Thanks all for valuable interactions in this apparently  unknown territory. Amazed to see the vast frontiers of US. Once I saw a FB ( sharp  end of a date leaf ), in deltoid muscle.

We will need to break free from the vicious cycle of “I do not order it because they do not provide it and I do not provide it because they do not order it”. During this “r”evolution Dermatology (and patient care) will only…

Certainly, ultrasound should be the first choice imaging modality to deal with foreign bodies located in the skin. It can prove the existence, assess the exact axis and location, provide the measurements and guide the removal.

Nowadays, clinicians and patients demand more than ever anatomical information to get early treatments and better cosmetic results.  The role and degree of participation of sonography in the field of dermatology probably will depend on the…

That's awesome! The sonographer's dream job... I still occaisionally keep in touch with Lisa Berry and Nilette Kern. I will tell them I found you on here. I am friends with a few others on Facebook too, but we don't really keep in touch. Oh and I wanted to say thank you. Thanks to you (and Sydney Edleman) I was able to pass 3 physics registries :)

Thanks Kathi,

I am doing well. I actually own a mobile ultrasound company now for the past 2 1/2 years, called Sona Imaging Solutions. I was cross trained into echocardiography about 4 years out of school and it was the best thing I ever did. I love working for myself, although it can be crazy from time to time. I see you are in MD now. It's definitely good to see you here too!

Yes, everyone is fine. It was back to school today.....thank you Lord! I had a question, maybe you can send me in the right direction......does the AIUM have an grants/scholarships that are specific to student loan forgiveness. I am on the hunt to get out of this debt!!!!! All my resources tell me to look into ultrasound specific organizations. Any ideas? When are we going to plan this trip?

Hi! I am great. You? Working a third shift tonight. I am so crazy busy with school, it is unreal!!! Two more semesters to go. This blog action seems kinda cool. I will probably post some comments to the thread after I read the article. Hopefully after school I can get more involved, I would love that! Talk soon.
