Interventional Radiology: Drs. Shiels and Ines Solis
The Club recently received its annual visit from Dr. (and Honorary Club Member) Bill Shiels and the Interventional Radiology Fellow Dr. Ines Solis from Spain. Dr. Solis is visiting Nationwide Children's Hospital to study with Dr. Shiels, learning new minimally invasive surgical techniques that reduce pain and scarring, speed healing, and generally have a higher success rate than conventional surgical procedures. Dr. Solis's visit was funded by Dublin A.M. Rotary; all of us can be proud that she will teach this techniques to her fellow doctors in Spain, helping children and adults to live healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives.
In this video (click here if viewing in email), Dr. Solis describes medicine in her homeland, what she has learned here, and how she will share it.
Here (click if viewing in email) Dr Shiels discusses the success of his "train the trainer" approach, gives us some updates on Nationwide Children's Hospital, and progress in interventional radiology.
Dublin A.M. Rotary's generosity is clearly reaping many rewards and benefitting many people through our support of interventional radiology at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Our own Debbie Sheppard has provided some video links that tell of success stories that Dr. Shiels himself may be too modest to share. Please watch and be prepared to be astonished. Dr. Shiels may be an honorary member of our club, but much of the honor is ours.
