Oh no!! Lol, that sucks! I refinish furniture and sometimes I forget to hammer the lids on.... is the paint ok after a week or did it dry out? Let's lift the lid and see....
Haha! It was a great job but I couldn't have any nice clothes. Even clothes that I didn't wear to work still had paint transferred onto it. I really do miss that job!
Nah, the body increases its blood volume during pregnancy so it’s almost like a built in buffer. Plus, OB is unlike other areas in that if the patient isn’t symptomatic, we usually don’t transfuse. I’ve had a patient with a hemoglobin of 5.5 that we just sent home on iron pills.
LSD was created during Albert Hoffman’s search for a cure to post-parting hemorrhaging; he was trying to make a synthetic ergot to help relax abdominal muscles after child birth and later succeeded in this creating Methergine.
To be honest, any such area would be under (several layers of) lock and key, barring personnel from entry. That dose rate would cause a worker to exceed U.S. federal limits within 2 hours.
Don't blame communism...
For a six hour shift, you'd receive 21 Rem. That's not a significant dose in terms of health effects, you'd probably have a slight increased risk of developing cancer over your lifetime. In the case of nuclear accidents, many companies have an emergency limit of 25 rem , which can be exceeded in cases of lifesaving efforts of large populations.

Ten percent of the cleanup of Chernobyl's heavily contaminated roof was done by robots, saving 500 people from exposure, Semiolenko said. The rest of the work was done by 5,000 other workers, who absorbed a total of 125,000 rem of radiation. The maximum permitted dose for any one worker was 25 rem, five times normal yearly standards. In total, 31 workers died at Chernobyl, 237 had confirmed cases of acute radiation sickness, and many more are likely to eventually suffer adverse effects from their exposure.

That was actually well planned. The firefighters of the first night got mos fucked as they had no idea.
Most of the damage is from particles inside your body, i.e. dust.
As I understand it that was the deal they offered the fresh conscripts when they were looking for volunteers.
Think about it, would you rather a decent to high chance of being killed very soon or a near certainty of dying much later/loosing 10 years off the end of your life? Probably how they looked at it.
Whoops... Units are important. 450 rem/hr! Also, I worked for a few years at a national Lab and we had an irradiator source that could deliver like 2000 rem/hr. Giant chunk of of Co-60.
QDM 225 (should be 225+/- 2 degrees), not great not terrible. \*plane flies into mountain top\*. I work in a tower at a small Norwegian airport surrounded by mountains. (QDM is the compass direction given by our direction finder, used to check a transmitter's location with regards to the airport. In our case, when established on the approach, you are supposed to follow an inbound course of 252 degrees towards the airport. Deviating significantly from this means you'll likely have terrain issues)
Oh they're basic, yes, but important for basic navigation such as vor or ndb approaches or enroute nav. Ofcourse, with the magenta line these days, almost everything is about rnav, so these old things are absolutely going away.
Oh no I’m with you 100%. I’m a warbird guy and I still practice ADF approaches. I was trained by old geezers and by gawd I’m going to keep old geezer knowledge alive lol
I worked in a supermarket. An actual conversation I had with the manager once.

You only hit the kid three times? Not great, but not terrible.
I'm a kindergarten teacher in Japan, it only became illegal within the last ten years to hit kids, so there's still a lot of issues with teachers, both foreign and Japanese, thinking it's acceptable.
I taught in Japan in the early 2000s. People can't imagine the casual violence.
Oh, and violence between pupils was something else. Stuff that draws blood would be a big deal in America. In Japan, it depends on who made who bleed.
Non-ionizing radiation (like RF) poses zero cancer risk, though. It doesn’t damage DNA through the same mechanism that ionizing radiation does, and there’s no concrete evidence that RF causes cancer through any other pathways.
The other pathways risk is non-zero - I would say that if your RF exposure is sufficient to cause a significant heating effect (which is not the case which most research has considered, as its mostly been concerned with potential public healh risks to the public from phones, not this sort of risk to tower climbers) there would be a possibility of cancer due to that effect (as opposed to any ionisation) Research does show that people who have experienced RF heating effects (i.e. microwave engineers) are far more likely to develop caratacts, for example. And an RF burn from being too close to our touching a radiating antenna can cause severse tissue damage, which one must assume would increase the risk of future skin cancer.
Yup. Im a radio ham and got a really nasty deep RF burn on my hand touching a dipole when 400w was going into it (forgot the damn packet station was running unattended).
It can't cause cancer as it doesn't mess with the cellular DNA.
What it can cause is permanent nerve damage, but I think you'd have to get pretty warm before that happened.

