]]> I am trying to go to school for Sonography (Ultrasound) I have found out that if you don’t go to an accredited school under ARDMS than I have to wait one year after graduation to take my certification test. Everyone says most people won’t hire you without this certification so “how in the heck do you work one year in the meantime?” I asked my rep at Sanford Brown Ins in Jacksonville, FL and she said they have job placement etc. IS THIS TRUE?? CAN I REALLY GET A JOB AFTER GRADUATION? ANYONE WHO HAS GONE FOR THE ULTRASOUND PROGRAM AND HAS BEEN HIRED? PLEASE HELP B/C IT’S A LOT OF MONEY! THANKS.

]]> The Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences is a very reputed institute in Canada and world wide. I have secured a seat in Ultrasound Graduate Diploma for fall 2011. I am going to invest a handsome amount of money for this program. Will I be able to get a job after completing this diploma? Will my identity as an international student come on the way of getting job as Ultrasound technician?

Please reply and oblige.

Thank You.

]]> Playing Ultimate Frisbee I tried to reverse my direction on a diagonal run from right to left. I put my weight on my knee and it gave out, feeling a very distinct pop in the process.
I had swelling over the area where the Vastus Lateralis (external quad muscle) meets the knee and the inability to bend my knee more than 45 degrees.
I regained the normal use of my knee over a course of about 6 months, I only had x-rays done, and all superficial inspections done by doctors revealed no lateral or forward/backward unnatural movement on my knee. I have no instability when walking. It is only when I snapped my leg down trying to block a pass with my leg, that I had pain again (now that I went back to playing) and two days ago, on a very similar move to when I first injured myself, again I felt a pop and slight pain, but this time there was no swelling and I could walk just fine and could have even continued to play. I didn’t, and I’ve iced it since just in case, but other wise from feeling very slightly numbed (like when you hit any part of your body hard enough) there is no discomfort or instability.
I know, I know… should have gotten an MRI, thing is, when I injured myself, I was working offshore and the injury was completely unrelated to what my travel insurance covered. And back home it was the same story. I would have to pay the MRI out of my own pocket, and here in Costa Rica, even though medical is extremely cheap to foreigners (USA), an MRI to me is almost half of a month’s salary, I just don’t have the money.
I suspect my injury is a ACL tear. Though the part that still feels more affected is where the external quad meets the knee. I also suspect MCL thrown in the mix. I don’t think Meniscus, though normally the Meniscus is affected on an ACL injury.
Even if I got my MRI, I’m not sure after letting so much time go by, that I would still be a good candidate for surgery. MRI + Surgery, out of my own pocket (cringes)… but then again, early arthritis, constant knee pain (cringes further).
I’m the classic weekend warrior athlete. 42 years old and 40 pounds overweight. Lot’s of things working against me hehe.
Should I consider stopping play of a sport a deeply love?

]]> Architecture degrees are some of the hardest degrees to graduate with and yet they only receive an average of only K a year after graduation. I know that their salary will increase with experience, but it seem unfair for students who put all of their effort and time in their architecture degree and only receive a small salary compared to other degrees that are less demanding and offer higher salaries after graduation. For example Radiology Technologist, or Graphic design degrees usually offer higher salaries after graduation

]]> Does anyone know where I can go to study and become a MRI technologist? Yes, I know that I need a Bachelor’s degree in radiologic science but I wanted to know if majoring in other things like biology or chemistry is okay as well? If bio. or chem. major is not okay then what schools offer MRI tech. programs besides vocational ones? I heard some people saying that you can also become one through a hospital program or something after you become a radiology technician, is this true?

]]> I’m currently 19, almost 20. I’m a student cellist working to become a music educator so far. I’ve had a sudden change of heart and want to become a performance major. Unfortunately, I know this is a financially risky degree, but the passion that I have for cello is starting to overshadow that. So, I was thinking if I get a quick certificate job like Radiology Technician (Which would give me about 40-45k/yr reliable job)
Then continue to study theory and cello with a professor while I get that certificate. Afterwards getting my performance major degree.

Would this make me too old to really get a good performance major experience?

]]> Alright here is my story. I am 30 years old and have had 2 seizures in my entire life. The first one came back in 2007 while I was hospitalized for 23 straight days with pancreatitis. The pancreatites was a direct result of consuming too much alcohol over a period of time. I have now been alcohol free for 34 months. To treat pancreatitis you are denied any food or water until the right blood levels are achieved. The only form of nutrition you get is through an IV. During my stay (on my 3rd day in) I had a seizure. It was never reported to the DMV because the Doctors felt it was from withdrawal of alcohol and or an allergic reaction to a medication give via IV. Immediately after given the medication, I turned bright red, got the worst headache of my entire life, my hands were shaky like I had just had an entire pot of coffee. In either event, so many tests were ordered. Blood draws, Spinal Tap, MRI, Cat Scan and an EEG. The EEG was given 2 days after the seizure (which I have read is the absolute wrong time to give it). The EEG came back with a slight abnormality, but because everything else was perfect and there is no family history and it was the first one I ever had, the EEG wasn’t compelling enough. I was given tegretol to take 2 times a day for 6 months. After 6 months of the tegretol, I was told I could stop taking it and I did stop. I had no seizures for while on the medication and for a period of 28 months after, never loosing my license either since it wasn’t reported.

Apparently seizures can be provoked by stress, poor eating habits and a million other things. I had this seizure while driving, lost control of the vehicle and hit a house. It didn’t do much damage at all and I guess that’s besides the point. I had so much stress that day and my seizure happened right after opening some mail that said I had to testify against a Doctor who had (lets just say he was a male and was at some part of my body for a while). The saying when it rains it pours was never so true then it was that day 10 weeks ago. I went to the Doctor the morning after it. This one was extremely different then the one 34 months ago, I remembered things right away, I didn’t bite my tongue, my body wasn’t shaking and a I had no muscle fatigue.

Once again I went through the battery of tests and everyone of them came back absolutely perfect. As a precautionary measure the neurologist put me on an Anti-Seizure med (Lamictal). I have not came close to having another seizure after the last one. Another blood draw was just done on Thursday, once again every level of anything in my body came back perfect and the Lamictal level is right where it needs to be. I have NO drugs in my system, I just don’t do them (plus the police tested me and so did the Doctor. I’m not even sure the Doctor reported it, but the police did. The DMV sent me a letter stating that my license was suspended (NOT REVOKED) until I can get a hearing, in which I get asked a bunch of questions and turn in the info from the Doctor.

The basics to all this is. 2 seizures in my entire life the firs because of an allergic reaction or from alcohol detox (I’ve never got a DUI) which wasn’t ever reported. The second one may have been provoked and was nothing like the first one. All my test came back great and I am also on a medication for it as a precaution.

Any answers, advice or thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated
