Could a radiologist please answer my question?

Question

I’m thinking about becoming a radiologist. I’m only starting my first year of community college. But it looks like a very interesting profession. And I think I have the brain power to achieve it. Can you tell me what your normal day at work is like. And what exactly you do in those processes. And if you could do it all over again would you stay in the same field? Or maybe go in a different branch.

Answer 1

Gee, I'm a nurse, but I work with a lot of radiologists.
A radiologist is a physician (MD) who specialises in radiology. There is diagnostic radiology (the ones who interpret the pictures) and interventional radiologists (who deal with therapy that involves exposure to radioactive substances). Most radiologist, unlike most doctors, are consultants, they usually do not have their own patient case loads. (interventional radiologists excepted) They tend to have more regular and controlled working hours, and they usually work in hospitals, as opposed to small clinics.
Radiology does have some appeal in that you are not usually doing messy things like operations, but you may be assisting with imaging equipment during such procedures. check the link:

Answer 2

What it method is that the man or woman who they're to document the outcome to is your referring or fundamental general practitioner. He is the person who ordered the exams. The radiologist is operating on you founded on his or her orders. You are intended to return to the ordering general practitioner for the solutions. I have had outcome published to me immediately however that is customarily performed on complex observe to their workplace and on approval of the ordering general practitioner. The document incidentally is written in clinical phrases that almost all laymen might have concern know-how or misinterpreting what used to be mentioned. This could motive you to have needless issues as a result of drawing the unsuitable conclusions.
