Publications

Inspired to become a doctor by “One Life”, an autobiography by Chris Barnard, who performed the world’s 1st human to human heart transplant, I trained at Groote Schuur Hospital, South Africa, where Barnard had worked. In Radiology we are members of a health care team: providing diagnoses, guiding further testing, helping determine optimal management and monitoring therapeutic response.
