Ice Storm

Last week in clinicals was pretty much a bust. I was there on Monday, then missed Tuesday and Wednesday due to the storm. My clinical site was actually closed on Wed. due to the weather. It took me a few minutes to get back into the swing of things this week. I am feeling comfortable with the table coils and can switch them out fairly quickly. I am still seeing unusual things while screening my patients - I had a false arm this week (note: always remove...) and my first metal worker, who told me a great way to get metal shavings out of your hands. He uses a strong magnet to bring the shavings to the surface so he can pluck them out. In other news, the MSK Radiologist spent a few minutes explaining post-arthrogram sequences to me so now I understand what she is looking at and looking for.

I am hoping to get on the scanner soon!
