I mean I guess the god-like power of "being able to prescribe the fun drugs" is a bit cooler than "wrote the login page for google plus" yeah

CannonFodder posted:Bit of a derail, but how much radiation do you actually absorb as a rad onc? That might be a profession where you would be limited on hours on a yearly basis so you don't set off gieger counters Almost none. XKCD has a fantastic chart for this: https://xkcd.com/radiation/ . If you look, the yearly limit is 50 mSv. We wear radiation badges to measure our exposure and I don't think mine's ever gone above "normal" background radiation. If any of us came close to the yearly limit our radiation people would be losing their poo poo. When one of my co-workers was pregnant she requested an extra sensitive detector just in case and just gave up on it after a few months since it never showed anything. The machines we use to deliver radiation to patients are behind literally feet of concrete/shielding, and we're nowhere close to them while the treatments are actually getting delivered. The people I worry about are the interventional cardiologists/radiologists. A lifetime of standing next to a fluoro machine can't be good.

Yeah every time I've had something involving ionizing radiation done recently it seems like they made a tech do the actual leg work while they were in another room, then came in to analyze the results  I tried to ask the guy how many Sieverts I got blasted with once but he just kinda went "you're good, you can go now" like I hadn't said anything Shame Boy fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Mar 28, 2017 |

Residency Evil posted:I guess it varies for everyone. I'll say that I've found more satisfaction in being able to be a part of giving someone an extra year with their family than I ever did in improving some code to be more efficient. I'm sure it also depending on what you're doing at Google. My friend who's essentially a (well payed) computer janitor there seems way less enthusiastic about his job than a friend who's on a different team. Don't forget their self-driving car program - there you're looking at technology with the potential to save tens of thousands of lives every year, and dramatically improve the quality of life for elderly/disabled people who can't drive manually. That's got to offer more potential for real satisfaction that routine IT crap.

How are they not using finger badges? Also, how the gently caress is fluoro still a thing in radonc? It seems like such a lovely, lovely idea for so many reasons, but then, I design particle therapy systems for a living so any time I see "yo let's pump ALL DA DOSE" my toes curl.

Hello internet. I "invested" 10k in my friend's business and it folded within the first month. Also, he never actually formed a business and I sent him a personal check. How can I best sue my friend to recoup my losses? Yes, I did have a contract (he sent me an email once and told me profits were guaranteed) quote:Invested $10,000 in a friend's business and now he can't pay back https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/615oiy/invested_10000_in_a_friends_business_and_now_he/

That's not really true, big law, banking, consulting, and I'm sure many more involve horrible lifestyles for junior people with professional degrees with the dangling promise of a big payout down the line. Objectively in comparison to my lawyer sibling and friends my long-hours-high-output-although-predictable medicine lifestyle seems better.
