So here we were, a nuclear physicist, an internist, soon joined by Carrie Hruska, a biomedical engineer, and two radiologists, and we were trying to take on the entrenched world of mammography with a machine that was held together by duct tape.

I saw my own internist last week, and he said to me, You know, and he told me something that everyone in this audience could have told me for free, but I paid him for the privilege, which is that I need to lose some weight.
