Instead of inventing ways to convince everyone to that only a vascular surgeon can provide #comprehensivevascularcare, maybe SVS should come to terms with the behavioral issues that make referring docs, patients, and hospital admins choose IR and IC over them? Anals of Interventional Radiology

What’s worse? Joe Biden pardoning his son or Matt Mauro placing the total monster Maureen Kohi into the chair’s office in return for her promoting DavidMauroMD as UNCVIR chief? At least Joe Biden is transparent about his nepotism. RSNA #Radiology

Good luck with your job search!

Congrats to Prof Pandharipande for being selected to serve as the new Chair of Penn Radiology ! We heard fantastic things from Ohio State Radiology and are excited for our colleagues in Philly. It’s too bad Robert A Lookstein MD, MHCDL wasn’t even granted an interview. Oh well.

1 month later, finally the formal announcement. Once again congrats! Condolences to Robert A Lookstein MD, MHCDL Maureen Kohi and @DrGMcGinty for not making it to the final choice.

Duke Duncan MD Penumbra Vascular Dude we like you. But this is so brazen a conflict of interest. Are you at least getting paid by Penumbra Vascular ? At this point, you can either get paid (which is cool) and declare COI or you’re basically giving a cash transfer to Jim Benenati’s obnoxious wife to buy more shoes

People keep asking to weigh in on current political topics. We don’t do that. The only topic we care about is #irad and of course our undying dedication to Robert A Lookstein MD, MHCDL’s career. He’s our leader, our lord and master.

BREAKING: Johns Hopkins along with 12 peer institutions and Assoc of Amer Univ sues to stop drastic cuts in NIH funding. This is separate from lawsuit brought by 22 states, which also includes Maryland. Hopkins prez cites our 600 clinical trials that would be crippled by the cut.

We need to talk more about Society of Interventional Radiology but not in a good way.

How can anyone trust Eric Topol ? He posts day & night, 24/7, an FTE worth, building clout while claiming to be an NIH funded investigator. In reality his account is run by an army of people who remain without credit. A master in academic abuse. How many laws does he violate?

We want to see Merve Ozen in professional leadership roles. What a wonderful, wonderful person.

Wrapping up an eventful 36 hours at #SIR25NASH. Few things I’ve learned: 1. IRs are not ready to leave DR including those who don’t need DR. 2. The academic power structure of SIR is actively curtailing the efforts of well-meaning non-academic IRs. 3. Society of Interventional Radiology has no

I need to make it clear: I write this to challenge those who choose to participate in the society to do better. That includes me. We are objectively failing. Change must happen. Many good people doing work. But being good and doing good does not necessarily translate to

With NeuWave going belly up and J&J killing that product, at >70% market share for ablation, Merit Medical stock will skyrocket. They will pick up at least 50% of the total share. And that’s a very lucrative market with good margins. That’s a BUY.

And same is true maybe even more for Medtronic

How thoughtful of the Society of Interventional Radiology to take the next annual meeting to our 51st state! We’re looking forward to exploring new 🇺🇸 territory for #irad !

Following the lead of Radiology RSNA effective immediately our board of directors fired the incapable DEI hire, the Editor-in-Chief of #AnalsOfIR and will be naming a new editorial board soon. The national level search is broad and inclusive. Applicants can apply via DM.

Astute of CVIR Journal to call this pain “headache”. Acute awareness of male psyche, profound understanding of men’s thinking process. Yes, penile collaterals can cause a lot of headache. During PAE but also far far beyond.
