I tidied mine this morning ... sort of

Judging from equipment Id guess you are in IT support and from the sunglasses that you are female.

What do I win?

Interesting! Although it says in my profile I'm a Network Manager, but if you didn't look, you're spot on. As for the sunglasses, they're Oakley Straights ... So I'm a bloke!

My new surgery room for placing implants, shamelessly showing off the lovely Dr Mach 130,000 lux LED operating light with focus and depth control (each to their own eh?).

It appears to be suffering from a distinct lack of Galileos 3D Cone Beam X-Ray machine?

I give you an x ray, a cone and a beam. Believe it or not still operational 5 years ago !
The timer was mechanical and went up to about 5 mins

The beam isn't conical though the tube is!

I don't know what JJJ's point was other to show what he doesn't know about operating rooms or maybe it was a joke, I dunno.

That xray generator above, frankly horrible, and would result in relatively huge radiation exposure to the patient-probably being only 60 even 50KV. 5 minutes? Bloody hell! Presumably used with old fashioned xray film instead of digital.

Also because of the short conical head it's impossible to use film holders for paralleling technique.

Where did the photo come from James?

ETA Nice curtains

The 2d set in the surgery room BTW is for intra-operative radiographs (using the latest digitised phosphor plates). You place a gauge in the osteotomy ("hole") you've just drilled and take an image to show where you are in relation to opposing anatomical structures eg sinuses, nerves etc

I use a setting of 0.12s with the phosphor plates. That's a radiation exposure time of twelve one hundredths of a second.

You want an operating room to be as free from clutter as possible to avoid a maximum of dust/bacteria traps to facilitate disinfection and to allow free circulation of operatives.

Nope, didn't look in your profile - what's the fun in that! I used to be in support so I am all too familiar with the desk layout :P

Oakley Straights... definitely a bloke then

The photo was from my practice when I bought it back in 2008!
The whole place was like that and was like something out of 1975, I didn't even know what this was for when I arrived. Also, try dialling a mobile number on that phone...

I work a couple of months per year from home, usually in winter as too much happening in summer.



That's the Pacific out there...

Thanks for the info, interesting stuff!

Is that red thing an old heat sterilising oven?

[retreat]

Yes, but I'd use the word sterilisation in its loosest form...according to the nurses they were useful for keeping your lunch warm!

[Driller]

You're right of course, everything is relative!

As for the lunch thing, an old colleague bought a practice in much the same state as that one was in and when he checked the interior of the "oven" they had he found a piece of mouldy old tart in it.

It was a joke...and I know next to naff all about operating rooms. Except for having been on the receiving end of an implant, and thus interested about the technology involved.

[elanfan]

Not my desk but but let's see how well known it actually is... can you guess?

Fair enough In that case you might be interested in this:

The thing is...I can see my dentist buying that. He likes his toys.

I know the 3d imager he has at the moment was about $250k. I dread to think what that would cost.

Having said that, I think he's looking for something to make implants on the spot, to supplement his crown making machine.

I've got a cleaning appointment this month, he's bound to have acquired something new!

[RAClNG SNAKE]

Like so many out there I use a laptop with additional displays and find it very frustrating that no credible manufacturer has filled this gap in the market with something like this :-

The 'new' desk.

[Bungleaio]

Is that a length of worktop propped up with shelves/box files?

Correct, our carpenters hadn't finished the massive reclaimed oak desk when we moved in so we had to come up with something fast...

N.B. this is not the PH office

[heppers75]

Lovely day in rural Leicestershire today! Sri Lanka next week though for three fekking weeks!

[br d]

My office indoors. You really don't notice what a mess it is till you take a pic!

[Kozy]

Real bad attempt at splicing together two shots from my phone of mine.



Some PH approved procrastination on the left hand screen...
