If Donald Trump was a radiologist (thread)
When you use the word ‘innumerable’ in your report
When the junior doctor walks in and ‘orders’ a scan
When you do a CT biopsy and forget to wear your thyroid shield
When you reach the end of your night shift and you’ve only scanned 3 CT heads
When you check the bloods for the septic patient who needs a full body CT and WBC and CRP are normal
When you have to check radiopaedia for the MRI features of focal nodular hyperplasia
When you scan at 140kV
When the radiologist at the next reporting station is shouting into their dictaphone
When you realise the new lung cancer was there as a 3 mm nodule on the CT you reported 4 years ago
When you make small talk with hospital management
When the radiographer produces the perfect CTPA
When other radiologists criticise your ultrasound biopsy technique
When the surgeon gives their interpretation of the CT during the MDT
When the pathologist then confirms your reading of the CT
When you’re asked for a quick read of a whole body MRI at the end of the MDT
When you tell the ED doctor the scan will be normal and it is
When the CT scanner goes down but then starts whirring again
When you gather for the MDT Christmas photo
When you’re asked how big the PE is
When you use Fleischner nodule guidelines instead of British Thoracic Society
When you get referred one private scan
When someone says ‘you know that scan you reported a few weeks ago’
When you’re asked why you didn’t protocol any oral contrast for the abdominal CT
When you inject so much bleach into your veins you start seeing 5D MRI
