A random day at @Yale_IR : 4 PAEs, 1 TIPS, 2 liver embos, 2 ablations (1 liver one kidney), a dialysis fistula and 22 other smaller procedures including venous access, tubes, IVC filters, biopsies and drains. It’s a high volume program and yes, we will work you hard, very very hard. This isn’t “chill”. But you will learn!

[Elliot Varney @VarneyET]

@JuliusChapiro @JuliusChapiro, I appreciate your kind words. Mentors make the trainee. Proven examples to follow are everything. I am extremely fortunate for all of you at @Yale_IR and all those at @UMMCRads @UMMC_IR. I wouldn’t be the same without you all.

If you have kids (or plan to), you need to know these changes.

Here's what's different:

@JuliusChapiro @Yale_IR @RichDuszak I miss everyone down South especially within @UMMCRads, but new mentors like @JuliusChapiro and @Yale_IR colleagues continue to push me and have made the transition great!
