Welcome to another episode of Why I Didn’t… the mostly useless series where I tell you why I did NOT pursue a specific specialty. In this episode, I cover radiology.
As a radiologist, you’ll spend your shifts reading images that come in from all over the hospital, so you get to see a wide variety of pathologies. You get to be a puzzle solver, using the information you’ve learned from med school and residency, doctor’s clinical notes, and the image in front of you to determine what’s wrong. But the downside is you don’t get a whole lot of patient interaction, and you’ll spend a lot of your day in reading rooms staring at computer screens in near silence.
Overall, as a radiologist, you get the joy of critical thinking and medical diagnosis. You also get to avoid the pain of excess admin and paperwork, but there’s an often lonely price to pay, and only you can decide whether or not the pros outweigh the cons.

Are you considering radiology as a specialty? 🩻💀 Share your thoughts, curiosities, and aspirations in the comments below!

@cherukuri20 6 месяцев назад

I'm a radiologist. For a non-radiologist, the presenter gave a surprisingly accurate summary of the pro's and con's of radiology and what's the specialty is like. Minor points: Most of us work more than 50 hours a week. The stress reduction benefit of not having to deal with administrative tasks and patients and the complexity and intensity of the average radiologist's workday are factors under appreciated by most people.

@nikolamarcetic6725 4 месяца назад

Hello. In the lower left corner of my chest x-ray it says 92kVp 25mA 4mAs. Does this mean that during the recording I received a dose of radiation of up to 4 mAs?

@robbyg4737 3 месяца назад

Does it really take 5 years ? I’ve looked into 2 year programs…

@cherukuri20 3 месяца назад

@@robbyg4737. It is 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, a 1 year internship and 4 years of radiology residency. Most but not all radiologists also do a 1 year fellowship, so 6 years total after medical school. There are combined interventional diagnostic radiology pathways also that are slightly different but similar in overall length.

This is my favorite series. I love learning more about the specialty through Med School Insiders, but getting a subjective viewpoint here helps me better understand the specialty and what being in it would look like. Some things you don't like, I love, and vice versa. Thanks for these great videos!

@anonymous-user031 10 месяцев назад

As a med student considering both DR and IR, I’d love to watch another video on why you didn’t choose IR! Also, I’ve been hearing that AI will mostly help, not replace, radiologists; is this also why you didn’t mention AI as a con for rad? Thanks!

@PinkhighlighterAndra 2 месяца назад

The only thing I would add is that diagnostic radiologists do procedures too. Mostly biopsies related to their subspecialty. E.g breast, kidney, liver, thyroid, etc in addition to lumbar punctures and radiotherapy/cancer treatment in Nuclear medicine. So their day doesn’t have to involve sitting at a screen all day. I opted to be remote so no procedures here but I did many of them in training.

@smballer23 10 месяцев назад

It's a flexible residency in some ways. I think a diagnostic resident can do the ESIR if they want to get into Interventional and were undecided before

@thesneakygamer4343 9 месяцев назад

Yes this is true, in fact I think it is the best pathway because I have known plenty of IR residents switch into diagnostic radiology. Better to do go into DR and then figure out if you like IR

Maybe clinicals will change my mind, you never know. won’t disclose my school as that’s a little personal for the internet but I’m a U.S.-IMG at one of the “main“ schools. Had a really rough time in undergrad, MCAT was meh, but I’m killing it in med school 🎉

@Isaiah-dz8ns 10 месяцев назад

I would definitely say a video on why you didn't... Interventional Radiology. I think it's very different from diagnostic.

@DrBilly90210 Месяц назад

Radiologist here. I'm old enough to remember when images were displayed on film. Good analysis. Has been a great career choice for me; it's certainly not for everybody, though. Some thoughts: The paucity of patient interaction is a plus for me. I just don't mesh well with the sub-100 IQ crowd. As mentioned, the vast majority of my professional interaction is with intelligent people. Best career advice I've ever received: "Avoid a job where you have to deal with the general public." Some cons not mentioned (granted, these might not be readily apparent to a non-radiologist): Commodification (especially with digitization of images). AI (more hype than reality now, but getting better every day, and 20 years from now?). Turf battles (many docs want to do imaging ($$$), but only M-F 9-5 and only easy stuff).

Many of the doctors, especially surgeons, who consult with me are less concerned about the specific details of their patients' conditions. Instead, they prefer my report to focus on whether they should proceed with surgery or hand over the case to internal medicine.

@recklinghausen1 10 месяцев назад

I think there's less diversity in IR procedures than you might think. One IR specialist will focus on coronary arteries, another on peripheral arteries, another in obgyn, another in neuroradiology and so on - like in every surgical subspecialty Thank you for the video! I would love to see why you didn't pediatrics or rheumatology!

@HaithamHuss 7 месяцев назад

This is somehow true and depends on the practice settings. Keep in mind that neuro interventions are separate requiring a fellowship in neurointerventional radiology. In private practice, the IR physician is able to have more focus around some areas/pathologies while being employed (eg. in an academic or public hospital) will result in diversity depending on the referring physicians.

Thers been AI in radiology in many aspects already for a long time, but it wont ever get to a point it will replace radiologists, its going to be more like a tool to help radiologists even more but just that.
