Pre-dawn, MP is working remotely from the roof-top pool at the hotel, preparing for the session @IUPESMWC2022. He gets text on ‘WhatsApp’ from IM
IM: Hey doc, I see that you are checking the slides one final time. BTW, we all are looking forward to your session this morning

1/
MP: Really, how come?
IM: Since #WC2022 is hybrid, even though it is late in some parts, we are looking forward
MP: Thanks–Yes, lot of efforts went in pulling this session. Thanks to Dr Borras (@IOMP & @aapmHQ ) & Dr Tom Judd (@IFBME & @WHO ), even I am looking forward to

2/
IM: BTW doc, my cousin said, she liked your title, “Symbiotic relationship between #MedicalPhysicists and #Clinical Engineers” & so do I.
MP: Glad you liked, hopefully y’all will like what I present

@WelcomeSG
3/
IM: Doc, we all know how important for us, when Medical Physicists (#MPs) & Clinical Engineers (#CEs) work cooperatively. It is like “an engine running smoothly when the wheels are properly aligned, lubricated, etc.…”
MP: Thanks, I couldn’t have said it better.

4/
MP: Thanks – I couldn’t have said it better. Do you mind if I borrow ur statement to share during our discussion?
IM: Off course, yes doc. I see that the session alternates talk between #MPs and #CE.

5/
IM: I see that the session alternates talk between #MPs and #CE. I wish your colleague Dr Richardson (@HikesWithDogs00 ) was here. Nice perspective of MPs & CEs relationships in Radiation Oncology.

6/
MP: I wish that too, however, she will be participating in the live discussion
IM: I also see your friend from South Africa is speaking, no wonder it raises the average level of your session
MP: So, do I, we also have representative from @WHO and #UK as speakers.

7/
IM: Doc, better watch out from my uncle, he is little grumpy and will be asking tough questions

MP: Ha ha (laughs) – you are talking about your cylindrical headed uncle (C-arm w Image Intensifier). Off course he is an ‘OG’, and I will be watch out. Thanks.

Conversation between CT & MP on Valentine's Day (VDay)

CT: What's up doc? what u doing for VDay?
MP: Well, I thought of sharing about cardiac CT scans.
CT: Why?
MP: It’s Go Red month – raising awareness about Women’s heart health. What better way to talk about heart scans.
1/

Image
MP: What better way to talk about Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scans, since we can do it at such low radiation dose levels.
CT: Doc, we try to keep u away from ‘Nerd Central’, but u aren’t making our work easy

MP: Off course, I will do all things others do on VDay plus this
2/ Image
CT: Why?

MP: You know there is a general fear of radiation in public, because of which even those who may benefit from heart scans hesitate. I thought my work is to take some fear out.

CT: Are you talking about only CAC score scans but also cardiac CT Angiography (CTA)?

Bogota Dairies:

Visit to Laguna de Guatavita was truly a magical experience - re how colonizers destroyed indigenous people & their customs.

Story: Muisca tribe respected & considered Laguna de Guatavita very sacred. Early spaniards were told gold was dumped in laguna Image
Lake Guatavita was reputedly one of the sacred lakes of the Muisca, and a ritual conducted there is widely thought to be the basis for the legend of El Dorado, "the golden one"
. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Guat…
Image
Spaniards went in search of gold, tried to empty the laguna by digging a break through the mountain. Most work was done by enslaved locals. Tried to drain water to find gold, but were disappointed with a very little find.
Now Laguna de Guatavita is protected
