Good luck Mutley, hope your problems can be completely fixed.

Interesting that you have to buy them. Here in Oz (and Philippines) all images and videos are always given to the patient. That's been my experience anyway, except one instance where it turned out the doctor was deliberately avoiding me having the images, for reasons to do with a malpractice drama.

Cystoscopies are interesting. During one (in Philippines, again related to the malpractice stuff) lying there watching the video (which I have on CD) I had fun by teasing the theater assistants. Long time ago I played around a bit with bio-feedback. Learned to consciously change my heart rate. So, in the theater I ramped it up without warning them, had a laugh at their panic, then showed them I could wind it up and down at will.

Fraser, I too enjoy MRIs. I couldn't relate the different scan sounds to the various imaging modes since I have no feedback of what they are doing at any moment. But it's an interesting sound, and the confined tube doesn't bother me. Nothing as tight as some places I've been caving.  After one MRI the operator asked me how I was feeling. "Very precessed." He laughed.

Sorry to hear that mate, best of luck.

It's probably all the stress of dealing with that Dastardly chap, I'd give him a miss in future if I was you.  See if you can get the nurses to give you a rmedal. :)

Nope, you have to pay for them under the NHS, you get them 'free' if you go private. It's a fixed price though, so you can get every X-ray, MRI, CT etc that you've ever had on however many CDs for the same price. Of course I take the 'sucker' approach of buying the latest MRI each time, which is about half a CD's worth. I don't mind though - it's a bit of extra cash towards the hospital funds in exchange for 5 minutes work by the IT office.


P.S. Quite a lot of the time the situation would be getting the scan done using NHS hospital facilties for referral to a private consultant, in which case the insurance company would pick up the bill anyway. It's only us 'health nerds' who actually pay the cost.

mikeselectricstuff:
Inside the  Samsung panel, after peeling label and removing 60 screws
Area top-left with wifi module was accessible via small panel under label - also has MicroSD socket,a couple of buttons and a fine-pitch connector.

mikeselectricstuff:
Couple more pics.
Has ethernet magnetics so clearly a hardwired ethernet port on the 17 pin docking connector to try poking at.
Main FPGA is Spartan 6SLX45
Main CPU is TI AM335Z Sitara,
ADCs are AD9240A 14 bit, 10MSPS

Also what I thought were glass pet type RFID tags, but I think shock sensors, visible through slots in the rear panel.
I suspect red is bad..
