Why I LOVE Radiology!

[@immith14]

I think radiology suits my *I don't wanna deal with patients and treatment* attitude just fine. Think I've made up my mind finally 😭

[@ImranLasker]

Yay! Do it!

[@stijndebondt6936]

I'm also really considering it! Good luck to you!!

[@ImranLasker]

@@stijndebondt6936 do it!

[@JoshDanielGuitar]

Thanks for the video! I'm a medical student in the US and I wish we got more experience with radiology during school.

[@athelstan5794]

great video doc. it would be nice to talk about how to get into radiology. portfolio and stuff like that

[@rachabilal2778]

What's the future of a radiologist 30 years later with AI growing fast in your opinion ? Is radiology still a right choice for a freshly graduate who loves the lifestyle it offers ?

[@elliottm5662]

Do a video on radiologist's pay in the UK, private work, OOH etc. Avg Salary, upper limit in the UK - All that good stuff

[@ImranLasker]

i knew that question was going to come up soon enough. Working on it :-)

[@elliottm5662]

@@ImranLasker Looking forward to seeing it dude.

[@patriksvanstrom4130]

How do you feel about the fact that you don't get to know what happens to the patients after you have reported their scans?

[@ImranLasker]

That's a really good question. I guess it depends on your personality but for me once a scan is done, it's done. I move on to the next one. Advantage can be that work doesn't really follow me once it's done... Unless I make a mistake...

[@fallininreverse15]

Explained very well...can you make a video on how IMGS join NHS via FRCR road or work in Australia if they have done all parts of FRCR??

[@INF_rk5]

i want to ask you if nonprocedural radiology is a thing because i have a fear of procedures and surgeries especially doing them so i just wanna know if it exists

[@ImranLasker]

@@INF_rk5 yes. You can choose to go pure diagnostic

[@shifarahman99]

Hii there! Thanks for the video. It’s really informative. I saw in a video that physics in the radiology exam is hard, and it scared me. I’m not a huge fan of physics, but I like radiology. So is the physics really hard?

[@ImranLasker]

It’s not real physics. More like memorise facts. You only have to get through it once and never ever again

[@aiaimeme1]

Love the video! Tips for lone on-calls would be amazing, am about to start mine next week and am therefore shitting it :')

[@ImranLasker]

That's a great idea, no worries. I'll make a video on it. Forgot how stressful they can be in the beginning let alone now

[@ImranLasker]

Took a while but here goes kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnfHh4Z6bbeeock

[@swaroopsankargr629]

Sir , there is talk that AI will affect diagnostic radiology profession. Will it affect radiology job availability or just make life simple for radiologists.

[@ImranLasker]

I think if AI gets good enough there'll be a lot of jobs the disappear. I'm looking forward to it... I'll have to do less work if AI gets good enough 🤪

[@geoinfierno]

What’s your take on the rise of AI? What could be the role of the future radiologist in an era where AI has advanced so much that it could interpret all kinds of cross sectional imaging pathologies better than a human, and with way less mistakes? I ask because I’m also a radiologist and I’m a bit worried !

[@ImranLasker]

Video on this subject coming out soon!

[@Affiliatemarketingproduct]

I am a degree holder in radiography,can i get scholarship to study medicine and specialize in radiology

[@ImranLasker]

@@Affiliatemarketingproduct i don’t know

[@lanoyee4402]

thanks for the great videos. I didn't know that interventional radiology and classical radiology are two separate specialties. In Germany we can only do classical radiology and if someone is talented and interested to learn interventional radiology and the interventional radiologist has time, you might learn something. Could you maybe make a video about the different programs in UK? and the application process to apply for that program for someone who studied medicine in a different country. I have so many questions. one is also about the income as a radiologist in the UK compared to Germany, Canada and USA. Would you recommend a specific country to specialize in radiology? Thanks in advance :)

[@ImranLasker]

Great questions. I’ll make a video

[@katherinelorenzo493]

Hi, what do you think are the disadvantages of sinography studies?

[@ImranLasker]

I dont know much about this unfortunately

[@willrontgen9620]

Since you mentioned it, will you do a video on why you picked MSK? Struggling with the decision as a mid-year R2 resident.

[@gabrielafernandes5105]

Thank you so much for the video!! I'm currently finishing medical school in Portugal, and I chose to go the radiology path, but abroad. Would you suggest any country in particular to do the training? US, UK, Spain? I'm very indecisive at the moment, any opinion would help me a lot, thank you in advance :)

[@ImranLasker]

Hi! If i had a choice i would go for Australia/New Zealand or USA…they make much more money out there

[@gabrielafernandes5105]

@@ImranLasker Thanks for the reply!! 😊 I was wondering exactly that, because although In the US they make more money, I was also wondering if the lifestyle in a coastal city of spain, like Barcelona, would be a better choice, kind of weighing the pros and cons considering it's a, at least , 5 year long training. Any thoughts on that? :)

[@ImranLasker]

@@gabrielafernandes5105 I still would go for the big bucks. 5 years and be rich and then go live on the beach if you want :)

[@gabrielafernandes5105]

@@ImranLasker hahahaha that's not a bad idea at all!! Will certainly aconsider it!! Thank you for your time! 😊

[@IS-zr3np]

Thank you ❤ Tell us please how do you actually work, is it true that radiologists are very bad clinicians like they dont care about the patient's symptoms and history...., actually I'm really interested in neuroradiology ( I'm confused between neurology and radiology ) I wonder if you want to get in a neuro research field would that be easier by choosing neuroradiology or neurology? Than you so much again

How to get radiology training in uk? Stepwise guide please.

[@invisible5566]

Loved the video! I wonder about your workload, especially when on call. I am also a consuktant radiologisg, and work at a university hospital in Hungary and night shifts can get quite busy especially lately with the 4th wave of the pamdemic.

[@ImranLasker]

Hi! Nice to meet you. Shifts can be busy but it depends on where you work. I used to work at trauma centres which can get a little crazy. I've chosen to work in a more general hospital now where it's not so bad. I also do out of hours for some teleradiology companies and they can get busy but that's because they are covering multiple hospitals. Pandemic wise it was busy during the first wave but it's stabilised with regards to out of hours work. It's the routine work that has gone really crazy. Big big backlog of scans that need to be done and reported in UK

[@tomba47]

What about intervention radiology? Will i get to interact with pt

[@ImranLasker]

depends on where you work but usually the patient is under another teams care so you do the procedure and then they go back to the medical/surgical team. So you see and intteract for the day and then that's it. No follow up clinic etc

[@annajones9701]

What is max salary in this field?

[@ImranLasker]

I don't think there is a max. Very much depends on how much of a hustler you are right. You have your NHS salary which is standard across the board. Then it's all about private work, extra work and any side hustles. I know of a few ppl making in the region of £400k but.... They all work hours which doesn't look pleasant

[@annajones9701]

@@ImranLasker Getting to £200k without too much crazy overtime seems good place to be.

[@ImranLasker]

@@annajones9701 it's possible. Might need to do a few night shifts for teleradiology and extra work at work but I think £200k is possible
