Why a blog devoted to pulmonary medicine in Rochester?

Welcome to the pulmonary blog. I first experimented with sending unknown cases I was currently seeing to the fellows and faculty at the University of Rochester.  The response was encouraging for the first four cases, and I saw this was a excellent way to show some of the radiology images that could be accessed whenever convenient, rather than during the 1 hour chest conference; a mainstay  for the pulmonary physicians that continues to have long and distinguished run.  I hope that those of you that visit this site will publish comments, respond  to the unknown questions, or share  experience with a similar case. I will start with some of my clinical material, but anticipate that posting will expand to fellows, faculty and colleagues.