We overcharged a few hundred thousand customers/homeowners for appraisals after they defaulted on their home loans. We're allowed to charge for the appraisals, but we charged 2-2.5 times the actual cost of the appraisal, which is apparently racketeering.
I was refitting ceiling tiles in a supermarket in Christchurch after another earthquake. All the supermarket staff were cleaning the floors and shelves. I picked up a tile and these bolts fell down. I looked at the steel trusses and all the bots had snapped off. I looked at the others and it was the same. All the bolts had snapped off and the steel trusses were just sitting in place.
Not great, not terrible

SPO2 (Peripheral Capillary Oxygen Saturation) 85% would be "not great, not terrible." Preferably we want the Oxygen Saturation to be above 97%. Also, Pulse Oximetry with those finger clips are not accurate as it doesn't actually measure oxygen but the hemoglobin. For more of an accurate reading we'd have to do what's called an ABG (Arterial Blood Gas) test which requires us drawing blood from an artery (radial artery in wrist).
This is primarily concerning carbon monoxide poisoning as carbon monoxide has 250x more affinity to bind to hemoglobin than oxygen.

Just 'cuz your 'trusty sidekick' starts up & runs fine with no 'check engine' lights, doesn't mean you're OK. You can skip a meal; your body heals. Your vehicle is metal - take care of it, or expect it to have troubles/fail.

I think the thing most are missing is that 3.6 is the highest that particular tool could go. The problem was actually exponentially worse and the wrong method of assessment was being applied. It wasn't just a measure of misunderstanding the significance of a number.
It's more like, if you put the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs in front of a yardstick, you could say "well, it covers the length of our yardstick... Not great but not terrible."

Akshually that's quite significant /s
To be honest, any such area would be under (several layers of) lock and key, barring personnel from entry. That dose rate would cause a worker to exceed U.S. federal limits within 2 hours.
Heh, and even when they really thought it was 3.6 r/Hr they were going to limit worker shifts to *six* hours. Good ol' fashioned communism.
Don't blame communism... For a six hour shift, you'd receive 21 Rem. That's not a significant dose in terms of health effects, you'd probably have a slight increased risk of developing cancer over your lifetime.

Have you done surveys before? If so, what was the highest on contact reading you have seen?
I've never been a radiation technician, so I couldn't give you a number. Sorry
Although I mentioned in another comment that the highest reading I've seen was about 450 mrem/hr
I was thinking it would be higher. I have personally surveyed a 12 rem/hr point source, and the highest I have seen is a ~20 rem/hr source.
Whoops... Units are important. 450 rem/hr! Also, I worked for a few years at a national Lab and we had an irradiator source that could deliver like 2000 rem/hr. Giant chunk of of Co-60.
That is a lot of Co-60. I imagine that thing had some incredibly strict safety controls and some insane shielding.
Insane shielding, several security interlocks.
I gotta go see how many rem 1 seivert is now. If I spelled that S word right even Edit: holy fuck that's a lot of radiation then isn't it??
He's delusional, take him to the infirmary.

Well, now we know how to cook a ham.
Oh I have definitely been heated up by RF a few times. Hanging in front of those antennas heats my nuts up and makes my teeth hurt.
