I have noticed more than any other specialty how different radiology are on the phone and in person.When I call them up I get my head bitten off for an inadequate order etc etc even if they do eventually protocol the scan, but on the occasions where I have ventured into their lair to discuss a case in person they could not have been more friendly and helpful. I can only assume that living in the dark has given them very sensitive hearing and the phone is excruciating for them. If you have time I always recommend going to see them in the reporting room, just be sure to whisper. Oh and you often get a biscuit as well while you are there.

Lol the list of names! So true. A abdominal surgeon, at my hospital, once told the radiologist (during their morning konference) that surgeons where better than radiologist at looking at scans. The guy was kicked out of the office and the surgical departement was told look at the scans themselfs then. After 3 days the surgeon who made the mistake was told by his bosses to go applogize.
I’ve just watched basically all of your videos in past few hours. My dad’s a Gastroenterologist and I would absolutely love to see a “how to ace your GI interview”
Gotta love the Radiologist, most are super chill but aren't always ' people people', My first week as a student tech, patient prepped for BE w contrast, balloon tube up the bottom, waiting on th4 doc and down the hall he strolls, stops to don a lead apron and glove then turns and says to me " It's showtime !" 😅😅😅
I waited for this one :) Thank you!!! Also, appreciate that we are able to see how videos are recorded. Finally a vivid example of why reflection is so important in radiology.

As an IT guy for the health care system, I like the radiology users are some of my favorite calls, as they don't immediately start yelling and they can follow instructions written at a level hight than 1st grade. Very pleasant people.
Hate, hate, hate you IT people. I miss the days of chemical processors and the ability to fix the problem ourselves. Hey, let's do a software update and then I don't know why the system is down.
I can't help but recall a scene from scrubs where Dr. Celso is showing Dr. Cox a CT scan with someone having a lightbulb stuck inside his rectum followed by the question: Dr. Celso: "So what do you think Perry?" Dr. Cox: "Either this guy has a lightbulb up his butt or his colon has a great idea"
Radiology is the only reason I knew I had fractured my foot after a fall(my ankle gave out randomly,) even my parents didn't really think anything was wrong, despite the fact I had literally crawled upstairs crying in pain. I'm so glad that the radiologist was so quick to diagnose me. It was after my initial visit to MedExpress though, but I certainly don't blame them. I'm just glad that I knew at all. Still haven't regained my balance though, I'm starting to think that I just won't, and I'm already accident prone due to motor skill issues.
Fracturing my foot was the second most painful injury I've had in my life, the first being fracturing my nose. I didn't go to the doctor for my nose until a year after the initial injury, so it technically had already healed... just incorrectly.I still deal with chronic pain in my nose, and I already had chronic pain. But, surgery would've just been to complicated and scary for me (I have a lot of disabilities, and idk everything that I may have adverse reactions to. But, Ik my mom has some bad reactions to certain anesthetics.)
Don't give up those small muscles in the foot and ankle need to be rebuilt! I was starting to almost stagger when walking on uneven ground and was thinking I might have a more ominous diagnosis, but physical therapy for my spine and pre & post knee replacement surgery has made a Huge Difference in my ability to walk without missteps! Look up UA-cam videos on Physical Therapy for balance on ones feet and for foot strength, and flexibility and balance. You can do it!
You might be low on vitamin B12. Go check with your doctor and a have blood test. Long term low levels will affect your memory also. If you have GI tract problems that you can’t absorb B12, maybe you can get monthly shots like some people.
0:53 STAT can either mean a few minutes or a few hours depending on the doctor, it is really annoying to pull a case and just have it sit there for hours, and then have it rolled over to the next day or have it canceled. As a CSS Tech this has happened to me dozens of times. All that work for nothing.
@@grumbles You are correct, I always look at the doc who ordered it and the situation. Poor planning on the doctor's part does not equal "STAT" orders on my part. They will get done, but I am not going to delay care for other patients on a busy med surg floor because the doctor forgot to place orders for routine labs the day before and placed them suddenly as stat because he is impatient.
