@NinaVincoffMD I always prefer a text over a call. AND it’s a great way to multitask (3-4 conversations at once, in between cases).

Have we reached a point where all phone calls except emergencies must be preceded by a text asking if the person is free to talk? Is calling someone without getting permission now considered rude?

@brent_tackitt @MountSinaiIR @SIRspecialists @SIRRFS @SIR_ECS @PERTConsortium @RSP516 @bonesz We use everything: USAT, small-medium bore aspiration, and large bore aspiration

Live @MountSinaiIR we’re off to a busy #PERT weekend @SIRspecialists @SIRRFS @SIR_ECS @PERTConsortium

@jsekharan @j_thePA Couldn’t agree more

@j_thePA I’ve gotten written up twice. Never were those conversations belittling or using inappropriate language. I think women get written up a lot. By other women. This is my experience. Others may differ.

Can we talk about how stupid and downright childish it is for adults that work in a hospital to write up other adults that work in the hospital?

@AHansraMD Inari mechanical thrombectomy

Sometimes overnight lysis is all you need. Thoughts on EKOS vs regular infusion catheter?

@NikkiFriedFL Agreed!!!

We will not celebrate hate speech, bigotry, and division. Lowering the flag should always reflect unity, not division, and raising our standards, not lowering them. Our flags will remain flying high to celebrate the American values of diversity, inclusion, and respect for all.

Lowering to half-staff the flag of the United States of America is a sacred honor for fallen heroes — not a partisan political tool. Therefore, I will notify all state offices under my direction to disregard @GovRonDeSantis' forthcoming order to lower flags for Rush Limbaugh.

@NikkiFriedFL @GovRonDeSantis Thank goodness!!! Someone who feels the way I do in Florida’s government...

Any IR Rads out there sick of the cold? Who wants to come to sunny Florida? My colleagues are looking…

@IlanaKrumm Right?

FYI: Just because a person is pregnant you do NOT get an open an invitation to comment on their body.

@IlanaKrumm Can’t come soon enough...

Why is Wednesday so far away?

@AgnesSolberg Ridiculous... sad that this represents even a small part of our population...

"We're storming the capitol. It's a revolution." White woman tears - sad that she got maced and 'pushed.'

@ajgunnmd @uab_ir @SIRRFS @jdprologo @KMSchramm @DrReddy_HPB @SeanTutton @uabmedicine @MGHPalCareGeri @HMSPallCare @CoalitionHPC @AAHPM Love these procedures. So easy and so rewarding.

Compassionate care is essential care. Intractable abdominal pain due to #PancreaticCancer relieved with an image-guided celiac plexus block by interventional radiology (#IRad) @uab_ir. #Patient was able to sleep for the first time in weeks & was able to be discharged.

@AgnesSolberg @womenirads @WIIGS2 Wow - you’re the only woman in the state? Crazy!

Would be nice to get a second female Interventional Radiologist in North Dakota!!!! #irad @womenirads @WIIGS2 #TwittIR #SheForShe #somedocs #womeninmedicine

@NinaVincoffMD Always. So annoying... They’re just so programmed to assume we’re not the physician, because of the anatomy...

Me: Hello this is Dr Vincoff calling from Breast Imaging. I would like to speak with Dr Blank about results on a patient. Her: Asks for patient name, DOB I provide it Her: And what’s your name again honey? #Isoundlikeadoctor #genderbias #notyourhoney

The great thing about interventional oncology treatments is that, if needed, they can easily be repeated. Ablation also does not ruin the option to get a surgery at a later point in time

@IlanaKrumm Watch out for “some dude”. They apparently cause a lot of trouble - especially when minding your own business...

Things I’ve learned on #medicine consults during #trauma season: Always wear a helmet. Never ride a Segway. Trampolines are the worst. Does that cover it #medtwitter ?

@klrpiranha @NeedleDriver Totally true...

Last night IR resident asked me to speak to MICU resident about mutual pt by phone. Presumably, he knew I was att doc. He ID’ed himself as “Dr. X.” ID’ed myself as “First+Last name, IR attending.” How do YOU introduce yourself to another doc? Other care provider? #TitleOrNot

@ParetsMD @arthung Agreed. Just ignore them and continue to do your best. They’ll come around (or not, in which case, sadly, their patients will pay the price)...

@arthung Well i thought it was a knowledge issue but my husband is also an R1 #RadRes and in general he gets the above phrase far less than me. I find it suspicious and I’m questioning more and more if I don’t get this type of thing because I sound like a woman (and young) on the phone.

Any other #WomenInRadiology (specifically residents) get the “let me talk to your senior/attending” from male docs when you’re called to discuss a case? Is it just me? #RadRes #RadXX
