I’m just a little confused third year bunny please read

By

I am interested in breast cancer. It’s the field I am most passionate about because it hits close to home. I can read about, research, talk, study breast cancer all day. I want to be an expert in the field. Here are my thoughts on the different paths to get time to a fruitful career in breast cancer.

1) Breast Radiology: I would get to interact with women and have direct patient care. I have a great, bubbly, energetic, optimistic personality which I think can be a positive in this field. What I am scared of is I hope radiology residency isn’t isolating. I’m not the biggest fan of sitting in a dark room by myself feeling like a work horse cranking out imaging.

2) that leads me to point 2: IM route. This is a viable option. I am not super interested in the day to day pathologies of IM and the brunt work. I do like feeling like a team and interacting with all different kinds of people. I like how when we have down time in IM we can have some comradre with our team and chill and make jokes.

3) I ruled out general surgery. I kept forcing myself to like it but it felt like I was forcing myself on a kale juice cleanse and the second I came off it I felt alive again.

So my questions are:

1) did you feel radiology residency was boring or lonely??

2) what made you choose radiology over IM or another specialty you were considering.

I’m really just hoping to find some clarity!! Any help would be great.

Thank you!! Love you guys lots and appreciate your time. ❤️💖❤️

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/

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 ...