Winnie the Poooing, hahahahahahahahahahah..I love the way the cell phone selfie reflects in those glasses...yet I can totally believe there are two people in the room
I learned how to read X-rays after I broke my ankle because the techs and my surgeon wouldn’t tell me anything . I noticed that my tibia was not right against the rest of the bone where the screws were put in like there’s a visible gap and my surgeon was like “that’s nothing it’s fine “ I got a second opinion at a better hospital and sure enough I needed revision surgery because the bone was too far from the other side of it and would have healed wrong it was clicking and scraping across my talus it stuck out so far . It’s doing good now though .
And medical professionals wonder why their patients are educating themselves online. I feel like we can put many (not all) of them out of business because patients are completing their own research more effectively. I've learned more about my own and my kids' health in recent years due to a lot of lack of communication from them.
Nah. The coronal SSFSE is my workhorse because the Fourier transform allows for beautiful, mostly motionless images with half the data acquisition! I always check every finding against this sequence in case it's artifact.
My partner recently had a thyroid biopsy done by a radiologist. He was wearing jeans and a hoodie, and the pathologist was in joggers. Both were so fun to interact with.
Love your stuff, man. I’m a PT at a large hospital; I’ve got an idea for a PT skit. I’m more than happy to share; however, I know you’re more than capable of making that skit without anyone’s help 😎
At my hospital we have a super cool and "normal" rad who does most of our procedures with us. He's also very good at what he does but we are all thankful for a cool, calm and collected doc who is "normal" (compared to some other rads). 😂
Radiologists are great. I was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta and have had 133 fractures so I figure I’ve had at least 350+ X-rays and CTs in my day. 😮
As someone who works from home, I feel that last one so hard. My aunt got me a pair of pajama pants for Christmas, and joked that she got me new work clothes.
Perhaps [s/he's worried] because you need at least some cone cells in order to see fine details. Would a true achromatope have enough visual acuity to properly assess any image, even with corrective lenses?

I thought it was funny till it turned out that neither were actually wearing pants. The commitment to the bit is impressive
Hottest tip I can offer after over a decade working in acute and subspecialty surgery... When you call them to get your emergency imaging and they pick up the phone, open with this... "I'm just seeing an emergency patient and I wonder if you could help me identify what modality of imaging might be best to diagnose the issue" I've never failed to get them totally on board with the study I wanted initially
As a radiologist my favorite part of this was the small sunglasses. Nonspecific is one of my favorite as is correlate with physical exam. Also as the ER orders more inappropriate CTs I make sure to let them know how big patient stool balls are….physical exam recommended to determine the need for manual disimpaction
Laughed loudly and only the stray cat to hear me and -flea- I mean flee when the Radiologist said he'd forgotten how to dress! I like the insertion of Ophthalmology. Dr. G.. knows his specialization. I'm waiting for eye surgery as I'm blind at night now (autoimmune development), so Radiology would have been a mistaken career path. Dr. G... whensyagonna become a full-time Comic. You can write, act and I'll say it as I've said elsewhere have the condition 'Funny Bones' . Maybe work part-time, if you're still working, and watch venues fill up as you perform. Cone over the pond to the UK and do the Edinburgh Fringe. Please, if you are, tell us. I've been the Fringe once and it was magical. I even saw a relatively unknown Comedian who went on to great success. Careers are started or upped at the Fringe. Gr8 agents float around. With their lucrative career from developing good acts the probably have learnt to defy Gravity. I love seeing a successful artist and telling kids I knew them before they were famous. Eg if you know of the '80's Pop Group 'Simply Red'. I watched them as just starting out doing pubs and clubs in Manchester. We saw them for free! They went on to be a top band, I don't know if they're known in the States. I'd say out if all the Pods I've watched of you, 99% make me laugh.

The guy was kicked out of the office and the surgical departement was told look at the scans themselfs then. After 3 days the surgeon who made the mistake was told by his bosses to go applogize.
I’ve just watched basically all of your videos in past few hours. My dad’s a Gastroenterologist and I would absolutely love to see a “how to ace your GI interview”
Gotta love the Radiologist, most are super chill but aren't always ' people people', My first week as a student tech, patient prepped for BE w contrast, balloon tube up the bottom, waiting on th4 doc and down the hall he strolls, stops to don a lead apron and glove then turns and says to me " It's showtime !" 😅😅😅
Do they still do BEs? This is one reason I went into Cat Scan
As an M3 interested in pursuing radiology, I've been eagerly awaiting this one for months! I was not disappointed! Well done!!
