You KNOW you’re a radiologist when...1. ...you switch off all the room lights when watching TV or when you are at the computer
2. ...the strawberry milkshake at McDonald’s turns you off (It looks like a barium preparation for a swallow)
3. ...someone asks a favour from you in the middle of the night, you say, “Will it make much of a difference if I do it for you tomorrow morning, instead?”
4. ...someone asks you to comment on a picture, you use words like “soft”, “too noisy”, “motion blurring”, etc.
5. ...you refer to dust on your wedding photo as “artifacts”.
6. ...your spouse asks you how your day was, you describe it in detail and sum it up by giving an overall impression.
7. ...you always wonder what’s that thing hanging around other doctor’s necks, and then suddenly it hits you – it’s a stethoscope!
8. ...every time you see other people’s hands, you think to yourself, “Mmmmm...good veins!”.
9. ...someone asks you what's the best contraceptive, you say, “X-ray”.
10. ...in order to drive the point home that your spouse took too many photos with the camera, you do a reject analysis.

Hey! I was your student in UM and was working in UH as an HO. I was working in Sungai Buloh hospital before I took my leave.
I linked you. Hope you don't mind.
I enjoy reading your funny med jokes :)
Any plans to come to Switzerland?
Yes, I figured that you might be one of the many HOs who came down to radiology to ask for urgent requests!
I am quite happy you linked me actually. Otherwise, nobody really visits my blog!
No plans to go to Switzerland, but if I do, I will surely e-mail/contact you via your blog.
I like reading your blog. Very interesting!
Let us know if you plan to come here. We can meet up!
Yes, I was one of those HOs. I guess, we were irritating our radiology lecturers for nonsense urgent requests made by our bosses.

hi kalpana,
go ahead and use them. Most of them are not mine anyway.
Thanks for dropping by my blog!
This is real funny!
I really want to be a radiologist, everything in my dream is to be one! Working in the medical department is almost like getting one million dollars from doing nothing. I'm pretty young to think of something like this, but it's a huge step of my life, and some i really want to do. Loved the joke!
I would like to some of your comments in a lecture. Do I have your permission?
Sudhakar,
go ahead and use them.
Just mention my name and my blog's name and URL as well :-)
I'm a veterinary radiologist (dvm who has completed a 1 yr internship and 3 yr diagnostic imaging residency) in the US. Heard a funny joke about radiology while in vet school..."What's the leading cause of death in radiologists?...They get run over in the parking lot at 4:30pm by pathologists." Can't say that's true b/c we work much harder/longer than most people know, but it's a stereotype that will probably endure for a while.
