How I fell in love with radiology:
I was inspired by the passion and words of the great Dr. Harry Z. Mellins: “The radiologist perceives a shadow, sees a lesion, and imagines the man. The bedside physician sees the man, perceives the signs, and imagines the lesion. They practice from the outside in, and we from the inside out. Both are clinicians for — in truth — there is no other kind of doctor worthy of the name. The decisive test for all, finally and always, is bedside. This then is one concept of the radiologist — with a film on the view box is, but the bedside on his mind.”
