Grand Rounds Hosted Here - February 3, 2009
Grand Rounds is a weekly collection of the best writing in the medical blogosphere. I was delighted to host Volume 5, no. 20 here on February 3rd, 2009.
About
- 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.

The funny quote of the day today could apply here ... if you squint, turn your head sideways and have a couple of drinks. (Actually, it may be better to have the drinks first, THEN squint and ... well, you get the idea).
And the quote is: "When I told my doctor I couldn't afford an operation, he offered to touch-up my X-rays." -- Henny Youngman
This reminds me of a not so similar situation that took place in noon conference:
The neuroradiologist asked what is the most common associated finding when you see endolymphatic sacs?
And someone yelled out "Endolymphatic balls!"
It was a great laugh.
