So incredibly honored to have been able to meet the incredible physicians and staff at @MassGenBrigham #IRad and teach about PPH and PAS.
Our very own Dr. Nikki Keefe was a guest of honor at @MassGenBrigham Radiology this week—delivering a morning board review for trainees and presenting Grand Rounds on IR Obstetrical Emergencies. Inspiring the next generation and advancing care! 👏 #Radiology #IR #MedEd

An estimated 30 million Americans — or more than 11 percent of the adult population — suffer from knee osteoarthritis, the degenerative disease that prompts most knee replacements. For those who don’t want to undergo the surgery, other options exist. wapo.st/4kdVLxe
