My wife, Jennifer, and I were recently invited to tour Air Force One. “The White House in the Sky.” It was an impressive exhibition of well thought out purposefully deployed technology. I asked a representative crew member if autopilot was used to reduce the cognitive burden of flying great distances. “Yes, of course, but never without supervision,” “Never?” I asked? “Never.”

The Philips Medical EPIQ 5/EPIQ 7 ultrasound platform is one of the most widely used PC-based platforms in the ultrasound industry. The popularity of these systems has allowed me to provide on-site service and remote technical support for many common issues. Often, these problems don’t require a senior-level engineer to resolve, as they can be fixed without tools and completed by the end user or someone with minimal ultrasound experience. While this is just a small sample of common problems, my hope is to educate you with time and cost-saving information.
The field of radiology stands as a captivating domain, wherein we harness remarkable technologies to take care of our patients.
Who likes change? I do! I love change. Change makes life interesting. Change causes, maybe even forces, us to grow.

While performing my usual “research” on the wonderful WWW, I ran across an inc.com article on the 7 questions that sort of test your smarts. The title of the article is “If You Say Yes to Any of These 7 Questions, Science Says You’re Definitely Smarter Than Average.” Even though most run against conventional wisdom. (Which in itself is a sign of intelligence, since conventional wisdom is so often wrong.)
The cultural landscape around us is becoming increasingly impersonal and disjointed. We’re seeing an expanded use of automated and impersonal service methods, such as unmanned fast-food locations and self-service grocery checkouts. Many online services provide zero options for talking with a real person, and technologies such as text and email may be efficient, but they remove the human touch.
I challenge you to invest 20 minutes interacting with OpenAI GPT. Below is an example of an interaction I had. The real-world example of improving communication with non-English speaking patients. This is a growing issue for us all.
I have been thinking lately about the conversations that we have that lead to inspiration. It may just be a casual comment made by a teammate that makes the lightbulb go on and leads us to the solution we have been looking for.
Now is a great time to look at our diet and see if there is something we can add to make us healthier. We get plenty of information about what to remove from our diets, which can be difficult because we are creatures of habit, but adding a few powerful things can help boost our health and be convenient. Improving our nutritional intake doesn’t have to be boring or difficult; it comes down to knowing which items pack a powerful nutritional punch.
