Physician Radiologist Procedures

By

Long story, but for nearly two decades before I got into medical school I knew I wanted to be a surgeon. About a year or two before I matriculated, I had to get major surgery and realized that I wouldn't really like that path for a number of reasons. But, the majority of what I had actually been excited about (the anatomy, needing broad/multi-specialty knowledge, cool technology, etc) I can easily find in Radiology! And I've been a major radiology nerd ever since.

One thing I miss about intending to go into surgery, however, is that there are a lot of YouTube videos where you can watch full surgeries and really learn a lot in the process and give you some fuel for your motivation. I have been assured that Radiology does have regular patient contact (which I'm happy about!), but other than I.R., I'm not sure what kind of procedures someone who is primarily intending to go into DR would do.

So I guess I have three questions:

  1. What face-to-face procedures/exams/etc might a non-IR physician radiologist do with their patients?
  2. (I might have asked this before... sorry, I don't remember) Is there ever any need for a physician radiologist in the OR for a more stereotypical surgery (like when a pathologist looks at samples from a removed tumor, for example)?
  3. Does anyone know of any quality YouTube channels that show full-length radiological procedures?

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
