In my country you have to study 12 years to become a radiologist, so, no I don't think radiologist is a "low level doctor", they are way overpaid though...

- ourmandave 3y agoThe radiologist can use AI to automate billing you separately through the hospital.
- efitz 3y agoAre you saying 12 years of study after medical school? Even surgery, opthalmology, etc don’t require that. When I say “doctor” I already included 20 years of education. In the USA radiology is sometimes outsourced; I don’t know all the ins and outs but the last few radiologists I had interpret results anppeared to be overseas.
- Sai_ 3y agoI think they're (over)paid they way they are because they have to look at fuzzy data and made tough calls. Is that cancer? Is it benign? Is it the mild version of a disease or is it the virulent form? All this from black and white images with death as the possible price of a false diagnosis. I have no skin in the game. Only know that my son was recently diagnosed with pneumonitis by an experienced radiologist on the basis of a lung x-ray. We were suspecting worse but this (correct) diagnosis made me want to hug the guy.
