Before. Both sets of blue supports are the same height above the water.


After. One set is much lower than the other.

They don't know why, but say "something under the riverbed failed". Yep.

There is absolutely no way this is serious. But I suppose an incipient extremely painful death does obviate the need for tetanus shots. (Also, they only used three nails. Maybe the fourth reason is the spear that collapses your lungs?)

quote:

Eddy described Christian Science as a return to "primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing". There are key differences between Christian Science theology and that of other branches of Christianity. In particular, adherents subscribe to a radical form of philosophical idealism, believing that reality is purely spiritual and the material world an illusion. This includes the view that disease is a mental error rather than physical disorder, and that the sick should be treated not by medicine, but by a form of prayer that seeks to correct the beliefs responsible for the illusion of ill health.

I can never really decide, Are anti-vaxxers better or worse than people who are so religious that they try and pray sickness and disease away? I mean it's almost the same thing.

I've heard too many stories of loving nutters not letting their kids have any medical treatment at all because Jeeeebus will save them.

I think this is them, but I'm not sure:

These people are frightening, and insane.

Did you know when Nixon signed new child abuse laws into effect that included neglect as a form of abuse they included specific exceptions to the Church of Christian Science because some of his advisors belonged to it. Gotta make sure you don't impede the rights of people to let their kids die because you didn't let doctors set a broken bone.

Judging by the photo of the tech I’m guessing she fat-fingered the button.

NYT posted:

Ms. Knickerbocker said in an interview that she did not remember pushing the scan button 151 times. “I pushed the button like four to six times,” she said. “It’s frustrating because I don’t know what happened. I never intended it to happen.”.

After acquiring two axial images, she started receiving error messages from the scanner, Knickerbocker said. "I got two images -- axial images that appeared one after another on the large blue screen, one image at a time. And then I -- on the touch panel I was flashed that there was a table error followed by a series of numbers," she told the court.

She verified that the table height was "within normal range," she said. "I shouldn't have gotten an error for that," Knickerbocker recalled.

She also went into the scanning room and asked the boy's father, who had been trying to soothe his son, not to lean against the patient table, saying she thought that might have been the problem. After she returned to the control room, the table error had cleared.

"I selected the resume imaging of my exam and hit the expose button again," Knickerbocker said. One image appeared, but then the machine stopped and flashed another error code, displaying that only the axial mode was available, she recalled. She was using the CT scanner's advanced dynamic scanning (ADS) mode during the procedure, she said.

"In response to that message, I backed out and attempted to perform the exam in the axial mode like the computer asked," Knickerbocker explained. "In the past I've been able to do that; after you initiate the axial mode, you can kind of go in the back door and hit the ADS button again on the touchscreen panel, then from that point on tie the rest of your images together and proceed as usual."

She tried to initiate the images manually "once or twice," Knickerbocker said. To get the test moving again, she tried "to kind of backdoor it and initialize a couple of manual axial images and then jump-start the ADS and continue with the examination," she told the court.

She then called another technologist for advice, who told her to shut down the system. Then, she restarted the exam, Knickerbocker said.

"I had three errors -- the table error, then I had the axial error, then when that wasn't working I got a third error that was just a bunch of numbers. So I attempted another work-around that we call a soft start," Knickerbocker said. "You basically back out to where you have no information of your exam except patient information, and then basically reprogram the entire exam and tell it, I want to do child C-spine 3-millimeter slices at 2-millimeter intervals with this mA and this kV. I had to re-enter everything."

[...]

Toward the end of the testimony, Knickerbocker was asked if she had seen the 151 images that resulted from the Roth examination, which were entered as an exhibit in the hearing. Knickerbocker said the scout image and the first few images looked familiar, as she saw them on the monitor during the study, but she had not seen the 151 images in their entirety until she reviewed them with counsel.
