Why I DIDN’T… Radiology

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Are you considering radiology as a specialty? 🩻💀 Share your thoughts, curiosities, and aspirations in the comments below!

[@cherukuri20]

I'm a radiologist. For a non-radiologist, the presenter gave a surprisingly accurate summary of the pro's and con's of radiology and what's the specialty is like. Minor points: Most of us work more than 50 hours a week. The stress reduction benefit of not having to deal with administrative tasks and patients and the complexity and intensity of the average radiologist's workday are factors under appreciated by most people.

Hello. In the lower left corner of my chest x-ray it says 92kVp 25mA 4mAs. Does this mean that during the recording I received a dose of radiation of up to 4 mAs?

[@robbyg4737]

Does it really take 5 years ? I’ve looked into 2 year programs…

[@cherukuri20]

@@robbyg4737. It is 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, a 1 year internship and 4 years of radiology residency. Most but not all radiologists also do a 1 year fellowship, so 6 years total after medical school. There are combined interventional diagnostic radiology pathways also that are slightly different but similar in overall length.

[@YeOldePirateMaster]

@@robbyg4737you must be thinking radiographer, radiology is essentially 6 years after 4 years of med school. No shortcuts other than skipping fellowship

[@bessyramirez1409]

What bachelors did you graduate for ? And is it helpful to get a 4 year degree in medical imaging before going into medical school? Thank you for your time in advance. 🙏🏼

[@JayPatelMD]

As an Interventional Radiologist, I must say it is the absolute best field in medicine!

[@JocelynClavaton]

Hi, can you please read my x-ray image? 🥺 The impression says I have ILD but the doctors said they did not noticed anything wrong 🥺

[@boussodrame5502]

This is my favorite series. I love learning more about the specialty through Med School Insiders, but getting a subjective viewpoint here helps me better understand the specialty and what being in it would look like. Some things you don't like, I love, and vice versa. Thanks for these great videos!

[@eshakgoubaa6939]

Can you please do a why didn’t and so you want to be for vascular surgery? I would love to hear ab it from you. Love the content and everything else!! Keep it up

[@anonymous-user031]

As a med student considering both DR and IR, I’d love to watch another video on why you didn’t choose IR! Also, I’ve been hearing that AI will mostly help, not replace, radiologists; is this also why you didn’t mention AI as a con for rad? Thanks!

[@RuskieBlues]

I second this

[@raysatoshi8155]

Yes! Do IR!

[@stevefergerson2341]

Yea please do Ir I’m very interested also to learn more about it Im leaning toward becoming a Ir I just can’t find a source telling me how many hours a week they work and how often they’re on call compared to a diagnostic radiologist

[@Karim-ik5ij]

No matter what they tell you. I do believe AI will take over a large portion of diagnostic radiologist jobs eventually. I don't think it will happen in the next 5 years but more like 2 decades. As a med student, I would do interventional radiology for this exact reason.

[@txp158]

Many of the doctors, especially surgeons, who consult with me are less concerned about the specific details of their patients' conditions. Instead, they prefer my report to focus on whether they should proceed with surgery or hand over the case to internal medicine.

[@harmankaur9354]

im starting radiology training next year. super excited

[@tg9479]

It's 5 years because it is tough as shit.

[@hrphughes]

you so right, am a neuroradiologist i agree every point

[@anders7069]

These videos are helping me so much in deciding what residency to go into.

[@DrBilly90210]

Radiologist here. I'm old enough to remember when images were displayed on film. Good analysis. Has been a great career choice for me; it's certainly not for everybody, though. Some thoughts: The paucity of patient interaction is a plus for me. I just don't mesh well with the sub-100 IQ crowd. As mentioned, the vast majority of my professional interaction is with intelligent people. Best career advice I've ever received: "Avoid a job where you have to deal with the general public." Some cons not mentioned (granted, these might not be readily apparent to a non-radiologist): Commodification (especially with digitization of images). AI (more hype than reality now, but getting better every day, and 20 years from now?). Turf battles (many docs want to do imaging ($$$), but only M-F 9-5 and only easy stuff).

[@Isaiah-dz8ns]

I would definitely say a video on why you didn't... Interventional Radiology. I think it's very different from diagnostic.

[@CuriousDoc]

Contrary to popular belief, diagnostic radiologists do a lot of procedures too!

[@sariashammout5156]

really? What kinds?

[@arttuniemensivu834]

​@@sariashammout5156atleast in My country (in europe), DRs do alot of biopsies, and in the emergency setting also drainages (abscesses, pleural drainages, ascites etc.)

[@Dapperglad]

It's a flexible residency in some ways. I think a diagnostic resident can do the ESIR if they want to get into Interventional and were undecided before

[@thesneakygamer4343]

Yes this is true, in fact I think it is the best pathway because I have known plenty of IR residents switch into diagnostic radiology. Better to do go into DR and then figure out if you like IR

[@Sarcoth05]

6 years total for most of us, since almost everyone does a 1 year fellowship. The more about diagnostic radiology you learn, the more you realize how little you know and how uncertain you can be about findings. It is an extremely humbling specialty and it's hard to understand unless you're actually in the hot seat.

[@Propofol001]

Earliest I’ve ever been, thank you for everything you’ve done Dr Jubbal! Currently in med school, been watching you since I was a premed ❤ Finally First comment !

[@jeremyzucker6431]

Which year are you? And which uni? Which speciality you choosing for residency ? Have you decided yet? Sorry for bombarding with questions , just curious lol

[@Propofol001]

⁠@@jeremyzucker6431haha that’s okay I always did the same 😂 I’m finishing my second semester, considering IM then crit care, EM is another, and MAYYYYYBE anesthesiology if my step 2 score is good enough and I apply hella broadly plus luck 😂 my mind may change but having worked and shadowed in healthcare Ive been able to see what they do first hand and so far I like it. Maybe clinicals will change my mind, you never know. won’t disclose my school as that’s a little personal for the internet but I’m a U.S.-IMG at one of the “main“ schools. Had a really rough time in undergrad, MCAT was meh, but I’m killing it in med school 🎉

[@recklinghausen1]

I think there's less diversity in IR procedures than you might think. One IR specialist will focus on coronary arteries, another on peripheral arteries, another in obgyn, another in neuroradiology and so on - like in every surgical subspecialty Thank you for the video! I would love to see why you didn't pediatrics or rheumatology!

[@HaithamHuss]

This is somehow true and depends on the practice settings. Keep in mind that neuro interventions are separate requiring a fellowship in neurointerventional radiology. In private practice, the IR physician is able to have more focus around some areas/pathologies while being employed (eg. in an academic or public hospital) will result in diversity depending on the referring physicians.

Which field would have transferrable internal motivations as an aerial movement artist that likes to dance or move slow, sustained, intuitive, deep, sort of straddling between a trance state and lucid focus? The relation between how someone does their art and how they do their specialization.

[@helloDobson3259]

Will Radiology be one of the specialties most likely to be impacted early on by AI - Artificial Intelligence? I understand they've been training it for things like cancer screening for some time now.

[@playerwii64]

Thers been AI in radiology in many aspects already for a long time, but it wont ever get to a point it will replace radiologists, its going to be more like a tool to help radiologists even more but just that.
