Whats up nerds! I'm an MS3 pretty set into going into DR and I can't help but to get brought down from all the doom and gloom I read online.
I absolutely love Rads! I have a blast every time I go down to the reading rooms whenever I have free time during rotations, love the minor procedures, love the work environment and flow, love the art that goes into creating a report, love how attendings are absolute masters of knowledge, love the hours (in spite of call). In all honesty, to me it seems like the best specialty and it surprises me that there aren't more medical students jumping to it. Then, in all my excitement, I'll decide to go into some forums to see more about my exciting career choice! More often than not, I am greeted by posts written by current radiologists that are sometimes depressing, namely on AuntMinnie, and they sometimes make me wonder if I'm missing something.
I just wanted to get peoples' take on the doom and gloom painted by online forums sometimes. Maybe I'm looking for reassurance that I'm making the right move? I don't know.
