I've been asked recently why do I do Musculoskeletal radiology. The reason is actually fairly simple and is generally borne out of my propensity to avoid things that are complicated
Wow, that was fast! Thanks! Great video and very relatable about the revolving door of pressure to decide your next specialty. MSK is on my short list for many similar reasons you described. I leave so stressed after every neuroradiology shift. Procedures are fun, but not in the middle of the night. Good luck with your channel.
Hello, I like your videos very much.🤩 Can you make one on your role in multidisciplinary management and the role of the radiologist in the management of the patient? Does the radiologist only make the diagnosis or does he also give advice to the doctor who ordered the X-ray for example?
Thanks dr imran for the great insight again. Just wanted to ask quick question, as an msk radiologist can one run a private clinic mainly msk assessment and injections and if so can patients self refer is is it that they must see peivate gp first. Thank you so much in advance
I think for injections you just need to have a primary clinician but for diagnostic ultrasound/MRI they can self refer as there is no radiation involved as far as I understand
@@ImranLasker thanks you dr Imran, i meant if its mainly private ultrasound guided joint injections outpatient type of setting, no radiation. It is something am passionate about and want to look into more in the future. Thank you again
@@ImranLasker thanks dr imran, please do let me know and keep up the amazing content and insights. It is very helpful especially as med students who are interested in radiology but dont get much exposure.
@@m.y9681 thanks Yusuf I’ve asked around and it looks like you can do the injections as you would be a qualified medical professional and are able to justify it.I guess that’s how the Botox stuff happens etc etc ( and you don’t have to be medical for that). Only thing to consider may be indemnity but I think that would be minor thing to think about it the rewards are big enough to warrant the service
Hi, i have quick 3 part question please, Is it 5 years to become msk radiologist, and when you do can you do complex pain management like spinal injections etc Finally, whats the difference between msk radiologist and when people do a fellowship year? Thank you once again
It takes 5 years To become a radiologist, having done your foundation training. During that time, you can specialise in Msk Radiology. Depending on where you train or how are you organise your training you can pick up skills such as spinal injections. Adding a fellowship year usually helps for cv or if one feels like they want to do more in-depth/further training
