Understanding Statement re: Spinal Fusion Hardware Moving?

By

Hello,

35F, multi-trauma injuries, many rx, super-morbid obesity, psychological issues.

I was approved for SSDI recently after a three year long battle following total disability from a near-fatal car accident. My approval letter notes something that greatly concerns me and I'm hoping I can get some answers here. I've sent a message to my new ortho surgeon who's taken over my case after my move from NY to VA, but have not heard back. I don't think my original surgeon would answer me as I'm no longer under his care. Spinal fusions were 2/2019, here is the section of concern:

"Moreover, the clamant's 2021 radiological examinations continued to demonstrate significant positive findings. A July 29, 2021 x-ray of the thoracolumbar spine showed findings of post-surgical changes of the thoracolumbar spine and bony resorption about the pedicle screws at L3 was suggestive of loosening."

Can someone please explain what this means? Thank you, kindly.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/

Radiology program

By
I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
