Hey All,
Current 2nd year rads resident (PGY-3). Getting burnt out about rads now that I'm actually taking call - turns out I dislike sitting in a dark room alone at night reading stacks of unending studies, studying arcane minutiae and talking to no one. When I look back at med school, intern year and residency, the things I liked are working as part of a team, physiology & pharmacology, frequent but limited patient interaction, and minor procedures (not surgery or 6hr TIPS). I've spoken with my friends in anesthesia and they seem to continue to enjoy it into their advanced years. I'm considering exiting radiology and joining the match this year for a CA-1 spot starting 2018, which I know are few but still not uncommon. (I checked and my intern year satisfies the requirements for anesthesia residency).
My stats: Step 1 240s, Step 2 250s, Step 3 240s, Senior AOA, bunch of radiology research
Tell me why I'm an idiot.
