I came to this video feelings the exact same frustration. The first con, that is so on point. The fact that they think they can read all our modalities without training and then not being able to correctly read an x ray in reality is really frustrating. I feel like we have become gate keepers for patients, rather than helping surgeons/physicians, its more like you need to provide an accurate diagnosis in whatever way you can, including being as involved as possible. just so that they don't make up their own screwed up diagnosis for a patient based on their half cooked assessment of imaging.
20 years out of training. Love it now. No stress. I would add if you're thinking of doing rads, if you're a 'people person' this is not for you. And if you are an OCD type, you can do this field, but I personally think you will end up torturing yourself with all the 'what ifs'. Need to be able to process things quick and move on .And on. And on. I work in my free time because it's still 'fun'. Thank god. Call as a resident *should be* stressful. You need to learn to make those hard decisions. Guess what? Before you know it, it's like riding a bike. As a resident you don't know when you don't know something because *you* don't know, or if it's truly ambiguous to anyone/everyone. Later on will you hopefully know it's just the latter and deal with it as such.Good luck!
Thank you for your insight!
Thank you for the informative video!
Hey! I'm a rad consultant in India for 4 years now and I totally feel the cons you mentioned! So on point. Also, I am married to a surgeon (who also claims to be able to read images:p)
Hello I absolutely loved your video its definitely making me lean way more towards radiology now. I was confused about one thing tho, You said in the pros section that radiology is a type of speciality where you work hard in the workplace but once you get home you can pretty much disconnect which is nice.
But in the cons section you said that radiology calls are very stressful and that none of yyou guys get any sleep?
Do you have to take calls every specific time interval or is it just kind of random?
Sorry if my questions don't really make sense, I just graduated High school and I'm not really sure how all this works. You earned a subscriber tho I definitely wanna learn more about radiology and your channel seems perfect for that!
Loved the video!
Hi! Thank you so much for making this video, I definitely got more of an insight onto radiology. However I was wondering something about night calls, do you get night calls after residency as often as you do during residency? Also is the pay during residency enough to live on? Thank you in advance!
thank you for this as a pre med hispanic woman really wanting to go into radiology!
😃😃😃 thank you for watching and best of luck! Radiology is a great field :)
Another one right here!🙋🏻♀️❤️
Same here! ☺️
I'm African Americans! Can't wait ❤️ hurray for diversity
Great video!
Thank you!
This video is go helpful! Thank you! I'm one eighth grade and I'm trying to decide on a career path. This video helped a lot.
I'm so glad!
During residency, how often were you on (overnight) call? Once a week? Once a month?
Hi there. hope ur doing good. i have a question thats not related to this video however can u tell me what are the chances of matching into radiology for an img with over 10 years of graduation if u have completed radiology residency in home country?
is it up to radiologist speak with patients to tell them the diagnosis or it has another option ? I want to become an radiologist but I dont want to talk with them and notice them they are with that or another desease.
thank you for speaking on minorities in radiology! im a woman of color as well looking to go into diagnostic radiology through the airforce & this video was very informative. it definitely made me feel better about going into this career field ❤️
Can you please tell me about the first year? Should we be knowing physics and math to get into residency? I just heard you should be knowing physics a lot when you are in radiology!
Yes in the first year we have to read physics 🤯
but if you are in diagnostics you cant do intervention or procedures tho??

I’m interested in radiology but don’t even know where to start. What schooling do I need before attempting residency? Like a four year medical degree or what? There’s a two year radiology tech program near me but not sure if same thing, doesn’t sound like it but I’m interested in this career. Just not sure where to start
Yes you need to go to medical school- MD or DO degree.
Being an IMG with a goal of doing a Radiology Residency in the USA, it's hard to be motivated all the time, and there comes a time when you start having doubts and start forgetting the reason why you started. I can't thank you enough for reminding me how awesome the Radiology field is and for giving a Positive push through your video. Couldn't have asked for anything better to start this year.
I wish your Channel grows every single day.
Happy New Year Dr. Gupta. And Congratulations on Matching into Fellowship 🎉🎉. Is It Breast Imaging?
You’ve totally got this! It’s worth it in the end :) thank you so much for your kind words! Yes breast imaging!
@@YashaGuptaMD That's Awesome... Congrats again :)
it's doable. make sure to get good step scores and have at least few publications under your belt. apply broadly as well :)
@@TypicalMrGamer Thanks u so much :)
its very hard to get in Usa , dont waste time of urnlife
Lovely video, thank you a lot, i do have two questions though, is there a difference between a radiology doctor and a diagnostic radiology one? are they considered doctors as well?
Yes all radiologists are doctors! The term diagnostic radiologist is used primarily to differentiate from interventional radiologists (a radiologist could be a diagnostic and/or interventional radiologist just depending on their training).
@@YashaGuptaMD uha !! okay that’s nice to know, thanks a lot 💖
Very good. This made me want to possibly pursue medicine again. Medicine or tech…
Why not both! Radiology is a great field for the tech/medicine crossroad :o)
I happen to really enjoy coding to the point that I’m considering software engineering as a career.
