Day 2 of our Breast Imaging course in Jerusalem

The enormity of positive response from the Israeli technologists has reminded both of us of why we love teaching. To have had individual technologists and the corporate whole hungry to hear all that we have to share and still wanting more is difficult to contain in words. They simply fall short of expressing the profound sentiments and gratitude we have for being part of this experience and to know that these techs will share with those around them, and so the ripples in the pond broaden. I am also very cognizant of how “good and easy” life, particularly work-life is in America. Yes, our lives are stressful but there is so much in terms of technology, standardization and outcomes in our world of Medical Imaging that we take for granted. We often feel that continuing medical education is an obligation rather than a privilege. We have been inspired by those we have come into contact with, from Dr Brem who made this dream of bringing such a conference and faculty together in Israel a reality, to Dr Michael Linver who championed an educational component for the techs, to the Israeli physicians and lecturers, and the open hearts of the techs, eager to hear all that we can share. This has been an experience and journey that we will carry in our minds and hearts with us long after we return to the States. We have been incredibly humbled and blessed.
Only a couple free hours remain after the morning’s lectures remain for those “have to have” items that we have somehow missed in our extensive exploration of “all things shopping” Love to all those we hold dear and who have followed us on our blog. We are longing to be back with you soon.
