End of training fishing and Armenian beach BBQ trip with our 3 phenomenal graduating IR residents: Brian Quinn @didgeridoc Will Bremer, and Andrew Yaeger. @TherealDoctorJ @IR_RayRay @USC_IR @rkryu

[Stuart Schroff, MD @stuschroff]

I leave the suite for 5 min and @IR_RayRay and @didgeridoc have this out and are playing with it on the back table. @TherealDoctorJ @USC_IR @rkryu

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

@IR_RayRay is a black cloud. But he’s also a world class teacher and these have been some great call cases. I’m lucky to train at LAC+USC.

[Ray Ter-Oganesyan @IR_RayRay]

Happy Hour 2 poke TIPS on @USC_IR call with @didgeridoc. The call week that keeps on giving continues! For the trainees: who can name the tube in the stomach? @TherealDoctorJ @stuschroff @MVictoriaMarxMD @rkryu

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

The fun continues.

[Ray Ter-Oganesyan @IR_RayRay]

And yet another stab wound on call at @USC_IR. For the trainees: How would you describe the findings?

[USC IR @USC_IR]

Standard call weekend loaded with trauma @LACUSCMedCenter for @IR_RayRay and @didgeridoc! Great experience for trainees.

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

@drtulpule @TherealDoctorJ Hey buddy!!!

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

This is my most prized fluoro save of fellowship so far. Transabdominal access of cysterna chyli. Lymphangiogram with ⁦⁦@TherealDoctorJ⁩

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

This was a fun way to kick off a call week with @IR_RayRay

[Ray Ter-Oganesyan @IR_RayRay]

LA knife club, with early morning activity. Take a “stab” at figuring out what artery is injured.

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

My resident @charltonong said he hadn’t been to OR6 before.
How do I get there?
Just follow Dr. Hanks or the trail of blood.

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

@Mike_JS_Lee @ACRRAN @ACRRFS Thanks for advocating for the rest of us.

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

@Redmond_CA @USC_Rads @USC_IR Correct answer. Now, is it an IR complication? I don’t think so. I crossed the defect with a 100cm pigtail without a support sheath. Very atraumatic system.

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

I was expecting a pulmonary angiogram and saw this. Trainees, any idea where I am? @USC_Rads @USC_IR

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

This was a great way to cap off a busy call. Thanks you for the world class teaching @stuschroff!

[Stuart Schroff, MD @stuschroff]

In <24 hrs PGY6 @didgeridoc has injected glue (post auricular PSA), onyx (renal PSA), thrombin (CFA PSA), coils (renal PSA), particles (UFE), and gelfoam (lumbar artery bleed) to treat pts at LA County Hospital. Great patient care. Great training. Long day. @USC_IR

[Ashley Prosper, MD @AshleyEProsper]

❤️ how #radres programs, including my alma mater, are finding new ways to connect with applicants. Q2: #radiology call at @LACUSCMedCenter was incredible. You learn to read efficiently & quickly while maintaining accuracy, an invaluable skill.

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

@Charles_Li_MD Some of my best memories from residency were made in the ER overnight.

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

Work hard and have fun. #USCRadsAMA

[USC Radiology Residency @USC_Rads]

Q5: How would you describe the culture at @RadiologyUSC? #USCRadsAMA

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

@Redmond_CA It was a 75cm Amplatz. I still have it.

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

Autonomy and volume! During my first body rotation I did my first CT procedure and my attending didn’t scrub. Now as a PGY6, after 2 months I’ve done numerous angios with interventions, CT ablations, GI/GU/biliary procedures and one TIPS with the attending watching. #USCRadsAMA

[USC Radiology Residency @USC_Rads]

Q1: What are the strengths of the training program at @USC_Rads? #USCRadsAMA

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

Many opportunities at every resident level! Medical students are always on service. @TherealDoctorJ and I just helped an M3 get his first jugular access during a TJLB! #USCRadsAMA

[USC Radiology Residency @USC_Rads]

@NathanBedLam (MS4): What are the opportunities like for teaching/mentoring medical students? Are you expected to lead conference/lecture junior residents as a senior? #USCRadsAMA

[Brian Quinn MD @didgeridoc]

We are a level 1 trauma center and major safety net hospital so IR call can be quite busy. My last call was punctuated by a postpartum hemorrhage requiring emergent UAE and stab wound to the back resulting in a lumbar artery injury treated with glue embolization. #USCRadsAMA

[USC Radiology Residency @USC_Rads]

Q2: What is it like on call at @LACUSCMedCenter? #USCRadsAMA