Once again you hit it out of the ballpark Doc. Love your videos. I truly, actually laugh-out-loud in each one. Thanks much.
I love the reflection in the glasses 🤣😂
Bts
1:15
As a radiologist: 1000 HU yes.
As a fan: THOSE LEGS
I think the cherry on top would be a quip about wanting to go into medicine without seeing patients
Anyone else watching this while "Winnie-the-Poohing" at their desks?
I'm sure some are even Lady Godiva-ing.
The cone & rods comment is hands down the funniest medical gag I’ve heard in a long time. You continue to impress Sir
I waited for this one :) Thank you!!! Also, appreciate that we are able to see how videos are recorded. Finally a vivid example of why reflection is so important in radiology.
Had to watch it again after reading this. I had never noticed it before. Even better the second time.
This made me laugh & whimper so loudly (had spine surgery a few days ago so laughing HURTS) that my mom raced in thinking I’d fallen or something! WORTH IT!!!
Get well soon
@@nefertitiadmiral5579 Thank you very much!
Get well soon❤️
@@anmoldeep2400 Thank you!
I have nothing to say. Your extent of knowledge and how you articulate facts and fiction amazes me each time.
JESUS CHRIST. his videos are evolving. great delivery and unique punchlines that makes him original. Its only a matter of time he gets 1M subs.
The glasses behind the x ray goggles. Im dying.
Huge photosensitive mood, though.
As a radiologist i totally agree 🤣 especially with the list of surgeons who think they can do radiologists' job
"What's a word doctors don't understand?"
"Oh, STAT."
WHY IS THIS SO TRUE??!! 🤣🤣🔥
"My ophthalmologist is very concerned," says the patient.

I love watching what is going on behind the scenes via the reflection in your x-ray glasses!
As an IT guy for the health care system, I like the radiology users are some of my favorite calls, as they don't immediately start yelling and they can follow instructions written at a level hight than 1st grade. Very pleasant people.
Hate, hate, hate you IT people. I miss the days of chemical processors and the ability to fix the problem ourselves. Hey, let's do a software update and then I don't know why the system is down.
I can't help but recall a scene from scrubs where Dr. Celso is showing Dr. Cox a CT scan with someone having a lightbulb stuck inside his rectum followed by the question:
Dr. Celso: "So what do you think Perry?"
Dr. Cox: "Either this guy has a lightbulb up his butt or his colon has a great idea"
I shit bright ideas early in the morning.
That’s why I’m always making the news 😎
Radiology is the only reason I knew I had fractured my foot after a fall(my ankle gave out randomly,) even my parents didn't really think anything was wrong, despite the fact I had literally crawled upstairs crying in pain. I'm so glad that the radiologist was so quick to diagnose me. It was after my initial visit to MedExpress though, but I certainly don't blame them. I'm just glad that I knew at all. Still haven't regained my balance though, I'm starting to think that I just won't, and I'm already accident prone due to motor skill issues.
Fracturing my foot was the second most painful injury I've had in my life, the first being fracturing my nose. I didn't go to the doctor for my nose until a year after the initial injury, so it technically had already healed... just incorrectly.I still deal with chronic pain in my nose, and I already had chronic pain. But, surgery would've just been to complicated and scary for me (I have a lot of disabilities, and idk everything that I may have adverse reactions to. But, Ik my mom has some bad reactions to certain anesthetics.)
Don't give up those small muscles in the foot and ankle need to be rebuilt!
I was starting to almost stagger when walking on uneven ground and was thinking I might have a more ominous diagnosis, but physical therapy for my spine and pre & post knee replacement surgery has made a Huge Difference in my ability to walk without missteps! Look up UA-cam videos on Physical Therapy for balance on ones feet and for foot strength, and flexibility and balance.
You can do it!
You might be low on vitamin B12. Go check with your doctor and a have blood test. Long term low levels will affect your memory also. If you have GI tract problems that you can’t absorb B12, maybe you can get monthly shots like some people.
Omg, compression stockings, that will help so much! Thank you Dr. G! editor and gamer here, so the radiologist is my only rival for screen time lol
0:53 STAT can either mean a few minutes or a few hours depending on the doctor, it is really annoying to pull a case and just have it sit there for hours, and then have it rolled over to the next day or have it canceled. As a CSS Tech this has happened to me dozens of times. All that work for nothing.
