@linemonkeymd When you realize you can work from home, make more money, and deal with less conflict doing diagnostic work it makes a lot of sense… I know several people that have bailed on IR.

@RepGregMurphy @GmOrr9000 Does this mean that the federal government plans to cover med school tuition?

@AshleyGWinter I have that high chair, but what is this attachment? Is that just the foot board or do you have something to catch all the food chucked over the side?!

Awesome IR journal club with our GI colleagues looking at Y-90 TARE outcomes and vascular shunts!

Thank you @ChorneyMD for organizing

Really surprised to hear @PointsCommunity @esaagar lump physicians in with big pharma and insurance companies as a main driver of healthcare costs. I’m a regular listener to the show and they generally do their research. Do you have a source?

[Cameron Ghazi, MD @caghaz3]

@farkomd I’d believe it. Also: https://t.co/VjZb7o1WyA

Which is why I wear minimalist shoes to work.

@pparikhxr @ChengaziMD @NorthwesternIR That’s where my old partner came from

[Cameron Ghazi, MD @caghaz3]

@ChengaziMD @pparikhxr Easier to inject, slow push with high volume of dilute (less viscous) contrast allows you to really fill up the portal tree. Shown by a partner my first year out when I didnt have access to CO2 but it works so well I still do it even though I have CO2 at my current job

@sleebaah @YawBaahMD Love it, but also, those little black flecks from the scratch off are a real pain to clean up 😬

@ChengaziMD @hldmak @_backtable @SIR_ECS @SIRRFS And a blood patch

@RadDrDuke @shamitsdesai Oh, interesting, so you don’t send them to cardiology for closure? I would be nervous about the stroke risk in a patient with a history of DVT and PE. Or are you saying you’ve seen them resolve intra-procedurally?

[Cameron Ghazi, MD @caghaz3]

@RadDrDuke @shamitsdesai The only 2 times I’ve seen it they had called it on the ECHO. Good to know though

Thanks to my @Yale_IR friend @fabianmaxlg for traveling to #Louisville and sharing his passion and experiences from @Road2IR

[Rocklin Shumaker, MD @Doc_Rock_MD]

I had a fun time presenting yesterday!

Thank you @uc_vir and @UCRadRes for hosting a great symposium! Cases were fantastic!

@CBahakel_MD Psuedotumor with vision changes and I’m coming in

Dr Yi and Sheth representing @UofLRadiology @uoflmedschool at national jeopardy- great idea by @vRad @UofLHealth @RSNA

Interesting new liquid embolic from @bostonsci Obsidio. Single syringe, no DMSO, radioopaque from tantalum, needs high flow micro, best for low flow or small vessels. I see utility for endoleaks and lower GI bleeds. Opinions on this new option?
