I know I haven't said much about it, but legitimately, "running away" was one of the most pivotal life decisions I've ever made. Probably THE first major life decision I've made, and also the best. If you have an opportunity to go, leave. Get out of there. If you are not safe at home, emotionally, physically, whatever, and you're able to leave, do it. It's going to suck such major ass for a while because you're going to have to deal with the scars they've left on you, but I wholeheartedly, full-throatedly, with-my-chest promise you that it is going to be better. You're going to be better. If you have the privilege of being able to escape, no matter how difficult it feels, then RUN.

Why medical gown is important during an MRI Scan?

Wearing a medical gown during an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is important for several reasons, primarily related to patient safety and the quality of the imaging procedure:

✔️Safety from Magnetic Hazards ✔️Image Quality ✔️Patient Comfort ✔️Hygiene and Infection Control ✔️Standard Protocol

wearing a medical gown during an MRI scan is not just about providing a magnetic-free garment; it is an essential safety and quality control measure. It helps protect the patient, maintain the integrity of the imaging process, and ensure adherence to established medical protocols and safety standards.

I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE YOUR FLUFF WRITING I NEED MORE. Can i get some Logan being mean to everyone around him except you?? Scary boyfriend privileges go crazy xoxoxoxooxoxo

It’s Our World (Logan Howlett)

A/N: fluffy, mean!logan, whipped bf!logan, 18+ f!reader

Everyone at the school was tip toeing around Logan for the last two days. Not that he even needed to be here, but he had simply made it clear that he was not going anywhere until you returned from the mission Professor Xavier had sent you on with Jean and Kurt.

Logan would sleep in your bed, making sure no one even tried to come into your space and ruin it with their scent. He was very rude about people taking items out of the fridge that he knew you had picked out for yourself. “You wanna keep that hand, Summers?” Logan asked, sitting at the counter where he was eating a sandwich, not even looking up at Cyclops who let out an annoyed sigh, but put the Diet Coke back in the fridge anyway.

Storm would ask him to help out with some tedious task and he’d grumble about how he’s not here to babysit the kids. “Why are you here then?” She’d ask in annoyance and he’d simply ignore her.

Rogue was about to walk into your room when Logan suddenly appeared at the door with a raised eyebrow. The young girl jumped back in surprise, a hand over her chest as she gasped. “Logan,” She exclaimed, eyes wide as she feared she had been caught. “Look, Y/N has always let me borrow her perfume.”

“Do I look like Y/N? Take it up with her when she gets back.” Logan said as he slammed the door in the poor girl’s face who just rolled her eyes.

Overall, everyone is used to this side of Logan, it hardly ever fazes anyone. What they are definitely not used to is his more docile side, which only comes out when you’re around.

The sound of the jet returning alone was enough to bring a smile to Logan’s face and he was quick to go out and meet you at the hangar. “Hey, darling,” You greet him with a tight hug and a relieved sigh. “I’m so glad you’re still here.” You say, feeling his muscled arms and broad back underneath your palms as his frame is engulfing you in a blanket of safety.

“I told you I wasn’t leaving.” He murmured into your neck, kissing you softly there as his hands caressed your waist and lower back. “Let’s get you out of this suit, hm?” You nod with a blush as he guides you to the armory.

Back in the mansion, you’re greeted with a tight hug from Rogue that almost knocks you over, and Logan’s hand is quick to steady you by the small of your back. “I’m so glad you’re back!” The young girl squeals and you laugh. “Logan’s been guarding your room like a junkyard dog.” She whispered, aware that Logan could hear her anyway and you look at him to see him shrug.

“He just holed up in there cause he missed me.” You tease, wrapping an arm around his waist and caressing his torso softly as he hums and kisses the top of your head. “Right, baby?” You ask looking up at him with your chin on his pectoral.

