lol they helpfully let me know they use much more contrast for a CT than an MRI so I should be glad it wasn’t a CT I’ve had a bunch of both and never noticed the difference just a warm feeling and like I was pussing myself. the worst thing I’ve ever had done is a nuclear stress test. nothing can describe the “this is wrong” feeling it gives you

Asproigerosis posted:As an actual MRI tech here, more often than not yall are not going to have a good time trying to keep your bane masks on in the tube. We don't trust anything for good reason and generally speaking unless there is actual testing by the manufacturer or otherwise information by the manufacturer about mri safety it's gonna be a no from most techs. Would recommend calling the place well in advance to speak to a technologist about keeping the mask on and if that'll be ok etc. Also I'd warn that if you're getting any imaging of the brain/head/possibly cervical/thoracic spine depending on the coil configuration it will be impossible to keep a respirator on regardless of metal as it will physically not fit. Have you seen the readimask? might be just the ticket.

nexous posted:lol they helpfully let me know they use much more contrast for a CT than an MRI so I should be glad it wasn’t a CT Ah! That makes sense. Yeah nuclear stress tests just seem not cool, I hopefully don't ever need to take one of those. And yeah that is kind of the weirdest part is I've had several other contrast tests and it was fine. It just got me last time.

Platystemon posted:COVID response confounds SARS expert This guy's heart is probably in the right place but uh, saying that COVID-19 mortality is in the "single digits" and that the odds of getting long covid are up to over 140% are not terribly helpful. He did mention Dr. Tara Moriarty and https://covid19resources.ca. I heard of the former before. She studies... or studied blood-borne diseases, particularly Lyme disease, and is cross-appointed in a faculty of dentistry. She got some media attention for compiling estimates of excess mortality* a couple of years ago and publishing them through the Royal Society of Canada (essentially an academic social club and not at all a peer reviewed journal), after having published not much of anything since 2017. So a lot of people are naturally skeptical and wondering if she's much like those physicists who suddenly became epidemiological data scientists in 2020. Now I guess she has a few more friends and put together a website with somewhat janky visualizations? If I sound too skeptical, consider this page: https://covid19resources.ca/public/vaccine-resources/. Am I missing something or does it contain literally nothing besides the site header, footer, a page-specific logo, and this tiny quote in the middle: "Please note: this resource was last updated in January 2022". ??? The COVID forecast page for Canada looks like this:  The advice is never going to stop being relevant but I'm not sure who any of the rest of that is meant to convince or help. I also don't know what they mean by lowest point of the pandemic but I guess it's July-August 2020, which is by now a gaping void in public consciousness. *Statistics Canada does this, but slowed down the pace of updates in 2020 for some reason.

nexous posted:So I got my MRI, had to take off my Vflex and they had no surgical so I raw dogged it. Then apparently they messed up my IV so they injected the contrast into not a vein and it burned like the dickens. I mashed the alert button but the MRI tech said that was normal and it took me 5 minutes to convince them it was not normal because I’ve had it before. They went and asked the radiologist and all of a sudden there’s several new unmasked people in the room telling me to sign some document and that this happens sometimes just ice it down when you get home. They re-IV the other arm and complete the MRI and glad to get out of the maskless hellhole. baby if you want some readimasks so this doesn’t happen again hit up my PMs.

even for the 45+ at 6k/yr, it's only a fraction of the more exclusive club fees in the places this service exists. a steal, really

Does long covid risk accumulate with each infection, or is it a flat rate? Any sources, preferably from the mother fuckin' CDC?
