I liked the neurosurg guy's idea (and slightly sorry for stealing it).. but I also wanted to get more people interested in radiology because it's freakin awesome.
So just a little background before the questions --- I did not consider radiology AT ALL before med school.. and didn't really consider it before 3rd year. I went into school thinking I would do either ER, trauma surg, plastic surg, neurosurg but never radiology. After starting 3rd year I slowly came to realize that radiology was right for me because I initially went into med school for the science. I wanted to learn everything about how the body worked and about diseases. And after first year, I knew I had to go into something that was very anatomy focused because that's what I love. And now that I'm sitting behind the computers in the dark room, I cannot possibly be happier.
So feel free to ask whatever and I'll try to check this most nights and answer any questions. Feel free to PM me also. And just a note --- radiology residency is basically 8-5 Mon-Fri. Weekends and holidays off unless you're on call which is typically 3-6 days per month depending on residency size.
