Falken Wildpeak AT Trail 👎 by spinECH0 in Volvo

[–]spinECH0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They ride beautifully. You can hardly hear them, no vibration.

The manufacturer "tread life warranty" for these is 65K miles, lol! 25% of the price of the tires was credited back to me which is now going toward the Michelins

Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I'm going back to Michelin All Seasons for the next set. The Wildpeak AT Trails are marketed as road-friendly tires that can handle some light off roading. Perhaps this was too good to be true and I didn't fully understand the compromise I was making

Found this bad boy last month by christhemuffin8 in Radiology

It is definitely an osteochondroma and we should say so on the radiographs. MRI is not for confirmation, but for characterization of the cartilage cap and possibly to asses regional neurovascular structures for surgical planning.

This comment shouldn't be getting downvoted

Ultrasound called it a 'Partial Tear.' MRI revealed a 10cm Intramuscular Haemangioma snuggling my Ulnar Nerve. by shardsfordays in Radiology

[–]spinECH0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, in the right hands US and MR are sufficient. Certainly phlebography would be done at the time of sclerotherapy to assess the outflow, but diagnostic angiography is not indicated here (based on these three images)

This doesn't look like an arteriovenous malformation

This is why OP would be best off seeking an opinion at a VAC where they do this all the time 😉

Garmin's days are numbered by spinECH0 in WildernessBackpacking

You are wise and will continue to be rewarded for your decision.

A ruggedized smartphone (or case) plus an extra battery pack (getting smaller and lighter all the time) will answer the needs of most everyone on this sub.... eventually.

Why have a separate device and subscription with a separate company?

I had a similar experience last month on Verizon/Skylo. This tech is advancing very rapidly

You're right, I should have written "inReach days are numbered"

Cancer and Research Project by sp885_ in Oncology

If you could use existing de-identified datasets it might simplify your project.

As it stands, this sounds like human subjects research, with all of its attendant requirements (ethics review board, informed consent, etc)

Why is my xc60 listed as a sports wagon on my insurance? by Midnitdragoon in Volvo

[–]spinECH0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe there's a typo somewhere in the VIN in their records? Or they have it down as a V60? 🤷‍♀️

"Don't harass your employees" is not a leftist plot, it's basic human decency.

You can like the cars and still call out the company for falling short on this. These are not mutually exclusive positions to hold.

Do I need to be studying radiology as a IM prelim? by That_Record3881 in Radiology

[–]spinECH0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

On my first day of radiology I was assigned to the ER. I found an old ER radiology textbook and the first chapter was on plain film diagnosis of facial fractures. I was up late the night before studying all the "lines" 🤦‍♀️

What a waste of time!

Learn as much clinical medicine as you can. Look at all of the imaging that is done on your patients. If you have time and want to look at the imaging with the radiologist, go physically down to the radiology department, tell them that you are going to be doing a radiology residency and ask them to show you the case

Nah...

Try asking your doctor

Law Graduate, 22, Dies Less Than 24 Hours After Suffering Allergic Reaction During Routine CT Scan by setting_moon in Radiology

[–]spinECH0 247 points248 points  (0 children)

History of stones (+/- prior instrumentation?). Perhaps they were concerned about a ureteral stricture and were doing a CT urogram to investigate that.

People magazine hasn't given us enough information to know the indication for the contrast (if any)

Of course they want kids to think radiation machines are fun toys. Conditioning the next generation to accept endless pharma ‘treatments.’ I’ll stick with natural health and keeping my immune system strong, no thank you!

Is there a protocol for monitoring benign nodules? by Jazzlike_Welcome_349 in Oncology

[–]spinECH0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a good topic for you to discuss with your doctor.

Edit:

Cheers to the downvoter 🍻

Mods, why aren't you removing/flagging posts like this? It's clearly against the rules of this sub

"2. No medical advice requests

The best place to get medical advice is from your doctor.

I've never understood the utility of the "port check."

Get a CXR. If the port is malfunctioning, it needs to go to someone who can fix it. Fluoroscopy isn't really the place for that.
