He praised his wife, Glory, who\u00a0was behind him throughout his career and she was at his side as he took centre stage to be\u00a0honoured.<\/p>\n Names of post graduates this person trained:<\/strong>\u00a0Edward Kassel.<\/p>\n Observations, personal reflections and<\/strong>\u00a0commentary:\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>George had a dry sense of humour and a quiet reserved style that complemented the\u00a0gregarious and delightful nature of his wife, he raised at least 2 physician children, the others\u00a0are lawyers! He had a mighty mental reserve of cases that he could call up mentally and then\u00a0back up with an enormous collection of high quality slides of amazing CT scans and MRI’s in\u00a0the early days of neuroradiology when nobody had a collection like that! He was always willing\u00a0to stopand be interrupted whiling viewing his daily load of lms to discuss dicult cases. He\u00a0was a real gentleman but of course he didn’t suffer fools or lazy types gladly!<\/p>\n Submitted by<\/strong>\u00a0Dr. Kelly S. MacDonald, colleague, relative and second cousin of Dr. George Wortzman. Dr. MacDonald\u00a0mentions Dr. Wortzman was head of neuroradiology when she became a staff MD in 1995.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Education:\u00a0University of Manitoba, M.D. Specialty:\u00a0Radiology Contributions to medicine: World renowned leader in neuroradiology, past president of the American Society of\u00a0Neuroradiology, see excerpt from U of T Department of Radiology archives: “Dr. George\u00a0Wortzman honoured at Mount Sinai Hospital… Family, friends and colleagues gathered on\u00a0September 17, 2009 at Mount Sinai Hospital (MSH) to honour Dr. George Wortzman, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/medheritage.lib.umanitoba.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3783"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/medheritage.lib.umanitoba.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/medheritage.lib.umanitoba.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/medheritage.lib.umanitoba.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/medheritage.lib.umanitoba.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3783"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/medheritage.lib.umanitoba.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3783\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3787,"href":"http:\/\/medheritage.lib.umanitoba.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3783\/revisions\/3787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/medheritage.lib.umanitoba.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/medheritage.lib.umanitoba.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/medheritage.lib.umanitoba.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
