Francisco J. Gortes, MD

Hometown: Miami, Florida Personal interests: working out, science fiction, videogaming, biking, kayaking Favorite thing about St. Louis: Forest Park, zoo, museums, great restaurants, and affordability I bet you didn't know that: I've completed all P90X and Insanity fitness videos Jobs I've held outside of radiology/medicine: Epic consultant, editor for Firecracker, tutor during undergrad Favorite quote: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." What attracted me to radiology: The intellectual stimulation, cutting edge technology, and the opportunity to be at the forefront of medical innovation Why I chose MIR for my training: The best training in the country in a collegial environment with brilliant yet down-to-earth people
