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

By

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!

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/
