Would have been my guess, but, even if I were into gaming, it could never work. I can't even check my personal email account from work. They block all that stuff.

I was joking 🙂

 

[DermViser]

Ark, is that you?

 

[NontradCA]

Rad seems cool but then you read that cancer lawsuit thread.

Not sure why. Would be pretty cool if you could get that to work.

Ark, is that you?

I'm Ark with a few upgrades.

Radiology is actually middle of the road WRT malpractice risk. It's just that mistakes are mostly frozen in time, so it's really easy to look like an ass through the retrospectoscope.

The problem with Rads is that your report is there for everyone to see. No "interpretation" of what you meant. Same for Path.

People other than Ark play video games. Bishes love video games.

Yeah, except they're all in middle school.

The average age of a gamer these days is like 30 and the gender split is almost 50/50.

Plus studies have shown that gaming can improve your laparoscopic surgery skills.

Females play video games like Battlefield?!!?

Very weak, poorly designed studies.

Play video games if you enjoy them. Don't try to justify them as work-relevant.

Yes. One of the more attractive girls in my class (extremely relative, I know) played Battlefield and COD.

Say whatever you want. I was wayyyy better than my non-gaming peers at directing the laproscope, at least on the first go. They caught up within a few surgeries...It's not that hard. I feel that the spatial orientation skills also translated to guiding needles with ultrasound for biopsies, drains, and line placements.

I could see the correlation:

Yes. One of the more attractive girls in my class (extremely relative, I know) played Battlefield and COD.

I would have more thought extremely rare. Attractive AND likes video games? Does she like watching football/sports?

Yes. I think she played soccer. She went to every football game she could while in med school.

What do you think about video games in the treatment of patients with PTSD? I've seen used of a simulation to recreate war scenarios for veterans with severe PTSD. But could you see gaming used to treat things like anxiety and depression or things like disabilities? Id est:

I'm sure you're not the only one. However, becoming a radiologist, typically, means becoming socially inept as well. Unless you decide to be rad onc or IR.

Just to clarify, radiation oncology is a standalone specialty, no radiology residency needed. IR is obviously a fellowship after a radiology residency.

That's the one you wife the **** out of

It's probably just innate S-O talent. Aside from a few childhood bouts of Frogger and PacMan, I'd never played a video game but was (ahem) somewhat talented with the scopes, even at first go.

Yes, you are correct. I was only grouping it with interventional radiology (which is a subspecilaty of radiology) because there is more patient interaction in both subspecilaties, compared to the rest of radiology. But yes, rad onc is its own specialty.
