brush my teeth

In Reply to: I am not sure. I am chicken. I live in an apartment complex - and would be a woman alone, so that scares me.
I stop the coffee 4 hours into my shift, it didn't help. Now, I fix a mug of ice water, have snacks similar to what has been suggested. I like salty snacks. I wash my face and brush my teeth, and it usually gets me through my shift.

Looking to brush up too. anyone?? nm

I've been here. Better brush up on your
HIPPA laws. It is a violation to hold onto paper copies/hard copies of a patient's private medical record unless you are an MTSO, etc. In other words, little old MTs aren't supposed to be printing and stashing anybody's medical records ever for any reason, whether or not you delete the names. How would you feel if your records were sitting in some unauthorized person's desk, waiting for the day they could use your records to make some point. Definitely NOT a good idea. Its difficult enough holding onto records if you are authorized.
Brush up on your anatomy
Radiology/diagnostic imaging is all about anatomy. If you're going to be transcribing CTs, MRIs, nuclear medicine studies, or PET CTs, go online and look up contrast material and radiopharmaceuticals. The most commonly used ones for CTs are Omnipaque and Visipaque, and gadolinium for MRIs, although they may give a brand name for gadolinium such as OptiRay or OptiMARK. There are dozens of radiopharmaceuticals, however. But it's unlikely they would test you on more than one nuclear medicine or PET study.
Good luck!
Better than that, the wheel eraser with the little brush. nm

You need to brush up on HIPAA guidelines...
The computer should be password protected for individual users so files cannot be accessed, but, other than that, HIPAA requires "reasonable care" be taken to safguard patient information. It does not require any computer used for MT to be used exclusively for that.
Some believe the computer must be in a locked room. That is absolutely not a requirement either. Reasonable care means just that.
Brush up on CT, MRI, PET scans, & ultrasounds.

anyone grind their teeth?
I've done it for so long I know have extra growth of bone on upper and lower buccal mucosa. It looks unsightly, and I'm going to try to find an oral surgeon who can remove this. I'm also constantly burning it with food because it naturally drops there. I'm seeing a dentist to finally get fitted with a mouth piece, but I have my doubts about stopping the grinding! I take muscle relaxers, and Xanax, massage my jaws with warm clothes, and also sleep on a heating pad (burned myself a few weeks ago and woke up with welts and blisters) I just dont see an end to this. Anyone at all have success in stopping grinding??
wisdom teeth
I am a former dental assistant. I worked for a dentist for seven years, and we made sure that people knew that nerve damage could occur. I have seen a couple of these cases, and they all regained the feeling eventually. As far as time frame, unfortunately everyone is different.
Sorry, I can't get past the teeth..... : > lol

Elliott's teeth. sm
I noticed that during the initial audition. They are getting better, he has been having dental work done for at least the last two shows. He has such a nice voice, I am sure before the grand finale his teeth will look real nice.
A word about teeth--sm
keep your natural teeth for as long as you possibly can. swallow your fears about dentists and take care of what you have. Those pretty white straight dentures are torture chambers in disquise, and you will never again enjoy corn on the cob or dill pickels because when you try to bite them with dentures, they come loose. Your gums shrink over time and they never quite fit right, even the expensive jobs! It is just not worth it! Your own teeth can never be replaced by plastic and yours can be pretty and white too. These are just my experiences and thoughts. ks
Wisdom teeth (sm)
I'm not sure about ulcers becoming cancerous, although I would think so. But wisdom teeth can become a chronic problem with infection, bite problems, etc. Go to an oral surgeon.He can put you under and you won't even know it's happening. The next thing you know you'll be in the recovery area and it will be all over.
Brush up on anatomy, so you can follow along with what they're talking about. NM

wisdom teeth question
My 20 year old daughter had her wisdom teeth out on Friday. She went to have the stitches out and told the dentist that she has no feeling in part of her lip. The dentist says it is rare but it may never come back. He said that you can go to Boston or New York to reconnect the nerve which is a lengthy process and has to be done in 2 months. She is in college (a little hard to do). I keep telling her to give it more time, it has only been 5 days maybe it will get better. She is hysterical over this. Has anyone else run into this with wisdom teeth.
Teeth can be changed. That voice is simply the best!

#5 by the skin of my teeth and with more hours than it took 5 years ago.
I agree. Now it seems the "in" thing is teeth cleaning sm
I'm fortunate in that I live in a small town and my vet is very good and very reasonable. Doesn't try to persuade you to have anything extra done but will do things if you want them done.
They must be so frustrated. Gnashing their evil-doing teeth. Trying new bait, tossing out the line.
But we're not gonna BITE! Have I mentioned to you that rabbits bite? Some do, though I don't think they particularly mean it...
Never eat it. Hate food on my face and stuck in my teeth, esp. in public! Gross either way. nm
