The best of friends. Grateful for this crew and having opportunities to meet regularly at our radiology meetings, this time at The @RadiologyACR RBMA Practice Leadership Forum! #RBMAPLF2024 #Gratitude

It was so awesome catching up at at The ACR-RBMA Practice Leadership Forum with one of my former residents, Dr. Mike Subrize. He’s now two years into clinical practice as an Interventional Radiologist. It brings me a lot of joy to see my former trainees flourishing in the field. #Proud #Gratitude

Trump rescinded Medicare drug price negotiation which reduced prescription drug costs for Americans, including a plan to cap generic drug prices for Medicare beneficiaries at $2. 👉🏾 Bad news for our patients paying much more for meds than Canada and UK www.beckershospitalreview.com/hospital-man....
