    Love your video! I was a specialty hoe too (and I'm gonna start using it from now on). I decided on pediatrics. It is sometimes overwhelming because there's a lot of interaction and then I just need my 30 mins of not talking to anyone on my way home but I like it. I never really thought about radiology but I remember I found it fascinating to look at scans during anatomy classes and figure out what is what. If I was to think again, maybe I'd consider radiology too. Thanks for the video!

      Haha. Use away. Never did paediatrics but loved my paeds radiology block and almost went into it. The kids were cute but didn't think I would be able to handle the parents long term.

    I have been moving between 3 specialities during my medical student years so I felt so related with the "specialty hoe too"
    Now I'm between two: Endocrinology and Radiology. (Sorry Neurology I had to let you go LOL)
    I loved your video the reasons you said its the same reasons why I love Radiology:
    1. Work enviroiment I'm exactly like you I hate the beep I wont be able to live in a emergency room
    2. The Scope of practice: not being exclusively in one medical field and also I love doing radiology reports
    3. Practical Skills :Same I like surgery but no for a lifetime and radiology makes you go and be there for awhile and I love that,
    4. The Nature of Job: I loved when you said that makes you wake up in the morning and also the Sherlock Holmes so perfect
    5. Less Patient Interaction is the only one makes me balance between Radiology and Endocrinology, I really like be in touch with the patients and spend time with them, I know sometimes its super hard to handle everyday because you can get involved too much but I dont know I like to have the contact and relate the tests and diagnosis with the patient
    But I have 4/5 so definitely I'm moving more and more to Radiology
    I loved your video and channell I think you will make me decide the right choice :)

      From what I've observed of radiology, I disagree with 4. That's the thing I like most in medicine, i.e. detective work, but radiology rarely does any detective work, they generally can see the answer straight away and don't even need to read the patient's history. I much prefer the more analytical style of thinking and detective work seen in internal medicine, neurology, rheumatology etc where you actually have to think about the case and integrate information to get a diagnosis, rather than the instantaneous pattern recognition done in radiology.

      @@vans4lyf2013 no it's false . You do detective work every time in radiology because you have plenty of different disease with the same images. Radiology is like a playing puzzle

    Thank you for the video and the test link, both are very useful! I've always liked psychiatry, but my temperament is terrible for that specialty. Radiology has always been a close second, and I may have a offer in a good radiology school in a month or so, I think I'll go

    Thank you on your enlightening video doc
    I’m considering radiology for so many reasons
    And the top of my list is the self doubt I have to deal with constantly when I have to deal with patients
    I absolutely do not like it
    Do I need to deal with this as a radiologist also
    Plus do I also have to be super good at anatomy
    I’ll really appreciate your feedback

      Thanks. Anatomy doesn't have to be great to apply/start, but will need to be by at least the second year and will get better as you progress.

    Can you share how did you know surgery is not for you? I'm also a doctor facing difficulty in choosing specialty. I was in OBGYN training and it was too much stressful for me. Now I'm confused between Cardiothoracic surgery and radiology and imaging. I don't like too much stress.
