Cole and Jacquie have been encouraged to use humour as much as possible given the excellent sense of humour of our reader(s). When possible they will make fun of the interventional radiologists they work with, mostly implying that we are always busy doing non-work related things. This may or may not be true.
I heard a rumour of a new state of the art Siemens Angio suite in the works out east and wanted to get the details for everyone we know relies on the CAIR Express for their IR news. I found my way to Dr. Ruairi Meagher (someone gave me his email), who was kind enough to answer some questions.
Dr. John Kachura completed his diagnostic imaging residency at the University of Toronto in 1994 and fellowship in vascular and interventional radiology at University Hospital and Boston City Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts in 1985. He is a Professor in Medical Imaging at The University of Toronto and a Staff Radiologist in the Department of Medical Imaging at the Joint Department of Medical Imaging at UHN/Mt. Sinai in Toronto.
The VIR community recently lost one of its pioneers and mentors, Dr. Kenneth Sniderman, who passed away in April 2021 following a battle with cancer. Below are two statements from Dr. Simons, who worked alongside Dr. Sniderman and Dr. Bernstein, a VIR fellow that trained under Dr. Sinderman.
It became clear early on in VIR fellowship that Dr. Sniderman had many passions in life. Two of these passions included teaching and patient care. He would literally sacrifice himself for both passions, whether it was during his Friday morning teaching rounds despite being in pain from a recent fractured hip or giving patients his personal mobile number and getting calls throughout the night regarding post-UFE pain management.
As part of the inter-professional health care team, the RN will practice according to the nursing practice expectations set by William Osler Health System, the regulatory practice standards of the College of Nurses and the legislative requirements set by the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA).
"We are thrilled to have such talented and respected leaders on our board and we look forward to working with them as we continue to serve our members and the entire IR community while leading the vision of CAIR with dedication and passion." Luciana Nechita, CAIR Executive Director
