Hello all. I am very interested in INR because it combines my interest in neuro and love for surgery w/o doing a neurosurgery residency and being doomed to a surgical lifestlye w/ no real alternative mode of practice (i do not want to go into academics) If the INR lifestyle becomes too taxing for my family life then I plan on only practicing as a diagnostic radiologist.
1) I was wondering exactly how does the INR lifestyle compare to that of neurosurgery?
2)How much time is typically spent standing, doing actual procedures in INR?
3)Also, is switching back to Dx rads after fellowship common? If the INR lifestyle is as bad as some have told me it is then I would imagine that this happens all the time.
4)I have also read that unlike its cohorts on the R.O.A.D to happiness, radiology tends to have low career satisfaction as a specialty. I could probably make some good guesses why, but i was wondering if anyone practicing or entering the specialty might have an idea what exactly the problem might be based on your experiences.
Sorry for the deluge of questions here guys
