Yeah, and I guess it depends on simple cyst or not.

Wow... so meta.

Wow. I'm going to have to keep on learning new anatomy, aren't I?

Left the country for a week. Returned and read the news. Immediately brought up google flights.

5.

The radiologist using #6 would worry me.

So, when are we going to get an AI that will see an imaging order, apply the ACR appropriateness criteria, contact the ordering physician & change the order as needed? I'd rather have that than the latest aneurysm detector.

One saves me about 30 sec. The other would save me half an hour. #radiology

Yikes! What exactly was the "manual therapy"?

That 42% of Americans approve of throwing people in a foreign prison with no trial is not comforting.

yeah, but using those tiny calipers to measure the 5-mm lesion is not very easy.

Was looking for a stock photo of a radiologist and most look like this:

Yes. I always look at printed films in the CT scanner room.

Even a radiologist wouldn't know what to do. Only MRI techs know how to work the software.

I've heard from colleagues with international residents who are worried about their visas and are planning on leaving the United States as soon as possible. In a country with a massive physician shortage, this will hurt every American, especially those in underserved and rural areas.

Oh, I doubt it's last 90 days. He's going to do another few rounds of pump and dumps so he and his friends can do some insider trading.

Stock market erased nearly a year's worth of growth in 3 days. Looks like we're in for another round of radiologists working for 10 years longer than they wanted to.

Oh man. I don't know how you did it. I would've turned back around and went back for the phone.

Living in the suburbs and not having a regular schedule makes it so much harder.

Ugh... being a radiologist when they call for a doctor on the plane is pretty awkward. I mean I'm a doctor, but the last time I dealt with an emergency that wasn't an allergic reaction was 13 years ago.

Luckily, a more suitable doctor was available on our flight.

It sucks how everything can be dismantled in a couple of months, but building it back will take years to decades.

Thanks. I don't want to let this fear keep me from traveling. It's important for people abroad to see that not all Americans are terrible.

Thanks for the reminder. About to go on a trip abroad. I am definitely a little anxious about returning home.

Info on Navajo Code Talkers is scrubbed from Army, Defense websites Several military websites removed any mention of the Navajo Code Talkers, who played a key role in World War II intelligence, citing new DEI rules.

Years ago, I had the privilege of visiting the home of a Navajo code talker. Despite what this admin does (apparently it's "DEI" to make a code the Nazis never broke), we can never forget the sacrifices & contributions they made.

Example code:
Spain --> sheep pain --> deba-de-nih

Not short-sighted as much as automatically taking the contrarian position. It's his grift with everything now.

I've always found pediatric MRI and CT scanners painted into cool scenes for kids amazing.

Hey radiologists, do your institutions give you credit for non-clinical activities like lectures, academic work, tumor boards or proctoring med students? #radiology

Excellent. Going to Vienna in a few weeks and I would have reconsidered it if the neo-Nazi party took power.