I work as a tech in mri and we have stat request that have been there for 2 weeks or longuer.
But you know that the one time you say "meh, I'll get to it in a little while" it's gonna be a herniating epidural bleed or something
@@grumbles You are correct, I always look at the doc who ordered it and the situation. Poor planning on the doctor's part does not equal "STAT" orders on my part. They will get done, but I am not going to delay care for other patients on a busy med surg floor because the doctor forgot to place orders for routine labs the day before and placed them suddenly as stat because he is impatient.
Winnie the Poooing, hahahahahahahahahahah..I love the way the cell phone selfie reflects in those glasses...yet I can totally believe there are two people in the room
Best episode of the interview series yet. Masterfully done.
The glasses under the glasses: expected, but funny
The pants: unexpected, and appreciated
I understood absolutely nothing but found it extremely entertaining nonetheless 🤣
As a first term med student I find all of these extremely hilarious 😅😅
No one cares, o thou ignorant one.
Keep this level of entertainment up and I'm going to need a cardiologist. STAT. 🤣🤣🤣
1:15 hahaha. The struggle is real, and it reflected through the glasses. 🤣
You should do interventional radiologists! They're their own residency now.
I have a job interview this Thursday and I'm extremely anxious and nervous, and your videos are making me laugh. Thanks
Today, in few hours, my radiology rotation starts. Could not wish for better. Thanks Glauc
I learned how to read X-rays after I broke my ankle because the techs and my surgeon wouldn’t tell me anything . I noticed that my tibia was not right against the rest of the bone where the screws were put in like there’s a visible gap and my surgeon was like “that’s nothing it’s fine “ I got a second opinion at a better hospital and sure enough I needed revision surgery because the bone was too far from the other side of it and would have healed wrong it was clicking and scraping across my talus it stuck out so far . It’s doing good now though .
And medical professionals wonder why their patients are educating themselves online. I feel like we can put many (not all) of them out of business because patients are completing their own research more effectively. I've learned more about my own and my kids' health in recent years due to a lot of lack of communication from them.
Greetings from a Radiologist 😎☢️
Nah. The coronal SSFSE is my workhorse because the Fourier transform allows for beautiful, mostly motionless images with half the data acquisition! I always check every finding against this sequence in case it's artifact.
The reflection of Doc filming himself in the glasses is the cherry on the cake for me
“Non specific,” was born out of necessity to prevent surgeons for punching us when we described a complication.
Working with Radiologists is the COOLEST..
Low light and quiet atmosphere...but imagine the " Windmills of Their Mind"...
so knowledgeable! 🤗
Most youtubers seem to need some time to find their groove, but YOU? Nah, you just crank out video gold after video gold every time. hilarious!
As a Nuc Med tech you have no idea how happy the glasses under the glasses made me.
My partner recently had a thyroid biopsy done by a radiologist. He was wearing jeans and a hoodie, and the pathologist was in joggers. Both were so fun to interact with.
Hola 🙌I m new radiology resident , the timing couldn't be more perfect 😄✨
Love your stuff, man. I’m a PT at a large hospital; I’ve got an idea for a PT skit. I’m more than happy to share; however, I know you’re more than capable of making that skit without anyone’s help 😎
Thank you for another witty skit and a generous amount of legs!!! I only watch for educational purposes!!
Oh dear, I can clinically correlate to this joke.
"Faster, thinner and more beautiful" is the credo and the national tree of radiology is the Hedge
A hedge of indeterminate height or shape, I assume…
@@marjieestivill Why stop at height or shape?
At my hospital we have a super cool and "normal" rad who does most of our procedures with us. He's also very good at what he does but we are all thankful for a cool, calm and collected doc who is "normal" (compared to some other rads). 😂
I don't know what's funnier, the entire skit or the reflection of him on his sunglasses filming himself.
Radiologists are great. I was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta and have had 133 fractures so I figure I’ve had at least 350+ X-rays and CTs in my day. 😮
No notes. Nothing to add, it's perfect. Bravo.
Seeing the phone in the radiologist's glasses every time, it's perfect.
