Radiologist

I found out that you can be making a good amount of money and still working an average amount of hours. A radiologist is not like a regular doctor, they do not have to be ready to respond to an emergency call. A radiologist just clocks in and reads the required amount of x-rays that day then checks out. A radiologist also works with the ultrasound equipment. A radiologist is a fully credited physician therefore they must complete the same requirements to become a physician as a general doctor. Which still includes eleven years of education; they must attend a medical school, and finally pass an examination from the National Board of Medical Examiners.

  A radiologist has very good health benefits. A radiologist can find work at a medical technology company. The pay is really not all that bad. A radiologist in Orange County on average is paid around 300,000 dollars a year.  Oak Valley Hospital only requires two years of experience. Education is not specified in requirements. There are many responsibilities that come with the job. At certain times you must be observing patients while they do the x-ray scans. You must also learn to perform maintenance on ultrasound equipment.

I found out I can be a doctor but not actually have to be working with the patient. Being a Radiologist sounds very good because I won’t have to be on call all the time in case something goes wrong or something tragic happens. All I would have to do is learn how to read x-rays and ultrasound graphs. The pay is very good and the benefits are about the same as a doctor.  I feel that being a radiologist is a perfect job for me. I like helping people indirectly not face to face.
