Posted by toledomd on 06/10/2009, 21:30 "Imaging Advantage's team of highly-qualified, sub-specialty trained radiologists are now providing access to previously unavailable specialty services, such as interventional neuroradiology" - as far as I've heard, most interventional procedures have been cancelled and there is one, yes one, interventional radiologist doing all procedures. and he is a locums (read fill-in/substitute). Dr. Imran Andrabi, President & CEO: "We have been impressed by Imaging Advantage's ability to ...reach out to local community radiologists working at Mercy." None (yes, none) of the radiologists previously working at Mercy are currently working there. They were told they had 3 weeks to clear out their offices or join IA. Wow, Mercy, your "commitment to patient care" barely exceeds your commitment to the physicians of Toledo. This press release and the comments made by Toledo physicians nauseates me. |

Are there any interventionalists available to do ports? Is 3 hour turn around time acceptable? Is anything you wrote actual based on fact? |
