Why I Chose Radiology - 11 Reasons (Update!)

[@HelloMoto_]

when people say “you go into medicine for the money” 😂 they don’t really know how long it takes to get in and then to make real money!

[@bobbyknight3589]

Yes 👏👏👏

[@bharadwajmr5928]

I'm no med student nor a doctor, but I now believe radiology is the best because of Dr. Cellini!

[@etewis87]

You're the reason I want to go into Radiology! Thank you for this Doc!

[@DrCellini]

Ayyyye!

[@ilacdoktoru8623]

You're the reason I got into radiology. I am a first year radiology resident.

[@hasnainali553]

[@DemetriPanici]

You make such a positive impact on people when you do work like this. I'd love it too!

[@DrCellini]

Why thank you!

[@JCole2598]

Dr. Cellini, you’ve definitely made interventional radiology my second favorite specialty! Interventional Cardiology is definitely #1 for me but radiology is making a push for the top spot!

[@ahmedmoneeb5166]

Hey, I'm having a really hard time choosing between cardiology and radiology as well. Any input from you would be appreciated.

[@monicaoleksy]

As an X-ray Technologist I can say , I love my job because you are still helping people but it's not for hours at a time like nursing. You see the patient, do the study then go to the next. Lots of challenging new equipment. Love the innovation.

[@MegaPoopNoodles]

Agreed. Patients are also much happier to see you

[@autobotdiva9268]

thats what i relayed to my son thinkn about this career.

I just wanted to ask if you all get high radiation doses which might be harmful, please reply

[@laveritepique7035]

❗️Video idea: A series of short videos about the Interventional Radiology procedures you perform most often, or the ones you prefer. "Top 5 IR procedures. With little hand drawings like you did once, or whatever. This would allow us to better imagine what you do concretely ahaha

Just had my second DR interview today and I can confidently say these are the reasons I am applying DR

[@drparisis]

Good luck!

@@drparisis I have recently stumbled upon the 73 Qs with a DR video and watched a few of your videos too, it's great to see you here spreading kindness Dr Parisis :D I'm an IMG and planning to get into Rad hopefully after a few years since im still in med school, wish me luck :)

[@drparisis]

[@brianna6262]

Im only in my freshman year of HS, but im already so passionate about being a radiologist because of you. If I remember, ill come back to this comment when ive finally gotten into residency

[@mustang8206]

Make sure you go into an undergrad that gives lots of scholarships and has access to good research

[@sandyrose2398]

Nothing better than loving your job - especially when it helps people. Thank You, Dr.Cellini

Can't wait for the update to this update in 2023!

[@DrCellini]

Haha I’ll just keep it going

[@yarnmaniacs8936]

Hopefully stories of his kids will be added 😁

[@davidkyei44]

You're gradually changing my mind to radiology. Initially I think about O&G or urology. Now radiology is creeping in and is because of you

[@DrPanos]

Watching your videos as a medical student, I really got an interest in radiology, and I think I found the specialty that fits me the most. Thank you doc for the important information and I hope you keep being creative.

[@haley9700]

I didn’t know interventional radiology existed until last year when I was in need of one! I had a bilateral pulmonary embolism and needed catheter- directed TPA. I also had catheter-directed thrombectomy for my leg DVT. AND I had angioplasty and a stent placed for iliac compression syndrome. My interventional radiologist is the best❤️

[@osamaayyad1791]

I hate Paperwork! I just finished my IM rotation, and now I want to go into Radiology even more!

[@FireChildSlytherin5]

Your update video makes me feel very happy with my choice of going back to school this year. finished Spring and now in my second class for summer. Im hoping this time next year i will apply for med school for the radiology program in my city.

[@baylorwiggins9781]

It’s so impressive to see how much you improved.

[@velcroman98]

My wife did a full residency in FP. One of the guys in the class 1 year ahead of her finished and became my dad's PCP on our recommendation. That didn't last long, he left FP to go do another residency in Radiology. He got his life back!

[@richardwilliams8693]

I’ve watched this video 3 x now lol. Opening is hilarious. I saw that older video. I am really considering radiology. I like that you decided to make this video and I’m really thankful. Keep being awesome doc. 🤙

[@MrLegendra]

I am in my first year of medical school and am working hard to hopefully match radiology one day! Seems like such an amazing field.

[@cancan2580]

I love that first video. It’s authentic, which I appreciate.

[@ll1000]

As a vet student myself, I'm currently considering doing an internship and residency in radiology. Your video is not only helpful but also valuable. Thanks, Doc! I’m worried about losing work-life balance-not having weekends, regular meal times, etc. Working 12 hours every single day for years sounds insane and inhumane, I must say. I feel a bit (really) lost about which path to take for my future.

[@kas8689]

I appreciate your love for this field! It really made the video informative & enjoyable! Thank you.

[@lindsayhartje6678]

I'm a second year medical student and I needed the inspo today. Thank you.

[@RedditNovelties]

How's it going?

[@reinahb9189]

I love my job as diagnostic radiology doctor and ofcourse good salary and defined hours of work

[@foxxygearreviews7754]

I’ve found the anxiety in radiology and especially in IR has increased quite a lot as acute stroke management has evolved. Due to the nature of the disease it generally means putting everything else on hold, and of course it means we’re in at night pretty much all the time. I’ve learned to really enjoy my diagnostic radiology days.

[@Helder-]

That first video was super cool! Glad that you updated it now that you have an attending's perspective.

[@MusicBizz-x3o]

I watched this video time and time again thank you for creating this channel i really appreciated it! It helped me with motivation , knowledge about the field and everything. And i finally matched into Radiology ! Greetings from Dr. Betül Çelikbaş / Ankara/ Turkıye !🎉🎉🎉

I watched your first video and now watched this video because your the first account to show when I search up Radiology residency. I justed passed my national licensure examination and now planning to undergo Radiology residency. Thank you Doc for your videos I'm going to binge watch these so that I have a clue on what I will go through.

