Ovarian vein reflux. Fought @UHC for years. Seven denials. Tried to pay cash, hospital wouldn’t give her a cash price (said way too high and wouldn’t show her.) Not wealthy, just suffering. Hardest part about complex venous disease? The insurance companies practicing medicine.

No stent without IVUS and respiratory variation images. Looks like a tight stenosis on pullback video. GO BACK and do a spot video with deep breathing to reveal: compliance, elasticity, NOT a fixed lesion. Insp VS exp 73% variation. @JillSommerset @GSalazar_MD

If one thinks IR doesn’t ‘have clinic,’ one is in the dark ages. Another clinic day down. Been doing it since 2008… @SIRspecialists Funny thing is the number of patients who ask me if I can be their primary care (???). Adamant no. PCP’s make the world go around!

Why MRI pre-UAE? 31 yo desp wants Baby 2. After Baby 1 she had a miscarriage with huge hemorrhage. Send for possible UAE. Turns out, her pregnancy caused fibroid infarction (known to do that…) UAE would not have helped her. Ultrasound would not determine lack of enhancement.

@RodGerardo If you’re not working, you’re not learning. Being a proficient doctor is a huge deal. And trainees owe it to the patients who have their lives in their future hands to get in that hospital and WORK and LEARN. Otherwise, they will suck as doctors. Very simple.