I'm not even studying medicine but once I found this channel I haven't stopped laughing.
I love that you can see the reflection of himself filming on his phone, that cracked me up (in a good way)
Could not agree more as a radiology resident, you aced this one 😂😂
"If clinical suspicion remains for [whatever condition], recommend MRI."
I like the reflection on the lenses of his hands holding a phone with his face on the screen.
As a Radiographer, this SO encapsulates how I think Radiologists actually are
As someone who works from home, I feel that last one so hard. My aunt got me a pair of pajama pants for Christmas, and joked that she got me new work clothes.
Good notes to keep in mind. My radiology interview is next month, wish me luck❤️.
😎"My ophthalmologist is extremely worried." 😂😂
Perhaps [s/he's worried] because you need at least some cone cells in order to see fine details. Would a true achromatope have enough visual acuity to properly assess any image, even with corrective lenses?

@@laras678 Try it out and let us know. If it works out you can sell the film rights to Del Toro or Aronofsky, and the gene transplant technique to Dow, Monsanto, or BASF.
I understood none of these words. But I did notice that you could see the reflection of the phone in the glasses and then noticed that his kegs looked like he wasn't wearing pants. I thought it was funny till it turned out that neither were actually wearing pants. The commitment to the bit is impressive
Hottest tip I can offer after over a decade working in acute and subspecialty surgery...
When you call them to get your emergency imaging and they pick up the phone, open with this...
"I'm just seeing an emergency patient and I wonder if you could help me identify what modality of imaging might be best to diagnose the issue"
I've never failed to get them totally on board with the study I wanted initially
I've been waiting for this one! These tips will prove invaluable for my radiology ST1 interviews. Wish me luck!!
As a radiologist my favorite part of this was the small sunglasses. Nonspecific is one of my favorite as is correlate with physical exam. Also as the ER orders more inappropriate CTs I make sure to let them know how big patient stool balls are….physical exam recommended to determine the need for manual disimpaction
Lol that's so passive aggressive
Laughed loudly and only the stray cat to hear me and -flea- I mean flee when the Radiologist said he'd forgotten how to dress!
I like the insertion of Ophthalmology. Dr. G.. knows his specialization. I'm waiting for eye surgery as I'm blind at night now (autoimmune development), so Radiology would have been a mistaken career path. Dr. G... whensyagonna become a full-time Comic. You can write, act and I'll say it as I've said elsewhere have the condition 'Funny Bones' . Maybe work part-time, if you're still working, and watch venues fill up as you perform. Cone over the pond to the UK and do the Edinburgh Fringe. Please, if you are, tell us. I've been the Fringe once and it was magical. I even saw a relatively unknown Comedian who went on to great success. Careers are started or upped at the Fringe. Gr8 agents float around. With their lucrative career from developing good acts the probably have learnt to defy Gravity. I love seeing a successful artist and telling kids I knew them before they were famous. Eg if you know of the '80's Pop Group 'Simply Red'. I watched them as just starting out doing pubs and clubs in Manchester. We saw them for free! They went on to be a top band, I don't know if they're known in the States.
I'd say out if all the Pods I've watched of you, 99% make me laugh. The only ones I struggle with are where you're satirising medicine in your country. I don't even know what "Family Medicine" is! Is it the same as our British GPs?
Thanks for the laughter, which as the best medicine in its own right! 👍👍👍
The double sunglasses is such a nice touch. The light burns the radiologist.
As someone who is pursuing radiology, this video and comments were eye opening.
Man the light reflected off those legs was harsh enough for me to need sunglasses.
No pants and super cool sunglasses - damn, that's the badass radiologist we were all waiting for! 😎
P. S: waiting for the pulmonologist to appear soon in your videos
This is just in time for me to apply for Oral radiology programs, much obliged
I have no idea what half the references are but this is great!
1:20: Those x ray goggles are so powerful that the interviewer disappears in the reflection and instead its some person with a camera! Impressive!
Screw residency this channel has all I need to know
I like how you could see him recording himself through reflection.
As an x-ray tech, for 32 years, I can attest that this is accurate representation
Way funnier than all the other radiologist cameos! And very accurate, well done. Esp hedgy reports, complaints about order imput and teleradiology
Funny because the national recruitment interview for radiology in the UK is this week 😂
