Radiologists: what's a day in your life like?

Hi all. Premed here. Diagnostic radiology is one of those fields that has always seemed interesting to me and I'd love to hear what your guy's days are like (both residents and attendings). I've already read all other related posts on reddit, but am super interested in hearing more from you guys!!

Here are some questions I'm particularly interested in. If you only want to answer some of the questions, feel free!

  1. Why did you choose radiology? What other specialty would you have chosen?
  2. What does your daily schedule look like?
  3. What is the best part of your job? What is the worst part of your job?
  4. How does the hospital treat you? Do you feel appreciated? Are there any perks?
  5. This may be a little bit subjective, but how do you think your "workload" compares to other specialties? (family is important to me, and I wanted to know if I'd be able to spend enough time with them)
  6. Does life get significantly better/easier as an attending? (aka how happy are you, attendings?)
  7. Do you have any hobbies (or time for hobbies) outside of work? (I've heard a lot of radiologists get pilots licenses lol)
  8. Question for residents: How much do you study at home everyday? (trying to see if I need to learn how to read before applying)
  9. Extra credit: I always see jokes about "correlate clinically". What in the world does this joke mean! lol

Thanks to anyone who replies [I know you all are busy, so no big deal if not] :)

Please note: I initially posted a version of this the Residency subreddit since some might not see it here. If its looked down upon to post in multiple places, please let me know and I can delete. Thanks!

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
