David Burk UltrasoundTechnologist (1989–present)Updated August 7, 2020. I have been an ultrasound tech for almost 30 years. There could beseveral reasons why they did not have the screen positioned so you could see. Some techs do not want to continually answer the patient’s question of“What is that?” The techneeds to be focused on what they are looking at so as not to miss any pathology.If the tech misses pathology then the doctor reading it does not see it.Ultrasound is very user-dependent and if the tech does not image pathologybecause they are distracted, then the patient will go untreated for saidpathology. Sometimes it is ergonomics. Performing ultrasound creates a lot ofrepetitive stress injuries in the shoulder, neck, wrist, and back. It may seemeasy to just rub a transducer on someone's belly but, in reality, it is not.For some, turning the screen even slightly exacerbates already sore and tiredjoints. Patients can sometimes pick up when we are taking imagesof something that is not right. The average person may not understand everything they are looking at,however, if we are measuring a large mass on an organ it can be quite obvious.Technologists are not to reveal pathology to patients, and if the patient askswhat we are measuring, we do not want to lie and say it is nothing or revealwhat it really is. That is the doctor’s responsibility. And, despite doing thisfor many years I can sometimes be wrong about something that may or may not betrue pathology. That is why we work closely with the radiologist to discussscans and come to a collaborated consensus. That is one reason I like thisfield, because I am constantly learning. If it happens again you can always ask why you can't see the screen. Ibet most will say because they need to concentrate on what they are doing whichis a good thing. You want your ultrasound tech to do the best job possible. My note- Once I had to take twoultra sound scan with oneweek difference. Certain items were slightly different which might not be. Myfamily doctor told- Scan report is based on certain parametres. Hence there canbe slight variations which need not bebothered. Q2 Why didn't Pandavas spareVikarn who spoke on behalf of Draupadhi opposing Duryodhan? Did Krishna haveanything to do with this?

Sarcasm Q4 If sodium explodes whenintroduced to water, why doesn’t salt explode, but rather dissolve? A4 Mike Jones Over 30 yearsin the technology industry. June 24 One electron. Elemental sodium is made up of a bunch of atoms that really want to giveaway an electron. If you dump a chunk of it into water all the atomsimmediately start trying to give that pesky electron to the nearby oxygenatoms, displacing the hydrogen they’re bonded to. This results in a lot ofnewly positively charged ions crammed together, and the electrical repulsion can cause anexplosion. Sodium chloride (salt), on the other hand, is an ionic molecule where the chlorine atom hasalready strongly grabbed onto that outer electron of the sodium atoms,so there’s no transition from neutral to positively charged ions when it’sdumped in water.

As soon as I came out, I drank tea andate within half an hour, but I didn't feel any complications? Is it safe? A6 Thyaga Rajan FormerFormer Private Secretary (1980–2009)Sat As long as you do not manifest or observe any symptoms or side effects,be rest assured that you are safe and healthy. However, do not share or motivate others to follow yoursteps as the same can spell trouble to others. My note- Normally doctors ornurses ask about breakfast taken or not, any diseases/medical report, oxygen in blood and pulse test, BP test etc before vaccination(My experience inHindumission Hospital in Tambaram, Chennai) Q7 Why are the doctors andstaff working in government hospitals so rude? A7 Tushar Joshi A Doctor,an avid reader, and a passionate writer. Sun Because the expectations from doctors in government setting - is other worldly. Let me tell you a story to explain this. The Case of The Late Lunch There was a man who visited the government offices in the hopes ofsubmitting some of his documents and claiming a benefit as per a new governmentscheme. This was the 4thtime he had visited the office. Earlier attempts to make contact with theperson-in-charge had failed. The babu(the real person holding power in govt offices) saw him sittingnear the gate to the office. He cast a rude glance at the man as if to mock hisdesperate attempt to get something that he actually deserved. Even though the men was enraged, he knew that it was his job that was tobe done and so he kept mum. Hours passed as he waited for his number to come. When his chance actually came, theBabu announced that the official would be having an early lunch. It was 12:30 PM. Official lunch time was 1-2 PM. He was dejected as hesaw the Babu carry hot samosas in the office. When the lunch time was over and he thought he would get his chance, thebabu announced that the previous papers he presented had one slight mistake inthem and he would need to correct them and come again. Enraged as he was, he again keptmum. As he was coming back to hiscar at 4 PM, he fell from the stairs and was rushed to the nearby governmenthospital. After waiting for 10 minutes in the grossly overfilled OPD, as his numberwas about to come, he heard the doctor speak to the patient before him- ‘I would be taking a 15 minutes break for lunch. The doctor who wassupposed to start from 2 PM had some emergency and I am filling in for him. Wewill continue after that.’ He couldn't control it any longer. Thundering towards the doc, he said ina loud voice- ‘ How canyou be so rude and inconsiderate? Here I am waiting for 10 minuteswith what could possibly be a fracture, and you are thinking about lunch?’ This is the real life scenario- that every doctor faces and the scenariothat every citizen of India thinks is their birth right to create, in ahospital under government setup. A citizen who would piss their pants if a Babu of a government setupscolds them in front of 20 people, thinks it is quite normal to expect doctorsto be on their toes all the time. As happened in the story, no citizen objects to waiting hours, nocitizen objects to getting ridiculed and humiliated in government officesbecause- its their work that's on the line. But a 10 minute delay or seeing a doc spend 5 minutes on the phone( evenif they may be off duty) enrages the citizen to such an extent that they areready to call doctors rude and inconsiderate. If they could understand thesituation of doctors who have been carrying the burden of a dead healthcaresystem on their shoulders, they would know that we are not rude because it's our nature or that we want to belike that It's just that we all are destined to have a late lunch!

Q9 What is your opinionabout LIC in India? A9 Gopalkrishna Vishwanath TrueIndian, who feels at home anywhere in India.June 25 (271 words in this answer) I have a high opinion about LIC. Now I am too old for an LICpolicy and also don’t need itanymore but during my younger days and right up to to the age of 70, I was always covered byan LIC insurance policy. My first policy was for Rs 10K taken in early 1970 when I was still astudent and my parents paid the premium till I started earning. When I took a loan for building my house in 1985, I immediately took outa policy to cover that loan amount. I later took another policy to cover my loan when I purchased anapartment. I have never been withoutaccident insurance at any time in my life. All my policies have matured and I am now availing of Pensions from LIC. I have never had any unpleasant experience with LIC at any time in mylife. All my claims were settled promptly. I have never argued with those who told me that other forms of investmentare far better than investing in LIC. That was because I was not investing in LIC tomake money. I was investing in it for the protection of mydependents. I recommend LIC to everyone who has just begun his career and has startedearning. The benefits are the best and the premiums are the lowest when youtake an insurance policy at a young age. My faith in LIC is so strongthat I had no hesitation inresponding to a survey conducted by an MBA student. If you wish you too can respond to this survey. It will take just aminute or two.
