Re: Remembering Bill McKinneyFrom: Allen Worrall (jworrall@alaska.net)Fri Oct 31 12:50:44 2003
Marveen, this is a very touching tribute to the man. I did not know him or know about him. Allen
> ----- Original Message ----- The majority of sonographers today will not know the name William McKinney; nevertheless, they should know that he was not only a man who supported sonographers, he was among the first physicians to support the concept of sonographers, and to work actively to see that we were recognized as a separate health care field. He was our champion, and opened many doors for us. The very first ARDMS exams were held in his "home town" of Winston-Salem, NC in 1975. He guided and protected our fledgling group for many years and was one of the first to recommend that the ASUTS (later the SDMS) split off from the AIUM and go it alone. To my knowledge, he never, ever, refused a request for help from our group. Bill was happiest when he had the chance to mingle with sonographers, especially at their post-conference social events. He was often the first to show up and the last to leave, as those who attended a long ago WFUMB meeting in the Netherlands can attest. We have lost not only a true ultrasound Pioneer, but a down-to-earth, funny and very humble guy. ("Just call me Bill!") I 'll miss him, now that he is gone, but can take comfort in the treasure chest full of memories that he left me. I only wish you all could have known him. You would have been happier and wiser for the experience. Marveen Craig -- ========================== ========= Terry J. DuBose wrote: Ultrasound Pioneer Passes On October 24, Dr. William M.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
