Thou shalt not refuse to swear in elected officials because you’re desperately trying to cover up sex crimes by billionaire pedophiles.

Thank you, Bill. Trying to understand if this is a magnet problem or a siting problem.

Siemens Healthineers sees FDA Class I recall over ice buildups in MRI scanners The FDA is amplifying a recall effort underway at Siemens Healthineers related to several of its MRI machines, linked to their helium containment and the potential for a dangerous rupture | The FDA is...

Anyone in #MRIsky have any details on the Siemens MRI quench risk recall? Is the concern for the blockage in the cryostat / neck-tube, or in the standard designs of the quench pipe?

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Prof. Bernd Wintersperger and @tobiasgilk.bsky.social for their insightful feedback on the #MRI Patient Education Poster I shared yesterday. We included their suggestions in this updated version, that will soon be available online.

And if I’m picking on Siemens, how did their MRI warning signs make it out of usability testing with the largest word at the top of the sign being the made-up β€œMagnetom”? Doesn’t that convey to the reader that the sign is in a language other than theirs?

100% agree with the sentiment, but I take issue with at least one part of the execution. When was the last time a hip prosthesis = contraindication for MRI b/c safety?

According to Trump, the dinosaurs went extinct because they took paracetamol tablets and became unproductive autistic members of dinosaur society who vaccinated their dinosaur babies which turned them into chickens

Rapture-naive here… is the rapture like Santa, circling the globe in the dark (is there a functional β€œrapture-o’clock” in each time-zone), or is all across the globe at once like a Thanos snap? The instruction manual is not at all clear…

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

β€œIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Right now, MRI interactions aren’t effectively identifiable in the adverse event data made public.

That would be a welcome collateral benefit if it was easier to recognize design and/or documentation problems with devices relative to MRI safety.

2 minutes of your time can help MRI safety

I've just added a 'citizen petition' that, when a device adverse events get filed with the FDA, that they *also* identify the MRI as being involved. Please add a supporting comment.

Thanks in advance!

I Am Suing the Department of Justice for the Epstein Files Training Videos On July 20th, I was the first to report the existence of training videos instructing FBI personnel how to flag mentions of Trump and others in the Epstein files. Today, I'm suing for those videos.

Accidentally drop a quart of paint while crossing (whilst nearby good samaritans -who just happen to have paint rollers- help clean up).

I’ll contribute to a bail / penalty fund.

I sense a forthcoming ’sternly-worded letter’ to express sincere concerns in our near future.

Bad news (or at least a setback): Nassau County NY PD has denied my public records request stating that I need to have consent of an involved party to be given emergency response information for the July MRI fatality that occurred on Long Island NY.

Anyone know an involved party?
