The way he described Radiology sounds like the ultimate dream job for me. I’m a civil engineer and want to go back to the junior college and start my medical school journey and I’ve really been debating neurology or radiology.
And I really enjoyed hearing a hybrid models where a radiologist came do impatient care and research/academic study. You get the technology and diagnosis satisfaction from doing impatient care and with the research/academic study, you get the stimulation of satisfying your curiosity towards the advancement of radiology.
I’m still going to keep an open mind but I think neuoradiology is my top choice right now. I watched your neurology episode and the neurologist you interviewed didn’t talk about his career the way this gentleman did.
I really appreciate the interview, it felt like a round table discussion while the others videos I watched felt more like an advertisement. Good job on the content!!

Thanks. Keep an open mind when in medical school as other possibilities may be a better fit that one wouldn't think.
