California (and maybe other states)has implemented mandatory dose tracking for ct due to poorly designed cerebral perfusion studies leaving bands of baldness on patients.


Also radiation is scary and poorly understood by the general population.

This stuff is super cool it is basically radioactive cocaine, by measuring the difference in uptake between the lobes of your brain they can tell if the shakes you’re having is Parkinson’s or something else.

Edit: the metal taste is probably gadolinium an mri contrast agent. But is a known reaction to a couple of imaging agents so depends. A PET scan uses radioactive sugar that’s why you sit quietly for 30 minutes after injection . Cancer is more metabolicly active then the rest of you so it gobbles up more tagged sugar and glows brighter. On the scan.

While many people would see that as a flaw in modern medicine, I'd applaud the doctors for going down the list of probabilies and willing to admit to being wrong / being IN the wrong / not knowing everything instantly.

I still chuckle at the thought of various radiology technicians placating a patient "It's totally safe, I swear!" as they then dive behind a blast shield. OSHA indeed.

edit: jesus christ people I know about cumulative exposure can you not see a joke? Or is this Engineers.txt?

But it’s basically there own dam fault for picking something that shortened to their common misconception.

We had a radiological canister show up in the hospital rehab-gym once, some transport person left it in the pocket on the back of this wheel chair...so the tech pulls this thing out, is like "what is this???", and it's like a tungsten tube with radioactive hazard symbols on it...I'm like "DROP AND RUN!" and I get really freaked out, trying to argue with people to leave the gym right loving now. Turns out it was whatever they use to house dyes for nuclear stress tests or something...then the tech went ahead and cracked it open and it was empty. I had just read that story from Brazil about those dudes taking apart that chemo machine and I freaked the hell out (thanks chemistry thread).


kinda similar to this but longer and narrower, scared the hell out of me.

Feel assured that you had the correct reaction. You should find out who your facilities radiation safety officer is so you know who to tell if it happens again.

A bad dad joke made worse by the subject matter math.

A mathematician was well know to have a fear of flying, specifically he was afraid that there would be a bomb on the plane that would explode and kill everyone. One of his colleagues sees him at a conference in LA just days after he gave a speech in New York City. Amazed, she went and asked him how he conquered his fear.


“Well, you see I calculated the odds of there being a bomb on the plane it was low but still unacceptably high. Then I calculated the odds of there being two bombs on a plane and the odds where so small as to be almost infinitesimal.”

“So the answer was simple, I just bring my own bomb.”


Thank you, thank you I will be here all week.

Well drat, always heard the word spores and assumed it was fungal...learn something new every day. The other thing that hospital people carry is MRSA. We would swab patients nasally and if they had it they'd go into isolation rooms. Which is a total double standard because it's likely that many of us that work in hospital have it in our noses too, but we never get swabbed for it or anything, and it's not an issues unless we end up immunocompromised. At least that's the theory I've heard from many floor nurses.

Years ago I had a conversation with an infectious disease doc and he said the rate of MRSA infection in healthcare workers wasn't much different from the general population. Which has held up anecdotally because most of time I haven't seen my coworkers put in contact isolation when they get admitted. Even the ones that are terrible about hand hygiene.

I will say we all joke about having MRSA almost constantly though.

Its good and wholesome but need some Harbor Freight jokes.

Giving the face shields to the medical field is probably for the best because sketchily certified shields will still stop sneezes while it might not stop shrapnel.

Funny they're calling out 5 and 7 mil gloves. Would bet you could check that the 7 mil are also just 5 mil in a 7 mil box.

Do we really want the medical field relying on the free stuff from Harbor Freight? That stuff barely lasts a day in the garage.

Do you think they're making them use coupons to get it free? They're always hardasses at the counter and have you grab the ad sitting there and rip the coupon out.

My hospital filled out an application this morning will let you know if/when it shows up. Word on the street is that shipments of surgical masks from China should start arriving at the end of the week. I will believe it when I see it.

Our burn rate of ppe has been unbelievable. The lack of tests has exacerbated the problem, every patient that is sitting around waiting for their corona results sucks up a ton of equipment.

The community has really come through though, construction companies, schools and even random individuals have donated enough so that we aren’t reusing masks yet. It is only a matter of time though.

gently caress CNA forever. They make lovely bargaining agreements that don’t serve their members and stir up trouble just to be annoying shits.

The reason the rn’s aren’t allowed to wear just any n95 is because they are not wearing them when performing patient care. The shortfall in supply at the moment means the masks aren’t available when you really need them because some goober is just wearing it walking around.

But also gently caress Kaiser their profit seeking bs only serves to undermine everything in this current crisis.

It seems like this is a terrible idea in a lot of ways besides the obvious setting off a bomb in your face ways.

Wouldn’t removing all the coolant, even if it was super heated, damage the engine. Or is it basically turbo hosed at that point?
