X-rays
Does anyone do x-ray transcription?  I haven't done it in quite a while, but have been offered a position.  I know absolutely nothing about Rad-net!  How do you think your line count compares to acute care lines?   Thanks a lot!
RE: X-rays
I answered your question yesterday on flow voids. I do diagnostic imaging where I work, and my hospital uses RadNet. I cannot answer your question about lines simply because it is too subjective, but if you want to talk about the functionality of Cerner's platform, I would be happy to talk with you via E-mail.
x-rays
X-rays are not my favorite, but when I am asked to do them I make $1.50 per report.   Good luck!
weird x-rays
I used to work in a radiology department and we had quite a few patients with such "accidents". It was amazing how many people just happened to be naked and "fell" on mason jars, etc. I actually got to see some of the x-rays. Wild! I still think the AA batteries are pretty creative. Looks like it should have went with something else though. Wonder what made him decide on AA? Why not AAA? Or C? D? Okay, I'm getting silly, but really, how on earth do they decide to do that and how do they just pick some random object?
Back x-rays
The x-rays were ordered for a slight curvature of the spine -- no accident or anything like that.   As for the Gardasil . . .yes I have researched it over and over again and I have had cervical cancer myself, still I would never want that particular injection.  Several girls have died.  Even more girls have had severe permanent side effects in the forms of disease, blood clots, permanent jont damage, ect.  I read about two cases where girls had been hospitalized for 100+ days after Gardasil.  It only protects you again 4 types -- if that.  You still need to be screened on a regular basis.  If caught early, cervical cancer is very treatable.  I am a survivor.  What's the point?  To take the risk of death in order to protect yourself from something that you probably will not get anyway?  Something that is very treatable should that situation arise.  I have also read that 40% of girls who have had Gardasil go on to develop other cancers.  You are trading one for another?  I feel that is just insane.  Also now there have been miscarriages.  I feared birth defects and such.  I see that starting to happen as I follow the developments. 
X-rays and Gardasil
My sister was in a sledding accident when we were in high school and she had rib x-rays. She now has 2 kids. My daughter had quite a few x-rays when she she was diagnosed with scoliosis. No one ever said anything about her age and future fertility.

I also did not have her get Gardasil when she was underage and I told her why ~ no one has any idea what the long term effects are. When she turned 18, she did her own research and also decided she didn't want it.
The x-rays should not cause infertility if so - sm
then I guess my one daughter is in trouble as she has had over 20 chest x-rays to date (and 20+ abdominal ultrasounds)....all part of her cancer screening...she now gets them yearly as we finally passed that hump on the cancer surveilance calendar back in August. However with her x-rays they do put a shield in front of her from waist down or she wears a special pelvic wrap. I am sure they could do that for you and still get what they need for her spine, unless they need the whole thing of course. But one x-ray should not cause infertility.
mammos and chest x-rays
I type a variety of reports and maybe 10 mammos and 10 chest x-rays a couple of times a week.  I type more CTs and MRIs.  I think it depends on what accounts your company has, how many people are on that account. There is at least two other people typing on the same account so I am sure they get some of the mammos and chest also. It is more of a typing pool so you just take what is next.  I have always been a RADMT and never type that many mammos in a day.  
infertility and x-rays of the back
Our ped. wants to have my 17-year-old daughter's back x-rayed.  Does this cause infertility.  I was in a car accident years ago, before having any children and the ER doc would not x-ray my back because he said I was young and didn't have any children yet.   Also, the ped. kicked my out of the room and tried to push Gardasil on my daugther after I adamently refused it.  More and more deaths/side effects are being exposed.  She is a minor -- she cannot yet make that choice.  Isn't this illegal? 
1) No, back x-rays do not cause infertility.
2) Did you leave your daughter alone in the room with the pediatrician? If so, why?
3) Did the pediatrician "push" Gardasil on your daughter or did they simply reiterate the facts out of your presence.
4) What state requires a breast exam for a driver's permit? Our state does not even require one for a commercial license, even though they do require a PE.
5) If you are this unhappy with your daughter's medical provider, you should change physicians.
6) No, it is not illegal to provide medical information to a minor, even out of the presence of their legal guardian.
I use the @ for time of exam when doing chest x-rays - sm
but never for anything else.
Ours do - hosp. is considering having our x-rays done here, but READ in India! (nm)
:(
x-rays very small part of diagnosing RA. sm
If he did blood work like CBC, sed rate, CRP, rheumatoid factor, did an exam and a history, more than likely he has enough for the dx. X-ray may not show early RA but in later RA used more to show progression of disease rather than dx.
How about when they're flipping through x-rays and all you can hear is that racket?? nm
