The more familiar water or something, it must get easier to pick out abnormalities. Paolo Hanley wants to know if there are any stories of like good news where you're like, whoosh, all clear. He would just like to take a moment to impart a family story. His older sister Janelle used to get migraines. She spent at the doctor and they discovered a growth. It was her way of announcing that I'd be getting a niece or nephew. The growth was a baby. Her head was fine. But she just is a rascal and I'm still shaken.
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.
