Apropos of World Patient Safety Day, yesterday I advised an MRI tech to run, screaming, from their current job based on what sounded like a near-total absence of MRI safety governance structures. #MRI #MRIsafety #worldpatientsafetyday

thetarawire Either Trump hates Obama so much that he was willing to tear up his deal & settle for much worse or Israel has been calling the shots the whole time & Trump is powerless. Probably both. Regardless, it’s a perfect illustration of Trump’s weakness, incompetence, and lack of good judgment 🚩

Sad that the university has decided to shut down the 900 MHz NMR in part because Trump’s illegal war has made helium supplies unpredictable and likely unaffordable. Don’t think I’ll ever get a chance to use its ilk again. #ChemSky 🧪
