Conversation betn IM & MP about @WelcomeSG visit

Week later, MP back home (JHU) walking early morning in hospital:

IM: Hey doc, how r u doing? Having tough time shaking off that jet lag

MP: Yes, as it was exactly 12 hrs difference, I thought jet lag would be easy, but no

1/
IM: BTW doc, did my cousin’s warning helpful & did u get a chance to see my cousin?

MP: Yes & No. Yes, I did go to #Singapore General Hospital, thanks to Dr Somanesan-generous host who showed me the hospital. No, since they were very busy, I wasn’t able to see your cousin

2/
MP: But saw where he worked.

IM: So, you didn’t get to see my cousin?

MP: No, but I did talk to him, and he is doing quite well. Only thing was he & all his buddies were tied up taking care of patients & I wasn’t able to see him.

3/
IM: He did tell us that u were there, doing the 'physics rounds' w your buddies. Next time you go outside US – let me know early, so that I can tell my buddies to save time to show u around.

MP: Ok, I might do that, because in August, I am going to an interesting place

4/
IM: BTW, my cousin alluded to an video on U-tube of you. He said u were good, but again he didn't want to offend me since we worked together.

MP: What can I do, I was pulled on to stage & it was fun. Many recorded, but here is one for you & your buddies to watch.

5/
MP: Many recorded, but here is one for you & your buddies to watch. I would rather want y’all see my copy rather someone’s copy that may be doctored.

IM: Ok doc, glad u are back and glad u were not stuck there.

MP walks away to give a talk to the new residents.

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

Tuesday: MP passing by CT, hears a loud sigh!

MP: Hey buddy, why are you sighing!

CT: Doc, what else can I do. I am ready to go round & round our patients, however, it pains me when tech had to turn away a patient who needed me to scan w contrast for her abdominal pain

1/
MP: Are u talking about #iodinecontrast shortage that is causing all these postponements or cancelations?

CT: Yes doc, as u know some diagnoses do require Iodine contrast, so that I can highlight diseases. BTW, I wonder, why u guys have not found other contrast agents yet?

2/
MP: Well there is considerable research going on to find other contrast agents. Probably this shortage may shine some light on other possible agents.

CT: Didn’t I hear once @RSNA that ‘milk’ can serve as an oral-contrast agent?

Weekend
Beautiful weather, MP sitting in park working on talks. Notices slight movement in grass & see an ‘Eastern Box Turtle’, staring at him

Conversation between Turtle and MP

Turtle: What are you doing here in my neighborhood doc? Aren’t you supposed go to beaches?

1/
MP: Well, I am not a ‘beach kind of guy’, I am more of ‘park kind of guy’. As weather is great, I thought I would be inspired to finish my talks for the conference.

Turtle: Can I ask you a question? Are you the guy who did CT scan on my cousin from National Aquarium?

2/
3: Not directly, however, I remember being at the CT scanner when your cousin was scanned.

Turtle: He told me that they had difficulty imaging him on an old CT scanner and that is why he went to Hopkins, as you guys have the latest CT scanner, correct?

Conversation between O-arm (IM) and Medical Physicist (MP) about Indian Dish

IM: Hey Doc, now that you are back from meeting, what’s cooking?

MP: Well, I am making my favorite rice dish – Chitranna!
IM: (smurking) Doc, I didn’t mean for u to reply w what u are cooking. It's an American slang, where buddies ask, “what’s happening?”

MP: Sorry, I got carried away, since the dish is so good.

IM: What is it doc?

MP: It is called “Chitranna”

IM: English doc, English…

2/
MP: It means “Colored Rice”

IM: Let me take a look at the dish and try to decipher what’s in it.

MP: Ok, looks like you really understood projection imaging, go ahead.

IM rotates around the dish by taking multiple images
