If you see the readings I get from our local radiologists regardless of the study, I’d exclude them too. too often, they act as technicians offering no clinical value. Heck, 5 years – 350,000+, and playing with computers. I’d switch anyday of the week and rather be excluded from google’s committee rather than works 60+ weeks, paid $150,000, seeing 25 pt per day (yes humans), spend time trying to read the study and see if it helps me clinically mame a decision, call families with results, etc.
ps: When was teh last time that a radioligst called and spoke to a patient after an abnormal mamogram.
Google is right to exclude technicians, and only keep physicians.
ANON:
It isn’t the job of the radiologist to “call” the patient. Their job is to interpret the mammogram in
a professional manner.
Sounds like you may need a career change.
Good luck!
