Personal Statement: A Career As A Radiologist

1035 Words5 Pages

Imagine you go in for an x-ray of your hurt hand, and instead of being greeted with a person it's a robot telling you to place your hand on the table. You’re nervous about your results and instead of a nice doctor man telling you your hand is broken and you need surgery, it's a robot. Not very comforting, is it? Some people think that robots taking over healthcare could be a reality, I mean all radiologists do is press buttons, right? A robot can easily take over the job. Wrong. I believe that healthcare is too complex and requires human contact and communication. Robots do not have the ability to comfort patients, nor do they have all the skills required to perform the job of a radiologist or that of any healthcare provider. I do believe that …show more content…

I have many family members who were or still are working as health care providers. Being there for people to help them when they are in need has always been a big passion of mine. I'm a caring and compassionate person and I get to express that working in healthcare. It is challenging work though, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Healthcare can take a lot out of you, and having an aid would be great. I chose to pursue radiology because I want to be there for people. I'd hate to have something I'm so passionate about stripped away by a robot or AI, though I do not believe it will ever happen. Healthcare is too complex, which is also why having AI to simply just be an assistant would be awesome. The way technology is growing I believe that AI and robots will become super helpful to aid healthcare …show more content…

The writer from Intelerad states, “One of the most significant advantages of implementing AI in radiology is that it can continuously perform repetitive and tedious tasks, allowing radiologists to focus on high level work. It further helps in measuring anatomies and lesions accurately. Implementation of AI in radiology has helped companies achieve the best care and highest levels of efficiency possible.” AI has made the job of radiologist a little easier by providing support and doing all the tedious tasks that would take a person possibly many hours to do, allowing the radiologist to focus on other, maybe more important tasks. AI, while very helpful, still needs to be looked over by a human to ensure proper work is being done. According to Intelerad, “Even though AI has helped radiologists automate procedures, it still requires human supervision. AI requires human input and review to perform tasks efficiently. According to experts, although AI has become a part of healthcare, it still needs to mature to improve desired outcomes.” Even with all the new advancements of technology and AI, there is still a need for a human because the AI simply cannot perform needed tasks alone. There are more benefits to the aid of AI in radiology, such as cutting down

Robots haven’t just inherited a spot in the workforce—they’re showing exceptional productivity, expanding skills, and broadcasting their human counterparts. In recent years, with the engagement of manual labor so high, Americans during the Industrial Revolution had no choice but to deal with long, hard work hours while still dealing with their barbarous conditions. As time goes by, we have witnessed many robotic and mechanical devices replace jobs that were done by people. The question of the matter is whether our jobs are safe or will robots soon snatch jobs away from humans completely? The demand for artificial intelligence is rapidly overshadowing the time consumption and work hours that was once satisfied by the duties of human labor.

The first benefit is pay, on average a radiologist will make around $280k (pay scale). The next benefit in the potential to work from home, a radiologist can remote into a hospital network from home to read exams and give reports for stat exams for other doctors in an emergency situation. The next benefit comes from my interview with Dr. Ludka and when asking him about the benefits he told me “a benefit in my opinion is that there is no routine exam, meaning there is no two test are exactly the same and that makes so work doesn’t get boring” (Ludka). A fourth benefit is they have a direct impact in the patient’s wellbeing if they had diagnostic test done then the radiologist must read it in order to discover the patient’s condition and without accuracy a patient could potentially die depending on their condition. A final benefit is some of the extra perk that a radiologist get, with my interview with Dr. Wong I asked him about benefits and his answer was “working as a radiologist, we typically get more vacation time than any other doctor”

This is going to be a massive social challenge. There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better [than a human]. These are not things that I wish will happen. These are simply things that I think probably will happen.” — Elon Musk “You cross the threshold of job-replacement of certain activities all sort of at once. So, you know, warehouse work, driving, room cleanup, there’s quite a few things that are meaningful job categories that, certainly in the next 20 years [will go away].”