Logan nodded and kisses your nose softly. “I did miss you. Sorry if I was an ass, Rogue.” He says which catches the young mutant off guard while you smile at your man knowing under all the leather and hard stares he’s just a man who needs love, and you’re happy to supply it to him.

“Y/N, can we talk to the new mutant now? I’d like to go ahead and run an MRI.” Jean suddenly says as soon as she rounds a corner and finds you.

You’re exhausted and you want to take a shower and lay down with Logan for the night, but you’re moving away from him as if you’re going to say yes and he tightens his hold on you. “Mutant’s still gonna be here in the morning, Jean,” He says, already taking you by the waist and leading you to the staircase. “You can run your little tests then.” Jean gives him a sharp look while you’re kissing his chest and cooing against his jaw that you appreciate him so much. “It’s our world, baby,” He says with a wink. “They just live here.”

Revolutionizing Healthcare: The MRI-Compatible Pacemaker

In medical technology, breakthroughs often pave the way for enhanced patient care and diagnostic capabilities. One such innovation making waves in the field is the MRI-compatible pacemaker, a marvel that merges cutting-edge cardiac care with the flexibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology.

Unlocking New Horizons with MRI-Compatible Products Traditionally, pacemaker patients faced limitations when needing MRI scans due to potential risks associated with the magnetic fields. However, MRI-compatible pacemakers have changed the landscape, offering a safe solution for individuals requiring cardiac support and diagnostic imaging.

Enhanced Monitoring with MRI-Compatible Monitors Integrating MRI-compatible monitors further enhances patient care by providing real-time cardiac data during imaging procedures. These monitors ensure continuous monitoring of vital signs, allowing healthcare professionals to monitor patient well-being closely throughout the MRI scan.

Seamless Transport with MRI-Compatible Technology Transporting patients with pacemakers for MRI scans used to be a logistical challenge. However, with MRI-compatible transport solutions, such as specialized gurneys and wheelchairs, healthcare facilities can ensure safe and efficient transportation of patients to and from the imaging suite without compromising pacemaker function or patient safety.

Breaking Barriers for Improved Patient Care The introduction of MRI-compatible pacemakers represents a significant advancement in healthcare. It breaks down barriers that once limited diagnostic options for patients with cardiac devices. With the ability to safely undergo MRI scans, individuals with pacemakers can now benefit from more comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and timely medical interventions when needed.

Conclusion: Embracing Innovation for Better Healthcare As we embrace the era of MRI-compatible medical devices, we witness a transformative shift in patient care. The MRI-compatible pacemaker is a shining example of innovation-driven progress in healthcare, offering safer diagnostic options and improved outcomes for individuals with cardiac conditions. We can look forward to even greater strides in patient care and diagnostic capabilities with continued technological advancements.

MRI Emergency Rundown Unit safety test and battery replacement

(Nov. 18)

from CNN (Nov. 18)

Title:

CNN analysis: Video suggests IDF might have rearranged weaponry at Al-Shifa prior to news crew visits

Text:

An Israel Defense Forces video on November 15 showing a tour of Hamas weaponry found at Al-Shifa hospital shows less weaponry at the scene than in later footage filmed by international news crews, indicating the weaponry may have been moved or placed there prior to news crews arriving.   CNN compared footage published by the IDF online with footage taken by Fox News, which was granted access to the site in the hours afterwards. IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus leads the tour in the IDF video and a watch on his arm shows the time to be 13:18.  Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst later visits the scene when it is dark. He says in his report it is “the middle of the night.”  Yingst is shown a bag located behind an MRI machine inside the hospital with two AK-47 guns visible on top of it. However, the IDF video filmed earlier shows only one AK-47 gun. It is unclear where the second AK-47 gun came from and why it is not visible in the earlier IDF clip.  In the intervening hours, the IDF also posted online a photo of the weaponry purportedly found at Al-Shifa hospital. The WhatsApp file name for this photo indicates it was taken at 17:35; this places it after the IDF tour of the MRI compound but almost certainly before the Fox News crew arrive.  It is possible the weaponry was removed from the scene and replaced prior to the news crews arriving. However this does not explain why more guns are visible when the press arrive than in the original IDF video.  The BBC was also granted access to the hospital the following day, November 16, and two AK-47 guns are still visible on top of the bag inside the MRI room.  Israeli military responds: The IDF told CNN the discrepancy between the military’s own video and the BBC footage was “due to the fact that more weaponry and terrorist assets were discovered throughout the day.”  “Suggestions that the IDF is manipulating the media are incorrect,” it added. “We are acting with full transparency whilst maintaining the safety of our troops and operational readiness.” This post has been updated with the IDF's response to questions about the videos.

