As a paramedic for 10 years we definitely don't give these people enough credit. Radiology is so underrated.

[@kohlrabenschwanz]

It’s not. Chill job.

[@louisdelarampe2319]

@JarJarbanks Every passionate and well trained doctor knows about the human anatomy (all organ systems) and the disease processes.

[@davidt262]

Is getting paid 600k min not enough credit? If anything paramedics dont enough credit.

[@crazy808ish]

@@davidt262 600k min? Sure you aren't overestimating that by around $200k?

[@davidt262]

@@crazy808ish nope, interventional radiologists can easily pull that

When I was an undergrad, I visited an alumnus from my school who is a radiologist. I just wanted to chat with him and ask questions about possible career choices. He answered me while looking at the screen the whole time in a dark room, just as shown in this video. It blew my mind how these people work.

[@tink58bell]

Thank you for all the hard work you do. But how depressing to be stuck in a windowless room like that.

[@louisdelarampe2319]

Yep, I never understood people who pick radiology. You get almost no interaction with patients. They have a good pay but the job is boring and depressing. Some of them do fellowships where they learn to perfom some inteventions but the hours of reading are daunting.

[@annajones9701]

Need concentration and no distractions. I think is amazing job. Avoid hassle of people and make huge $$$$. Then go spend and invest that money. Retire early

[@louisdelarampe2319]

@@annajones9701 It is boring and repetitive, the work place is depressing, I can understand why you would want to grab the bag $$ and retire early from this job.

[@annajones9701]

@@louisdelarampe2319Yes, but the work they do saves lives and has real impact. Earning a lot without headache of people and getting very wealthy

[@louisdelarampe2319]

@@annajones9701 This job won't exist in a couple of years, with machine learning you can read MRI better than docs. I guess they could still do some procedures but they would have to interact with patients.

[@mariehart4294]

I worked in an ER for 30 years. Radiologists are incredibly valuable members of the patient care team. Their technology and skills have dramatically improved the quality of medical care. There are many, may patients that I have cared for that are alive and well, thanks to the skills of radiologists.

[@chrisdeguzman7795]

Awesome.. I’m a radiology technologist and our doctors are bad ass..

[@user-bv7jc]

Reminds me of air traffic control, specifically TRACON. At the end of the day, radio does important work, and whoever wants this life, all the power to you.

[@geoinfierno]

Proud to be a radiologist! Heroes that work behind the scenes to help save lives!

[@laurad1487]

I find it interesting that many of the comments indicate machine reading is more accurate than MDs. I see the gross inaccuracies still so prevalent just in EKG computer readouts and I have to wonder a little...

[@CIA_Is_aTerrorist_Orginization]

There is neural network named Alpha Zero which learns from it's own mistakes and the mistakes of others. Once they figure out how to get it to read radiographs and EKG's, it will probably replace humans. albeit slowly over time

[@benrae6337]

Notice how the bowl of food appearing at 00:40 ish doesn't get finished until like... 4:00 am? Busy doctor types!

This is a really simple video, but as an M3 who hopes to go into Radiology, this was really exciting!

[@Doc_MMJan]

just one word ... "Respect"

Why is the right side light on ?? TOO MUH LIGHT BROOOO

[@Chrono826]

X-ray and MRI Tech for 8 years now. Couldn't do my job without my Rads! I appreciate their reads on my images. At least I get to get up and move around switching patients and exams up lol. It's cool to sit at my desk while scanning, but sitting there all day would put me to sleep!

[@briancannon4607]

I like how they can raise the desk if they want to stand

Why would any even slightly sane individual watch A Day in the Life videos of their own profession. Thats like expecting Martha Stewart to read the instructions on a box of Kraft Mac-n-cheese.

[@OscarFalcon-zy9vw]

Seems to be a common problem with the ER using imaging as their physical exam. Often also used as a progress note.

with AI reading software the time might be reduced... at least one would hope

[@tresteg77]

you should look at better chairs, i´ve woked at a lumberyard and I had a chair that looked way better that yours. i had a Kontorsstol Sverigestolen 9080 24H, you should have someting simular if you spend that amount of time sitting.

[@merd3]

it looks boring, but radiologists are thinking every second they are looking at something, so it's actually quite stimulating intellectually!

[@exodeus7959]

It’s OK. Google engineers are currently putting the finishing touches on their AI software that will do this job faster and with better accuracy. So these people can get outside and get some fresh air and some sun.

[@datdabdoe1417]

.. AI Software that won't function on actual patients with bodies and problems outside of the training data. Radiology is a hard job, but it's one that will always have to be done by a human in some capacity, even if it's reduced to quality control on AI suggestions.
