I wouldn’t be surprised if the 40-60 tons of MBT spread out over that huge contact patch is actually less weight per square inch than the Ram’s 4 tons spread out over (complete guess here) 120 sq in contact patch.

Did you notice at :34, as the truck is rolling over onto the driver’s side, the door opens, driver falls out the door, and the truck finishes rolling over and he jumps up. Just missed crushing him flat or if he hadn’t completely cleared the door, cutting off half of his body or at least his legs! :0

Since I’m a pessimist and I have read about those changes in academia, I’m betting you’re right. The power is shifting from the professionals to the administrators.

That makes a lot more sense. Maybe that’s why they’ve got those Indian radiologists doing the night reads?

HUGE difference doing work requiring high levels of concentration and knowledge at 11pm vs at 4am.

Yes, sitting by myself in a dark room is exactly what I do now. Actually I would be happy sitting by myself in a dark room just reading cases, thinking about diseases, anatomy, physiology and coming up with an answer to the question/puzzle.

NYT seem to run a lot of anti-doctor articles (although I agree with them). Our medical system is not currently “free market”. Free market requires participants to have full knowledge of products, cost, quality. Currently the medical system hides cost and quality from the consumer. (that is slowly changing).

yeah, but I’m still not clear on why that would be good for me. I’d still have to overread their prelim readings.

Neat that you’re part of Radiopaedia. We depend so much on those websites nowadays. Do you know what happened to RadiologyAssistant.nl? That was really my favorite go to site, especially for HRCT.

“I guess, and don’t actually know, that we earn similar amounts to many other physicians.”

The Australian rads give preliminary reads. The hospital rads in your area still do the final report (and get the payment) for legal reasons.

I agree with Jeff - legally, overseas rads can do initial preliminary reports but US based and licensed rads do the final reports. And they’ve been telling me to not become a radiologist because computers will replace them since medical school in 1990 - hasn’t happened yet and won’t for a long time.

Groups like that - outsourcing so they don’t have to do overnight call deserve to lose their contract. And they are.

One of the reasons I went into radiology was that all of the radiologists I met during med school were happy people. I started out that way too. Radiology (along with medicine in general) has changed so much since then. It’s now a grind, get those cases read now. I don’t see myself as much different as those Foxconn…

We have PA’s for Interventional Radiology doing the basic stuff; line placements, biopsies, drainage, etc. The IR radiologist does the more complex procedures.

He’s already won the lottery.

Since I don’t know German, I should have known their German would be suspect. Why do they have an affinity for using German though? And not Spanish or French or Swedish or anything else?

I’ll join everyone else. Prior to age 45, I paid pros to fix my cars. After realizing they screw things up often, I figured I can screw it up myself as well as they can. Progressed to removing and replacing the transmission on an Audi A8, fixing the wrecked top end of an 87 325is that snapped it’s timing belt, removed…

Very late I know but still in the same year. But then I just binge watched this whole thing only last night. I thought she was not a human being, a cyborg. Maybe she was part of the Imperial Arms of Coro. She always needed him to bite off her arm to activate one of her 10 weapons. A variant of the organic Imperial…
