  • Wanna something to cry about?

    Here(Central Europe)

    From the moment you are confirmed pregnant you are not allowed to work in any capacity that could endanger you pregnancy - no heavy lifting,no night shift, no overtime, no patient contact that could lead to infections or endangerment (e.g. needle injuries, anesthesia gas, blood, violent patients, etc.). If the hospital can’t find a suitable position (e.g. in the outpatient clinics,etc.) you stay at home with full pay - and you are basically unfireable, especially due to anything pregnancy related. Six weeks before the estimated due date you are forbidden to work unless you expressly volunteer to do so (and even then the conditions above must be met). (This is,btw, partially an international agreement by an UN organisation that the US refuses to ratify)

    8 weeks after the birth the mother is not allowed to work (unless in very special circumstances), longer for twins,etc. The mother receives full pay and benefits, e.g. vacation days,etc. still accrue.

    For 12 months mothers or fathers can stay at home with up to 1800€/month (depending on their pre-birth income), the same money will be payed for 14 months if the other partner stays at home for 2 additional months.(E.g. the mother can stay at home for 12 and the father for 2, or both for 7 months,etc.). The employer must retain the job for the mother/father under normal circumstances. Until 3 years one parent (at a time) can stay at home unpayed and the job needs to be partially maintained.

    Parents also have a right to work part time in most scenarios.

    I know, in the grand scheme of things for you at the moment this is hardly the most pressing issue, but you guys really get cheated over there. I feel bad for you.







  • Play a reverse uno card and ask the interviewer how long they are working for the company,which position they started in, what they liked and disliked about the company and what was the last thing that made them smile while at work.

    Seriously. Do it.

    Both interviewers do work in the same position they started in after 5 years? Looks like there is not much room for development. They are all there for less than 2 years? When the company is not a startup it’s likely staff retention is bad. If both interviewers get nervous about the “like/dislike” question and only name cliché stuff: They might be afraid that they say something the other will report to someone.

    And if they refuse to answer these questions totally? Well. Fuck their company culture, obviously.

    Honestly,I think I have a problem.


  • It depends. MRI and to an even larger extent CT scans are “targeted” to an area. People are very very rarely scanned “totally”.

    E.g. you want to look at the cervical spine and therefore only examine this area. While you will also see neighbouring regions these are not necessarily full resolution (only if they can have an impact). So if the imaging run is being done for an area that is not affected much by the fat tissue it won’t produce more data necessarily (a cardio MRI is a good example). If you do a abdominal or pelvis MRI/CT is normally does include all tissue and therefore will produce more data.

    (Take this with a grain of salt though, while I worked inhospital for a while I am primarily a paramedic and more into repairing vital signs than radiology. While we have mobile CTs nowadays they are brain only and not my area of expertise)

    There is an exception for the real complicated cases like the one I mentioned, though. As we didn’t want to do the whole transport effort 4 weeks later again because another speciality found another issue the patient was indeed scanned almost completely" (with breaks in-between as that gets uncomfortable fast).

    (Sadly enough the whole thing was done 6 weeks later again,indeed, as the patient had suffered from an acute stroke which later killed them. Sad story,really. Never had a chance in life)



  • No shit, I once had the chance to accompany a patient to an large aninmal hospital for an MRI.

    The problem: It was so far away that the patient needed to be airlifted. Which was far beyond the capacity of regular HEMS. So they called in the military and they send a fucking CH-53 cargo helicopter. These things are huge and loud. But cool.

    That was one interesting ride. Somewhat embarrassing for the patient (who was not in on weight level due to simply eating too much - patient had a massive and life altering orphan hormonal disease) but patient kept somewhat good spirits and the volunteer fire brigade did a good job blocking the view.

    Nowadays human medicine has improved - you can now simply use an open MRI with specialised gurneys. They usually can take more than 400kg, sometimes 500kg.


  • Thanks mate for the kind words. If you are that far down the spiral again, let us know. Personally I rather read a DM from you than read about your funeral.

    And I get it. Even the fire part. Fire does send a message. We all know that powerful photo of the monk.

    The human who is responsible for half of my fire-PTBS wanted to send auch a message. But it instead fucked people up. Not only myself, back then a 19 year old fresh paramedic graduate. Who now, multiple decades later sees that human in his dreams. Well. Not actually. I see my gloves melting because the flesh I am working on his still so hot. I don’t see the actual human.

    There are only a few things I truely fear. I went to conflict regions as a job for ages… But there are few things I dear like fire/burns. Rabbies, some cancers, ALS. But fire still is something else. Because it is more cruel. Unless someone really needs that fix to understand why it’s a bad idea I spare you the details.

    Yunohost is okayish. Some apps sadly are badly maintained and therefore upgraded with more delay than I considered acceptable (but that has improved afaik)and integration into a single “look and feel” is a bit lacking. Nevertheless it’s solid in the end.

    If you are willing to pay something Cloudron may be an alternative for you as well - very well maintained product, good support team and rock solid from my experience - and it’s a non-US/non-China company. (German to be exact) But it costs money for more than 2 applications. I nevertheless went with them - I don’t self host as a hobby, I self-host because I want shit to work. Between job and family I have no time to fiddle around with things and keep everything updated on a short notice. I have project where I can do that, but they are not something my family or myself depend on. (And they integrate nicely with Cloudron as you can add “custom” Apps/use it as a proxy and OpenID Provider)