When incorporating disability into your politics, it is good to remember that the allocation of resources is one of the central questions that divides political ideologies. It is the “why”, whereas most of the other questions are sorting out the “how”.

I think one of the core tensions that plays out between disability movements and other liberatory movements is that knowledge of disability fundamentally reshapes how you understand the allocation of resources. In one sense, to be disabled is to need resources allocated to you because you cannot get them on your own.

•Disabled people know, experientially, that we need flattened hierarchy; the hierarchies of the medical establishment kill us and further disable us. They strip away our access to the resource that is medical knowledge and medical care.

•We know that we need an ecological relationship that is sustainable and stable, because the current eugenic environmental management system is sometimes the cause, and more often the exacerbator, of our disability. But also because we know that the scarcity of resources it is progressively creating will kill us first

•We know that we need continual industrial production to maintain the means by which we can be diagnosed and treated, and that even a short term collapse of production will kill many of us.

•we also know that there must be a fundamental reorganization of all society because we know that the current organization is also killing us, and that methods of gradual change will not prioritize us, and that many of us will be dead by malice or neglect before they come into effect.

•we know that we need ongoing, active care to survive.

•we know that a society cannot meet the needs of those whose needs it does not understand. We know that any plan for meeting needs, or granting rights, or ensuring values must explicitly include us, because we know that the nature of disability is that things do not work the same for us as they do for others.

The lived experience of disabled people creates a direct challenge to the ideas of resource allocation that those with less experience have developed. We see the gaps in their proposals because we know we are the ones who will fall through them. It is easy for an abled political theorist to say “we will work it out when we get there”. But someone who will die with 2 missed doses? they must say “will we get there?”

This question is often met with dismissal, for understandable reasons. At its heart, the existence of the disabled reminds the theorists that their ideas are incomplete.

But, for a moment, I would ask you to consider us a prompt, instead of a threat. Yes, we can point to the gaps in your ideology. But we are not doing this to hurt you, or even to say you are wrong. We point to the gaps because we want to help you fill them.

So, political thinkers, take a moment to imagine your world. Imagine the look, the feel, the smell. Think of your social relations, your food, your housing. Conjure up every beautiful dream for society that you’ve built.

Now ask yourself

1. In this society, how would someone get their medication reliably, Every single day? How can they ensure the quality and safety of that medication?

2. In this society, how would someone seek information about what’s wrong in their body? Are there widely available high-tech diagnostics, like MRI machines? (Bonus question: how does your society go about inventing and creating new high tech diagnostics?)

3. How would someone who cannot move their body bellow their neck get around. How would they get food, water, shelter, socialization, and freedom to leave their domicile and participate in the world?

4. How would someone who cannot read, write, or speak due to intellectual disability be able to live, and to have meaningful access to all the things that you believe humans deserve in your society?

5. In trying to build this society, transitioning from our current world to this new one, how would the people mentioned in above questions survive the transition?

And try to answer these questions. It’s okay if you don’t know right away. It’s okay if you have to think about it, do some research, or talk to some people. You love dreaming about the world we could build, right? This is more information for you to develop and refine that dream.

These questions are not exhaustive, at all. But they are a good starting point to check for gaps in your plan for reality, and to see who is currently falling through.
