A sneak peek into the Geisinger radiology ED reading room.

As a paramedic for 10 years we definitely don't give these people enough credit. Radiology is so underrated.

I worked in an ER for 30 years. Radiologists are incredibly valuable members of the patient care team. Their technology and skills have dramatically improved the quality of medical care. There are many, may patients that I have cared for that are alive and well, thanks to the skills of radiologists.

When I was an undergrad, I visited an alumnus from my school who is a radiologist. I just wanted to chat with him and ask questions about possible career choices. He answered me while looking at the screen the whole time in a dark room, just as shown in this video. It blew my mind how these people work.

Thank you for all the hard work you do. But how depressing to be stuck in a windowless room like that.

[geoinfierno]

Proud to be a radiologist! Heroes that work behind the scenes to help save lives!

[AaronRTims]

This is a really simple video, but as an M3 who hopes to go into Radiology, this was really exciting!

Reminds me of air traffic control, specifically TRACON. At the end of the day, radio does important work, and whoever wants this life, all the power to you.

Notice how the bowl of food appearing at 00:40 ish doesn't get finished until like... 4:00 am? Busy doctor types!

I find it interesting that many of the comments indicate machine reading is more accurate than MDs. I see the gross inaccuracies still so prevalent just in EKG computer readouts and I have to wonder a little...

X-ray and MRI Tech for 8 years now. Couldn't do my job without my Rads! I appreciate their reads on my images. At least I get to get up and move around switching patients and exams up lol. It's cool to sit at my desk while scanning, but sitting there all day would put me to sleep!

[briancannon]

I like how they can raise the desk if they want to stand

[dionbaillargeon]

I'm impressed by the fact that it took her five hours to finish her dinner.

This coworkers and all your art in a professional evolving, could make us more safe today, good contend.

[yehhshhs]

Why is the right side light on ?? TOO MUH LIGHT BROOOO

[GoodKnight]

Damn, they have 3 screens AND an adjustable table?

[OscarFalcon-zyvw]

Seems to be a common problem with the ER using imaging as their physical exam.
Often also used as a progress note.

Guy in purple shirt sits like I do, with terrible posture, almost laying down in the seat.

[yusufjeewa]

I feel that many of the comments made here are by people who are not even in the healthcare industry...

[joitalianstyle]

I once gave a lamp to a radiologist, he was in shock

[jasonduvall]

The description says ED, and I'm thinking, how in the world can reading cure my ED?
