Bile duct blockages were probably the most pain I've ever been in save for when I had the drat thing taken out and the surgeon botched it somehow and left bile leaking into my chest cavity
then the resulting infection was the most pain I'd ever been in

the 20 year old fridge in our house died right as COVID was heating up and we loving took whatever we could get delivered ASAP.

another 2 weeks and we prolly would have been living out of a mini fridge for four months instead of "only" six weeks. A mini fridge or two isn't bad for a couple adults but when you add a small child into the mix it gets a lot harder fast.

and yes, I expect it to fail the day after the 10 year warranty. it has a coil whine sometimes I don't love that fucks with my tinnitus, but hey what do you expect for $2000? clearly if you want a decent fridge you spend $15000 on a commercial one, as the doomsday ec thread has taught me.

there's probably like one artisanal fridgemaker out there that still does it all by hand and their fridges last a lifetime but you need to be on a waitlist to get one

I just don't have time or empathy for people being scared in the fuckhole. It's just a tube parked next to a jet engine. Nothing happens, it's just loud.

I don't really ever tell patients to hold still during actual scans. I think it's mostly because I almost exclusively handle inpatients (encephalopathy patients that have no idea where they are). As a tech you should have a sense of who's going to tolerate the study and who's not. If someone is jimmy jamming all over the place I just scan on through and do my best to compensate on the backend because no amount of yelling at them to hold still is going to anything. In my practical experience, the best thing to do when someone is moving is not talk about it but instead ask the patient how they are doing and try to address anything they say is causing them issues. Most of the time telling them to hold still just pisses them off because they are holding still. The tiniest movement causes motion artifact, most of the time it is simply the patient breathing. There is nothing you can do about it. No need to antagonize the patient over something out of their control. 3/4 of the battle for a scan is fought in the scan room positioning the patient.

It makes me cringe when coworkers just keep yelling at patients to hold still. You're not helping and it's like the Simpsons episode with the ringers on the plant baseball team and that one dude Mr burns keeps telling to shave those sideburns and he shaves them across his entire head and he still yells at him to shave the sideburns.

I apologize if this has been answered but I couldn’t find the specific language:

Is the mandate for vaccines/testing for companies that have more than 100 employees overall or more than 100 employees per location?

Reason I ask: a supermarket chain could have thousands of employees across the nation but less than 100 at any given store. This is how big companies still got PPP loans.

it’s an osha reg so it uses the osha definitions. it’s over 100 overall.

Most of the time that is great because then I can just set it and forget it and not have to interact and talk etc. Except if you have apnea and snore because that creates insane amounts of motion artifact on scans involving the chest head neck. It's really hard to convince coworkers/physicians that breathing is causing the motion and there is just nothing you can do about it.

in case y’all didn’t catch the authority being used, this is a new osha regulation being issued pursuant to osha’s given emergency powers. the temporary rule goes into effect as soon as it’s published (although there will certainly be a grace period before punishments begin), and the normal rulemaking procedure starts. then they have six months to finish the standard rulemaking procedure (notice, comment, etc) to make it permanent otherwise it expires.

e: this post is about the vaccine mandate.

it is a really smart way to do it too since it is very easy to back up the idea that unvaccinated or untested folks in the workplace are a hazard to other workers.
