Peder E. Horner, MD Interventional Physician

Dr. Dotter showing his revolutionary early angioplasty technique (aka “Dottering”). Later, balloons would be invented. #MedicalHistory #iRad

Today’s 72 km (45 miles) road ride. Just as an example.

Hike last evening with the pupper. It’s nice, indeed.

Early to mid career IRs looking gorgeous beautiful outdoor paradise advanced IR practice 7 on 14 off, full flexibility to live and enjoy life on your terms. We're hiring! Feel free to DM me for more details. Here is our SIR posting. Join Jake and me! interventionalradiologyjobs.sirweb.org/c/job.cfm?site…

@drcostantino1 @farkomd Now we’re talking!

@IR_Doctor @farkomd And a bike.

@drcostantino1 @farkomd This can be arranged :)

@IR_Doctor @farkomd Signing bonus would have to include a heated vest, and skis.

@AmineKorchiMD That depends on your PACS. Easy solution, not all provide.

Every time I open a radiology case, I wonder: why do we get the date of birth… but not the patient’s age at the exam? Why make reporting more complex than it needs to be? Or is it a benevolent way to keep radiologists sharp with daily mental math?

@drsxr @BrandonLuuMD Harrison’s for me :)

@BrandonLuuMD I literally rewrote and rewrote Robbins into notes. Worked well. Although my dominant hand is a little arthritic as i age.

Students who took notes by hand scored ~28% higher on conceptual questions than laptop note-takers. Writing forces your brain to process and compress ideas instead of copying them.

@DoctorCliffyy @cardiojaydoc02 Ha!!

@IR_Doctor @cardiojaydoc02 Didn’t not finish first

NOT NONINFERIOR? 😐

@drcostantino1 @farkomd Call me

@IR_Doctor @farkomd I’d like to work there may-August, then the month of Feb please :)

@GAEscobarMD @farkomd One, another in a few years as we grow. Big plans!!

@IR_Doctor @farkomd How many openings are we talking about?

@drcostantino1 @chirpa22 @SIRspecialists Arrow sign on wrong side 😉

Pt presented with toe gangrene. Tx for gout x 1 m. We determined embolic. Plt 545 @chirpa22 takes complete hx.’Pt doesn’t like to eat.’ Diagnosis made. IR clinic doing its thing! @SIRspecialists

@Bluebirdskiing It is indeed.

@IR_Doctor Looks like an amazing job. Envious of 100% IR and 7/14. You got a great gig.

@bisontattooguy Yet another Montana banger. Chapeau!

Not a lot of green around this time of year, but plenty of scenic dirt roads with good views and spring birds. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@SPuro88 @DouglasAdlerMD Urology does these???

@DouglasAdlerMD Ureteral stent for septic stone, same concept

IMHO Few procedures in all of medicine can turn a patient around as fast as an ERCP for ascending cholangitis. Do you agree? #GItwitter #medicine #medschool #surgery

@batesbn Indeed

I get this robot..

@TheEXECUTlONER_ Ents have shallow root systems.

I could use this in my life right now. Okay, that will be $6,000 sir. This speaks to my brain on another level. 😂

The “catch-and-release” technique enables removal of large, refractory pulmonary emboli by mobilizing thrombus into the IVC and capturing it with a ProTrieve sheath, achieving clearance and hemodynamic improvement. @CVIR_Journal @KeckMedicineUSC @KECKSchool_USC @UWRadiology

@farkomd Even better :)

@IR_Doctor I’m an old career vascular surgeon, perhaps that’s the equivalent of early IR. Sign me up

@CanesDavid More AI slop! The people want bespoke handmade organic presentations. 🤣

I've been taking a deep dive into AI-assisted PowerPoint presentation creation. I've tried Google Notebook LM, Codex from OpenAI, and Claude Cowork from Anthropic As of right now, the winner by a mile is Claude Cowork. All of the tools can generate PowerPoint, but Claude has better design chops. If you dig into the trail, it seems like they all use code to create the slide presentation, but what Claude does differently is that it renders each slide as a JPEG photo so that it can actually see what it has generated. It then goes back and keeps tweaking overlapped lines of text, spacing, padding problems, and all sorts of things. The result is nearly perfect, whereas the others end up sloppy.
