@DrJN_SportsMed @puresportsmed Look forward to reading and re-posting your interesting case studies - Welcome back

Milestone day for me - back to work after 3 months off…. Thank you again to all the amazing people who have supported me through this dark period to get to this point 🙏🥰 And thank you to @puresportsmed for being patient with me!

@morrisonMSK Why would your Rad’s press something hard enough to distort the tissue… patient positioning issue, can it be avoided ?

@ProscanMRI Doesn’t even matter… if you press something hard enough into the tissues and tape it down it will distort the soft tissue and create artifact even without susceptibility of its own

MRI techs: I love you but please stop deforming the skin surface and creating artifact with your skin markers

@mikehawk1993 @northwoods1980 It’s just a matter of time…

Couldn't care less on data showing ChatGPT smashes an LSAT or MCAT. Everyone knows very little correlation with future competency and everyone also understands the most important skill sets --not testable via this approach.

@spinedoctx @northwoods1980 Good perspective from “seeing the patient side of things”

What you are missing is that patients in your office demanding that something be done. And although on a macro basis they may not provide benefit there is a lot of benefit for a lot of patients and so it is something easy to try. Is it perfect evidence-based? No, but the reality is private practice medicine is a customer service business as well. Clinic is very hard. Good luck spending 25 minutes with every patient explaining to them that this shot doesn't work when it worked for their neighbor

Call me simple, but I’ve never fully understood the logic of chasing short-term results. For example, using steroid injections in an arthritic joint when the patient already knows they’ll eventually need a replacement. I can see the value if there’s a specific short-term goal like getting through a big event or an active summer but I doubt that’s the case in most scenarios. If me, I wouldn’t want steroids injected into my body I’d rather just have the joint replacement and move on with life. What am I missing? How often do you actually see a patient become asymptomatic after a steroid injection and enjoy years of relief? From what I’ve seen, the literature shows worse outcomes in patients who undergo multiple injections before eventually having arthroplasty. On top of that, steroids can harm bone health and have other neg physiologic effects. It feels like I’m missing something important here.

@northwoods1980 It’s a very good shout, and makes sense. We had our Consultant ask us recently for a patient to go for a light run for ?stress reaction

@ProscanMRI We don't generally either. A little experimentation here. I'm not sure it's necessary and I'm not aware of literature proving we need to do this however I didn't hate it.

Protocol question. I'm curious how many rads have their techs tape the toe in hyperextension for plantar plate tear evaluation/indication?

@Kdog1980YNWA @northwoods1980 Couldn’t agree more, patient positioning, making them feel relaxed comfortable is key !

@northwoods1980 @ProscanMRI We don’t. Patient positioning to pronounce specific anatomy is important ( like external rotation of arm for shoulder joint ) but a comfortable patient who can keep still is more important

@Microinteracti1 I don’t think you need AI to spot the cyst … most on here should be able to spot this - Source. ?

When AI Exposed a Medical Blind Spot – and the Doctors Chose Arrogance A 48-year-old man in Rogaland, Norway, lived with crippling back and leg pain. His doctor sent him to Unilabs, one of Europe’s leading private diagnostic imaging providers, for an MRI scan. Unilabs’ official report concluded that the images showed only “mild degenerative changes.” No clear explanation for his symptoms. The patient was left with nothing.

@DrJN_SportsMed Sorry to hear James, wishing you a speedy recovery ! It’s much needed for yourself, family and your patients

Update - L radicular leg pain & foot drop almost resolved Unfortunately symptoms evolved to become bilateral gluteal, pelvic & groin - 2 weeks ago When the pain got to 9-10/10 & I couldn't sleep / walk, I decided to forego watching the Hungarian Grand Prix & head to Urgent Care at PGH instead - raised CRP & neutrophilia MRI on Sunday at Fortius (amazing service) - raging bacterial disciitis & epidural abscess Don't tell anyone but it's affecting the psoas so I can't SLR 😆 So now in hospital awaiting PICC line and 2-3 months antibiotics 😕❎

@Flufibunny Like to book ?

Shared by former #rovers women’s player Rachel Dugdale on instagram. If anyone can help please reach out to her directly. One day I won’t have to spend my time asking why this club can’t treat these women at the bare minimum decently, with compassion and common sense.

@CFSH67 @matt_vanswol This may be pushing it :) Sales Grab

@ProscanMRI @matt_vanswol Depends where you book, another starts at £199 - also depends on what you are scanning.

@gohstofcoals @AndrewScheidl A doctor waiting 16 months for a CT Scan A patient risking late diagnosis over ideology. The system is so broken that choosing not to go private can be life-threatening. It’s not just frustrating. It’s dangerous.

My wife had to go private for MRI for a potential bone tumor because it would take 9 months otherwise. Her doctor admits that she herself is being screened for BRAIN CANCER and is waiting over 16 months for a CT scan! A doctor! My wife is horrified and asks why on earth she doesn’t just pay for one. “I will never pay for private healthcare out of principle” She’s literally risking death for ideology. I told my wife it’s time for a new doctor. One with a brain.

Our 'free' healthcare system in Ontario, just this week, from our family's experience: - son-in-law with likely torn ACL is told it'll be weeks for an MRI. Forced to go to Quebec and pay $900 to get one within the week. - daughter-in-law with intermittent tonsillitis refused tonsillectomy because it's not an emergency. Desperate, she will now fly out of province and pay thousands to get it done privately - son referred to imaging clinic for a concerning condition. Waits two months for the call. Calls the clinic booker who locates his file. Booker eventually agrees that, yes, they should probably book him in for an appointment in a couple of months. - friend of family with a severe hereditary susceptibility to breast cancer is given an imaging requisition and told to get it done as a high priority. Imaging clinic: no, you're not a high priority. This, we would do in one or two years. I don't remember it ever being this broken before.

@CFSH67 @matt_vanswol Or Maybe £349 😁

@matt_vanswol Private MRI scan in the UK starts at £395.

Interesting - fairly rapid progression of L4/5 disc & end plate changes over 1 year
