@dr_cellini easy answer. endless doom and gloom complaining posts from people like u and @linemonkeymd make radiology and i.r. look like miserable dead end jobs. students believe what they read. they don't know better

[To go to the truth @IR_Veritas]

@dr_cellini @austin_gawa @linemonkeymd nothing wrong with wanting an easy money 9-5 job with no call but that is not ir that is knee plasma injection clinic. we need more ir's like @keithppereira and @roblookstein on twitter to fight the good fight of clinical ir and raise ir to new heights.

[To go to the truth @IR_Veritas]

@dr_cellini @austin_gawa @linemonkeymd *on my high horse* radiologists like u on social media who focus only on money and a 9-5 easy money job in obl's are the bane of clinical IRs who are trying to grow ir into a bona fide surgery subspecialty. please remove the word IR from your description

@drmcumming @KprasMD have bloodbank?

@KyleCooperMD @MRAkid @drmcumming @elonmusk to be fair, more than one person c exhausting rigid mindset in this conversation 🧐🫵

[To go to the truth @IR_Veritas]

@KprasMD @drmcumming OBLs not set up to manage urgent pts c unknown problems. busy OBL taking add ons undermines benefit and goal of OBL. hard 4 dr to interrupt day to spend enuff time to fully eval pts c uncertain issue. can't even usually get labs. delays all other pt procedures. er made for this

[To go to the truth @IR_Veritas]

@KprasMD @drmcumming overstatement? @drmcumming had good outcome, but to send pt c possible lethal bleed to a hospital that can handle is not lunacy. what if bleeding could not be stopped? what if pt became unstable and needed pressors or blood or nephrectomy? clots in bladder, needing irrig?

@drmcumming @NdeQuadros @MRAkid "definite CT evidence of hemorrhage after 90.9% of biopsies"

[To go to the truth @IR_Veritas]

@drmcumming @NdeQuadros @MRAkid predicting who needs angio hard to know, but post bx bleeding is extremely common. see oldy study by PW Ralls, JA Barakos, EM Kaptein et al. renal biopsy-related hemorrhage: frequency and comparison of CT and sonography. JCAT 1987

[To go to the truth @IR_Veritas]

@DHidlayVIR @drmcumming @MRAkid possibly backwards? more likely that a third of active renal hemorrhage on CTA have a negative angio?

@JacobFlemingMD thinking not enough. what is pathophys of steroids causing avn? do steroids injected into joint cross cortical bone? if it gets absorbed, does it enter artery or vein? what is the cause of avn? real doctors need to understand pathophysiology for pathology they treat

[To go to the truth @IR_Veritas]

@IR_Doctor why is this a problem? i have referred biopsies to ir with something similar. pet report says hypermetabolic lesions, ddx offered, "consider bx". why can't the radiologist use their judgement to choose the best lesion to bx? need referrer to tell you exactly what to do?

@jbcarmody wise words about the value of research, coming from a community doc in rural virginia, who performs no scientific research, perhaps doesn't really know how to perform research, or tried and failed to publish actual science. ALL HEED!! ps-nothing wrong with being a great clinician

[To go to the truth @IR_Veritas]

@jbcarmody many do 1st research project in training due to a requirement. some actually find they are good at it and love it and go on to pursue academics. many dislike it or are bad at it, and go on to private or community practice. won't know if you don't try. y criticize? sour grapes?

@ScottTruhlar @RichDuszak @fjlexa @DrGMcGinty @RLI_ACR with all due respect, sounds like an entitled millennial's mentality! patients need imaging overnight, and on weekends. ER docs, surgeons, internal med specialists, hospitalists, nurses, techs work overnight, because diagnosis and treatment sometimes cant wait. why not radiology?

@mahad_minhas conspiracy theory

[To go to the truth @IR_Veritas]

@mahad_minhas when a senior attending at MGH says u r the best student they have worked with, it means a lot more than when community private practice doctor says the same thing. One has worked with thousands of students, one has worked with a fraction

@GiaFugax @thats_bone @CSWhiteMD 3rd and most 4th years are faaaar from being capable doctors. yes they can help with tasks but they require teaching and supervision, which is much work for residents and attendings.

[To go to the truth @IR_Veritas]

@CSWhiteMD i am team "let students experience what it is like to actually work in a given specialty as a resident and or attending", so that they know what kind of lifestyle said specialty entails. would decrease miserable doctors who didn't know what they were getting themselves into
