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!
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...
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.
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.
Chemo operates on the fact that we know that cancer is caused by malignant white cells, so what do we do? We nuke all your white cells.
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.
There's 366 possible dates in the calendar right? Which other date goes the "wrong" way round?

They would tend to suggest the figures are closer to 1.4% in males and 2.2% in females. But if there's any conflicting data on this, I'm more than happy to accept it!

Bollocks. Someone once commented on here "the plural of anecdote is not data", and I think that needs to be like a site motto around here.
Anyway, I know three or four good friends, including myself, who have just got 5G iPods as their first one. That's not supposed to be hard data, just a counterpoint to your claim.
I'm a 5th yr medical student (Here, med school is 6 yrs), so I'm not a doctor yet, but I'm getting there.
Penicillin "allergy" is more complex than you would think. A lot of people believe that they are allergic to penicillin because they get a mild rash or GI upset when taking it. These aren't allergies, they're just side effects. What's to say you're father was not simply experiencing known side effects? Sure it's unpleasant, and not really great, but it's not an allergy, and might happen with an antibiotic.
As a rule, if someone tells me that they're allergic to penicillin, I'd avoid all penicillins such as amoxycillin, flucloxacillin etc. If they had an anaphylactic (read true allergy) reaction to penicillin, then your cephalasporins are out too, but I digress.
Calling the doctor an idiot is rather strong. Maybde no one told him that your father was allergic to penicillin. Maybe he didn't believe your father had a true allergy. Maybe he was having a bad day. Maybe he was an idiot. But remember it takes a long time and a lot of assessment to be a doctor. Sure. bad ones get through, but the majority are caring, competent professionals.
I wish people would stop touting stability as a superiority of software products. I use OO and MS Office regularly, and both have crashed on me, or done very flaky things, such as refusing to save a file for some unknown reason.
I'm a more than average user, but not some elitist who has configured my machine perfectly, and if I can't get things not to crash, then your average user isn't going to be able to either. They'll try the program, excited by it's superior crash record, it'll crash once, and then they'll get burned, blame the software and never try again.
There's plenty of good reasons to use OSS software, but stability wise, it's no better, and note no worse, in my books than an MS product.

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

Yes. But this isn't exactly "hazardous". It may not cure you, but unlike many medicines, it won't actively kill you either.

Hmm, I can't say I'd miss Australia that much. No one to beat in the league, hockey or netball though I guess.
Seeing as we're playing that game, I really like the Japanese tounge twister. (Look at all those mo's!)
Sumomo mo momo mo momo no uchi. (Sorry, can't show it to you in hiragana, it looks much cooler)
Translation is: Plum and peach are both in the peach family.

Possibly in this case:
1. Profit!!
2. ???
3. Hand stock to employees.
OK, after two sarcastic comments from AC's, I've fixed the apostrophe problem now. Who knew there were grammar nazis on slashdot. :P
