@KenanWaters Sorry, don’t use X much any more, just seeing this. I don’t think I can know enough from this to give advice, but the bulging blood vessel may be a red herring. If it were me, I’d start by seeing a neurologist.

@kbilimoria @RMotaganahalli @IU_Surgery @iu_vascular Of all the groups going axe throwing, I think this group had a healthy sense of the breadth and depth (both literally and figuratively) of potential complications.

@RMotaganahalli @IU_Surgery @iu_vascular I was about to propose an endovascular edition for next year with micropuncture needles, but then realized that this would basically be darts. I predict our vascular team would do very well at darts.

Thanks to a little Googling, I see that Great Dane of Galen AKA Great Cerebral Dane could be an alternative for a neurointerventionalist. #NeuroTwitter Or Great Cardiac Dane for #CardioTwitter Perhaps for a litter of three… but we know which one the med student would remember.

@mattsmeds I knew there must be at least one vascular dad out there who would enjoy that! I draw the line at non-locking Castro Viejo based puns, though. With such a small potential audience, I think it would be like a horse without a Ryder.

@orthotraumamd I think the Ortho (ish) name I’d go with in the vein (ba dum ching!) of my initial post would be Great Gain(s).
