"I played like intramural basketball in college and I tore my right ACL then. And then I played flag football in med school for like five minutes and torn ACL," he says. "It's just like you're right in the threshold of knowledge you might not be prepared to take" He had a brain MRI last year because his mom has MS, so it was kind of scary.
Hey, kiddo, it's what's INSIDE that matters -- like your guts and bones and squishy brain and intestines and stuff. Meet Dr. Varshana Gurusamy: diagnostic radiology resident, Texan and amazing person with great stories. You'll learn the difference between an MRI and an ultrasound, between a CT scan and a CAT scan and why you should not put big things in orifices that you might not be able to retrieve them unaided. You'll want to hug a radiologist ... as soon as they take their lead gonad shield off.
