Just a quick story of what NOT to do

About 6 years ago (at age 23F) I came into the ER with a sudden, extreme headache. Fortunately they called a stroke code and got me into CT immediately. As I was moved out of the tube, the rad tech said, “I never know how to say this kind of thing… you have a bleed in your brain. Is there anyone you want us to call?” I said, “I don’t know, am I going to die?!” To which he replied, “no… I don’t know. The team will take care of you.”

Needless to say, it was extremely scary and vague for me to hear! Why would my first priority be to call someone? Just stop the bleed!

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something?
