Interested in radiology

*****still getting the hang of reddit so not sure if posting this is within the rules but from what i can tell this is okay, i apologize if its not

Hi all, currently taken a pause in my education due to illness but I hope to go to school for radiology. I have a few questions:

What are the pros and cons of different work settings for radiologists? Ex. how long are hours working in an ER ?

What kind of setting/ location to work would be best fit for someone with an illness?

Is radiology a decent career for someone who wants to be able to raise a family, but still be involved in diagnostics? (why i dont want to be an MD)

As interesting of a profession it is, does it ever get redundant or boring? Depending on where you work?

Is it emotionally taxing at times? For example giving a normal report and finding out your analyzation was wrong, or chose not to report something minor, does it make you feel guilty? Or if you see a concerning finding during the exam and have to face the patient?

Do you receive any consequence for poor assessment?

Thanks to all able to answer!

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 ...
