M3 with engineering background here, doing radiology research for a year. I have really enjoyed my research so far and am falling in love with the intricacies behind medical physics and the work we're doing developing MRI pulse sequences. I am so grateful for the opportunity for a deep dive into the more quantitative side of medicine and am genuinely excited to use this year to learn more about AI, device development, and other tech topics in radiology/medicine.
However, after seeing the recent thread in r/Residency on various fields of medicine being a "calling", and seeing a lot of rads residents chiming in that they essentially picked radiology for the lifestyle and not wanting to talk to patients, I'm wondering if radiology would still be a good fit. Currently deciding between rads and surgery, and I really admire the energy and passion surgeons have for their craft. I'm pretty good with patients, but am essentially very shy and sensitive and worry that I would get too attached to them.
Obviously reddit is a biased sample, but it'd be nice to hear from people who went into rads because they really felt passionate about it.
