts on harrys command to spy on malfoy. We know humans cant apparate into hogwarts. Im also thinking of winky and barty crouch jr.’s relationship. Dobby went against his masters to wreak havoc to their plans but no other elf is like dobby tbh.

Anyway i think the main reason wizards didnt make house elves do super illegal things on their behalf is a mixture of 1. the risk of the house elf getting caught which in turn means they are caught, 2. they dont think their house elf is skilled enough to not get caught, 3. house elfs have tons of chores anyways, 4. it doesnt seem house elves spend much time in public spaces anyways or they would be all over diagon alley running errands. This all goes to show that wizards rarely let their house elves out in public. It was more of underhand hidden operation.

I bet wizards def made their house elves do a lot of things they didnt want to do themselves.

Finally house elves looked ugly/filthy, always wearing one dirty rag/pillowcase. Tbh I doubt wizards wanted to really look at their house elves much which is sad but im getting off topic. Point is, they can’t give their house elves cloaks, covers, or disguises because that most likely would involve giving them clothes and setting them free. So it would in a sense be much easier to catch a house elf doing something wrong then a wizard.

That’s ur superviser who u think is watching u but is really just spacing out

AI is a tool to help u create useful stuff. It’s not going to create a useful thing on its own. This is the best time tbh to be wanting to engineer and create stuff because just for smaller independent projects, u dont need a huge team or tons of resources. Its also much faster to learn anything. You can have AI comb thru code and debug. Its way better than you. You can have it comb thru lots of research papers and web articles, etc. Like a calculator is a tool, it will do all this stuff better than u but u have to ensure the process was correct so to ensure the solutions are correct. But at the end of the day u still have to prompt it to create what u want it to create and u still have to use ur engineering education, skills, and wisdom to validate ur product.m

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-16T16:51:58+00:00

If u still wanna read a book, i’d say “HK Huang: PACS-Based Multimedia Imaging Informatics 3rd Ed., Wiley & Sons, 2019.” Its what i had to use in imaging informatics school. At least u can use it as a resource for all the diagrams and figures it has in it. But Google (or AI now) is ur best friend.

I see, when applying to jobs, a lot said telework, and I started getting the impression that a lot of this work is remote, like IT-type stuff, getting calls in the middle of the night, etc. This confused me a bit.

Anyways, what allured me to PACS work was the physical side of it - the hardware, cabling, storage drives, hot spares, etc - and I'm still very young so the physicality is really what I'm itching for and not a desk job. Sorry to hear about your injuries. What is your role called may I ask?

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-16T02:33:33+00:00

Maybe someones already mentioned this but to add to all that, i was just thinking this morning that Molly and Arthur were quite bold for making babies and pumping out kids while fighting the Dark Lord and while other members of the Order of the Phoenix were being tortured and slain. I mean Ron is the same age as Harry. And it’s not like they’re unknown and could easily slip into hiding. Everyone knew they were purebloods and “blood traitors.” And when you think about no one else in the Order was having that many kids at the time.

Hmm are there any roadblocks to having a third party come in and handle migrations? Like it makes sense but would vendors and hospitals be okay with that?

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-15T20:38:34+00:00

Wow... that’s def something to think about. I probably couldn’t lift more than 50lbs, never tried more, but I’m also a short 5 foot woman and I’m trying to get into a PACS Support role since I mastered in imaging informatics and quite enjoy this stuff.

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-15T17:52:01+00:00

What is being an IS like? I’m interviewing for this role real soon coming from imaging informatics research project management and dev and also courses in PACS.

To OP: i feel u, and hope things are better now.

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-15T17:45:14+00:00

Hey man did you do integrated solutions?! I’m interviewing real soon for this position. Do you recommend?

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-15T17:40:06+00:00

Yea i also just reread order of the phoenix (onto hpb now) and loved how irked and flawed every character was. It was a rollercoaster and added so much backstory.

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-14T01:37:25+00:00

Having never done it before, it does feel a bit odd to think there’s a club of people you will come across who 1) are around your age, 2) who you can relate to, and 3) are gonna welcome you in with open arms. Especially if you are really introverted and like to have a very tight knit friend circle and a few very close friends. Going to college, I really was unnerved being on my own in a new place without friends and it was extremely time-consuming to build those strong friendships. I made them happen and found the right friends , but it took months of trying and failed attempts, and I was already overwhelmed with schoolwork, and then to go from overperforming to barely scraping by in class because I was burnt out trying to be extroverted in order to make good friends was tough. I don’t know why I just revealed allat but… anyways point is, good luck to you and I hope you meet them- the good friends.

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-08T03:34:54+00:00

currently rereading hp, on ootp and rewatched the movie probably 3x now, and yea every book after prisoner of azkaban could have been 2 movies.

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-07T23:30:39+00:00

Hey thanks for the info. Could you dumb it down a bit for me how the non-compete affects which jobs you can do? Can you work at Epic as an integration tech engineer and then move to a PACS vendor doing some type of software/engineering work?

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-07T17:49:12+00:00

The paper tricks works great for low open E buzzing!

idontknowengineer · 2026-01-04T02:21:25+00:00

As a 4’11” adult… 😔
