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
