Not MRIs. When I did a paediatric anaesthesia fellowship we would routinely sit in the room for the scan. Think cardiac MRIs requiring breath holds. The techs sit outside the room cause they need to use computers to run the scanner and also it's really (unpleasantly Even with quality ear protection) noisy. Plus something about pressure in the room that I never understood.

Just to add in, to make sure everyone is aware that this poster is full of crap. I’m a paediatric anaesthesia fellow, I go to cardiac surgery on a regular basis. The surgeons DO NOT practice on live dogs before operations. This is just bizzare, made up fantasy!

I'm a kiwi Doc who might fit your Bill if you need more of us?

Are you sure it wasn't because there was already a nuclear medicine department in hospitals, band that might cause confusion. Cause people don't seem so upset about radionucliotide scanning...

I'm a doctor & volunteer some of my time as an ambulance officer. As does my wife and several of my colleagues.

Two things: 1. This is for type 1 diabetes. Most of the good money is for type 2. 2. Lots of billion dollar medical industries go belly up. COX-2 inhibitors. Clot busters replaced by angioplasty in a lot of cases.

You seriously misunderestimate the number of physicians with PhDs then.

Usually a lot of forking leads to a bigger community.

The iPhone already supports tethering. For all it's issues, Vodafone NZ has supported this (for free, but with crappy data caps) since the 3gs came out.

WTF are you talking about? Only a small subset of cancers (known as haematological) cancers are caused by malignant white cells. These are leukaemias and lymphomas. Other cancers are caused by other cells, e.g. carcinomas (epithelial cells), adenocarcinoma (glandular cells), sarcomas (connective tissue cells) etc.

In general, chemotherapy operates on the fact that cancer is caused by rapidly-dividing, malignant cells. Primarily, chemotherapeutic drugs affect the ability of the body to create new cells, often by disrupting DNA synthesis. This means that all cells, especially cancer cells are less able to divide and grow. This is why your hair falls out, you get mucositis etc etc. These are also rapidly turning over cells.

I'm not an oncologist (but I am a doctor, and you'll notice from my spelling that I don't live in the US), so can't quote improvement in survival, but when you base most of your statement around a misleading premise, it makes the rest of your argument look pretty shoddy.

So it's OK for him to expose second hand smoke and all the toxins that go with it to anyone else who has to drive his truck? Or the mechanic who has to fix his truck? Those toxins don't just fly out the window you know. It *is* a workplace. Other people are required to interact with his workplace as part of their jobs. The intention of the law is to protect other people in their workplaces from the damaging effects of tobacco smoke. Fining people for smoking in their trucks helps to achieve this.
