About the Authors
Bruce J. Hillman, MD, has distinguished himself as a health services researcher, clinical trialist, and author of both medical articles and short stories published in elite magazines and journals. He is professor and former chair of radiology at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. He has published over 300 medical articles, book chapters, and editorials, including his 2010 book for the lay public, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice: How Medical Imaging Is Changing Health Care (Oxford University Press). Dr. Hillman has served as editor-in-chief of three medical journals, including his current position with the Journal of the American College of Radiology. He was deputy editor of the online literary and humanities journal Hospital Drive, and has published eight short stories in such journals as The Connecticut Review, Compass Rose, and Aethlon, the Journal of Sports Literature.
Birgit Ertl-Wagner, MD, MHBA, is professor of magnetic resonance imaging at the Ludwig-Maximilian University and a neuroradiologist at the Grosshadern university hospital in Munich, Germany. Her research focus lies in the realm of neuroscience with an emphasis on functional neuroimaging. She has authored or coauthored over 130 original articles, review articles, and book chapters. She has also written five textbooks in German (four on radiological topics and one on quality management), all of which are in their second editions. Dr. Ertl-Wagner is married to the historian Bernd C. Wagner. They live in Munich, Germany, with their three children. Their family conversations often focus on the intersections of medicine, technology, and the humanities.
Bernd C. Wagner, PhD, is a senior manager in the IT service industry following a successful career in consulting and corporate strategy. He studied history and philosophy in Munich, Germany, and Edinburgh, UK, and the University of Bochum, Germany, where he wrote his thesis on the topic “IG Auschwitz.” He authored a book based on his thesis detailing the involvement of German industry in the genocide conducted at Auschwitz, and he was coeditor of two books on related topics.