[@barryhuizing2804]

Love the fact that you are so hyped about your work! I think that over the years I have experienced most of the equipment that you use. My thing that I dislike the most is MRI over a dozen. No problem with CT Scans, guided biopsy, with contrast, X-rays etc. most painful one a lumbar disc injection on two discs OMG when he injected the dye thought I was going to pass out......thank you for what you do 🙏🙏🙏

[@harmankaur9354]

have my radiology interview next week! found your video very helpful :)

[@Zach-px6ir]

I have to say your original video on "Why Radiology" reinvigorated my desire to become a physician and sparked my interest in radiology, so it hurts to see you bash it lol

[@timex810]

Med student thinking about diagnostic. Really agree with your viewpoints on things. Very helpful video, thank you!

[@iamnotgoldenhar8645]

I have to say I see it more so. I ended up in hospital over the weekend and had a comparative mri with contrast to see what's going on my back. I just want to say thank you for all you do.

Definitely on my list of interests now for specialties

[@kkewsuk]

I'm sitting my final high school exams and I've decided to revisit this topic after almost two years of seeing the first video. The idea of radiology slowly drifted away as I became flustered with the overwhelming variety of healthcare pathways. But I'm back to this... and I'm convinced all over again. I think it's a sign lol :))

[@bohlyn8811]

What’s your weekly schedule in private practice like? I’ve read there’s all kinds of options like a week on then week off, 4 days a week, etc

[@alicewatson596]

Last year I also chose Radiology for a first year major because it's a high paying field. Also, I did not go into medicine for money. ❤

[@silviatubausole4480]

Dr. Cellini you are an inspiration!! You made my day. Thank you 🙂

[@l.p.2233]

So this sounds like the profession for me. Thank you for the video.

[@chronos401]

You probably would cringe at how many folks ask non-med strangers to help decipher their imaging and lab results because their PCPs can't. I always tell them to find a new doctor or ask for a specialist referral. Do radiologists accept appointments to translate their readings into normal speak and answer simple related questions?

[@DrCellini]

Funny you mention this…stay tuned!

[@globalfamily8172]

How can I find a radiologist who will review an MRI with a patient? I cannot find anyone in my state and the radiologist who gave the original report refuses to discuss with patients.

[@jasminemullenger7254]

[@furkanerdem4620]

It's a really motivating video and right on time since we USMLE takers deal with so much burn out... Thank you for that! All the information on the internet is really generous about radiologists' salaries. I was wondering, is it just because those salary infos are not just for diagnostic radiologists but also for interventional radiologists? Is there a huge salary gap between those two branches?

[@autobotdiva9268]

tryn to get my son to think about this or surgical tech. no long term holding on to patients/paperwork!

[@traceyfreeman5784]

Great video Michael

[@DrCellini]

Why thank you!

[@skyhye8]

Hey Dr. Cellini, I think I'd love radiology, but I'm a little concerned about the lack of patient interaction. I think I'd appreciate patient interaction in my future profession, but it seems like there isn't much of that in radiology. What are your thoughts on the matter? How much patient interaction do you get in DR or IR? Was that important for you going into radiology?

[@jenniferwatts3777]

Thanks doc Cellini

[@Lelobookreview]

my wildest dream is to get your recommendation while applying for residency. I am an Ethiopian doctor currently working in radiology department in isreal studying for Usmle! I am putting it out there so it will manifest itself lol... well am loyal subscriber and love your content

[@aalyo84]

Hey Dr. Cellini! I was wondering if you could make a video on what you look for in a medical student applying to IR now that you are an attending????

[@aaronmoens587]

Would you recommend doing a year of surgery before applying for radiology? Currently doing research as med stud in orthopaedics/radiology field. Finishing med school next summer. Thanks for the great vids!

[@sama6901]

Hi Dr. C, Just had a few introductory meetings into the field in school, and I noticed something crazy. Apparently the average STEP1 score for the 2021 match was a 252 (or 251 if I'm forgetting). That is up approximately 10 points from last year, which is insane. Any thoughts?

[@Moon8rrq]

Am a medical physicist and I want to be radiology

[@himibegum2559]

Thank you! How much patient interaction do you have?

[@SPECTRA_Offical]

hi, this might be a dumb question but, do radiologists have a higher chance of getting cancer due to exposure to radiation? I was considering going into radiology until "someone" told me this and I'm left hanging... 🤔😬

People think I am crazy when I tell them I want to do radiology. I honestly think is the best.

[@yugiohforce1]

Maybe I should look into radiology 🤔

[@nynr20]

Premed here. Do you feel like you’re missing out on some of the patient interaction present in other specialities? I love everything you’re saying about radiology, but when you “see a patient,” you don’t really SEE the patient and engage in that interaction. Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@DrCellini]

Well, it’s a little different Bc I am an Interventional Radiologist and get plenty of patient interaction

You should do video about what upset radiologist that radiologic technologists do.

[@anotherdestructionsafj7429]

Hi dr. Cellini, i am a radiology resident, first year still. But i am struggling a lot now with memorizing and differentiating everything in imaging, like i had been blaming my anemia or even myself who is not smart enough. I also have been feeling worst dealing with seniority in the department. Now i wonder did i choose the wrong specialty? Because i have slow pace in understanding and working the routine imaging report. Did you ever feel like this on your resident year? If yes, how did you overcome that? I really need advice, because i sometimes feel like quitting. Thank you for reading this.

[@vanshikakohli2257]

Hello. I also feel the same way at times, where I feel like I am not good enough as I have a slow pace of understanding things, but, did it get better?
