What?

2nd rotation, Done! Radiology was a trip and a half! It started out slow and non-descript (following random techs and doctors, trying to figure out people's heads from their asses and backs, and boobs, and guts...) to something absolutely interesting and downright fun. It's great to see people out there who are just good at what they do and enjoy doing what they do. Kinda makes me want to be an interventional radiologist (IR for those in the biz). The guys at IR know how to shoot the shit in more ways than one, but at the end of the day, they get the job done right, and all without taking themselves too seriously.
What do they do, you ask? They open up veins and arteries, cath and stent, do biopsies, pull out hardware, drain cysts, embolize vessels, etc, etc. and they make it all look too easy. There's definitely something to this type of gig...especially when you can do bank hours. I don't know how realistic I am with this avenue (FYI: radiology is one of the toughest residencies to get into), but it's definitely a sweet job if you can get it.

So by my count...specialties of interests: 6
1. Family Medicine
2. OMM
3. Gastroenterology
4. Physical Medicine and Rehab
5. Psychiatry
6. Radiology (sp. IR)

Stay tuned for more...