Hey Yasha. Is it hard to get into diagnostic radiology for non US IMG?
Is alternate pathway better ?
It is not easy but it is doable! Alternate pathway can be easier for some. I have a video about the alternate pathway.
How do radiologist or any type of specialist handle lawsuits? Are there ever times where malpractice insurance cannot cover the suit because it was tremendous amount? Can retired physicians still get sued? I feel like this is not talked enough and it should since this profession can be very dangerous because anyone can make a mistake and patients love to sue for anything.
Malpractice insurance
@@Nikx012 Not all cases can be fully covered by malpractice insurance due to the severity and type malpractice agencies. You might have to split up the punitive damages expenses with your medical partners. This is a risky dangerous profession getting into and should be discussed while being a pre-med to know what you are getting yourself into.
are you a radiologist? Its extremely hard to sue and win. Just because someting was missed on imaging doesn't mean you will sue and win.
Brains and beauty!
I absolutely love watching your videos (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ Thank you so much for sharing your detailed & enlightening knowledge/wisdom & inspiring words about women in radiology~
Thank you for the support!
Idk why I haven't heard about you before
Will AI replace radiologists? I guess nobody knows but likely. IR would not be replaced by AI, maybe mammo too.
What is the difference between Radiology and Radio-Diagnosis??
I think they are interchangeable terms just depends what country you are in and what you call it
In my country it's a female specialty, males are the minority in Egypt 😂
😄😄😄
True, call is the absolute worst
so you are a doctor and a radiologist?
Yes a radiologist is a type of doctor!
@@YashaGuptaMD oh, okay thank you! I was confusing being a radiologist with being a radiologic technologist 😅
The fact that she has alcohol in her background, says everything you need to know about Radiology.
Lol chill it’s just a bottle of wine
Just want to judge people
You focus on other stuff instead of taking the information
“I can read CT scans” pardon me but what a tool.
I know! I was so taken aback by the comment!
its cuz surgeons....
CT scanning is a tool.
Thing is, very specialized physicians are usually ok at reading what it is they need to know about their specialized field. Problem is, they know nothing about the rest of what’s on the images and so they have a distorted view the entire study being interpreted. Radiologists are there to overview the entirety of the study, make links between findings (or disregard), as well as comparisons with priors. Radiologists are therefore responsible for ALL OF THE IMAGES. Medical-legally it’s very stressful but its also very challenging and probably the most fun specialty out there.

You lost me at all the nonsense ''woman'' talk. And this coming from a radiologist. Ugh...
Hi! What part of it made you feel that way?
@@YashaGuptaMD I do not ''feel'' that way. It is as it is and I observed it. A cursory view of every research done shows more women are enrolled in university and in medical school. Yet the victim-flavoured talk never ceases or even slows down. Nay, it increases! It's almost as if nobody will be satisfied unless and until all men and boys are completely illiterate and dead, and out of higher education altogether. You may not personally be like that, and I otherwise do enjoy your analyses, but that was just annoying. But such is the narrative. Women tend to NOT be interested in things and machinery, as a whole; hence radiology attracts more men. Women tend to be interested in people and kids, as a whole; hence paediatrics and Gyno attract more women. Obviously exceptions abound, but generalities still apply.
No roving band of males conspiring to box women out. In fact, every establishment I have ever worked at, ACTIVELY seeks females and minorities. I am a man, and a racial minority myself, and I look more like i built the hopsital with my bare hands than a doc, and i live in the whitest most homogenous area on earth. Nobody takes me seriously at first sight, and I stand out like a male kindergarten teacher! Yet, I focus on my mission. I do not have victim mindset. Granted, injustices must be acknowledged and addressed. But this is hardly an injustice. It is a preference. Most females do NOT like radiology. Nobody complained about lack of females when I was working at a warehouse in -35 degrees Celsius. Just seems disingenuous, and leaves young women scared and apprehensive over something that hardly exists, and young men guilty over a non-existent injustice. Anyways. Such is the world. In the end you can say whatever you please. As I do...
@@judgehenryallenlaudermilk6282 You sound triggered...I would recommend getting off the internet for a while and going for a walk. Plus, the part where you mentioned people thinking you built the hospital and not being a doctor is EXACTLY why this sort of conversation needs to happen. We need to change the mindset that just because someone is brown, doesn't mean they are maintenance staff. Cheers.
@@cardiacmyxoma4073 I clearly said injustices must be addressed. Never said such conversations should be not happen. Quite the contrary. I even ended with saying everyone expresses themselves, as I do. I'm not ''triggered'' as you modern haters say. Actually sounds like you are. You didn't even read my text and start with name-calling and shaming coz deep down you KNOW I'm hundred percent correct! hahaha! Clearly you are not only triggered but hypocritical. And, who says I'm brown? Oh the assumptions. just sit down and hold your tongue. Take part of your own message; get off the internet except please do NOT go for a walk. Spare people from seeing your ugly soul and filthy, hateful, and prejudicial countenance. Misandrist. Just stay home. and sleep. I maintain all I said...
@@judgehenryallenlaudermilk6282 this is 100% true
