Grand Rounds Hosted Here - February 3, 2009

- The Samurai Radiologist
- The Samurai Radiologist has spent more than 20 years as a diagnostic radiologist, most of them professing at various university medical centers. The "samurai" part is a nod to the late, great John Belushi, whose samurai skits on Saturday Night Live featured a samurai with a day job in some other field, such as dry-cleaning or a delicatessen. The plot usually gave him some hilarious job-related excuse to use his sword. Since much of medical imaging (e.g. CT and MR) involves digital "cuts" through the body in various planes, I always hoped to someday see him portray a "samurai radiologist". I guess I'll just have to play that role myself.

Bush was Edward Scissorhands rather than Indiana Jones.
