The radiologists get summoned to help the wards during COVID
| 00:00 - 00:03 | So as you can see, some 25% of doctors are now sick |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | Or self-isolating |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | And the wards are extremely short-staffed |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | The surgeons have been sent to cover medicine |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | And all the elective private reporting has dried up |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | We will still be needed |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | There's a 4 month MRI and plain film backlog |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Clinical Director, |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | The backlog |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | The backlog finished being reported this morning |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | So we're all being sent to the wards |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | All the radiographers and RDAs should leave now |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | Radiologists sent to the wards?! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | Whose fucking bright idea was that? |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | I fucking hate patients so much I don't even do ultrasound |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | I don't even do cannulas anymore |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | We've been such cocks to the clinicians |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | I never even tried to be helpful to the suckers |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | Deliberately obstructive, telling them to clinically correlate |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | What the fuck does clinically correlate even mean? |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, we've got to help the wards in an emergency |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | I couldn't give a shit how bad it is, they will fucking eat us alive |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, we all went to medical school |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | I went to medical school 30 years ago, when MIs were treated with bed rest! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | I don't even have a stethoscope |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | You don't realise how good we have it here |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | Recliner chairs, nespresso machines, climate control |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | We even have a tea lady for fucks sake |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | And they want to send us tramping around the hospital |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | Wards smelling of shit and piss, being hounded for a TTO |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | Prescribing drugs I've never even heard of, fiddling with oxygen |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | What the fuck even is PEEP and how do you prescribe a sliding scale? |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | I worked so hard in radiology |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | I've got the lowest discrepancy rate in the department |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | And what does that count for now? |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | How do you examine a chest? |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | I literally don't know where to put the stethoscope. Is it on the nipples? |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | The clinicians keep talking about tidal volume. Do I need to know about it? |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | What even is a high D-dimer? |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | I used to just pretend I knew about it when batting away CTPAs |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | And now they're emptying the department to only a skeleton staff |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry, they'll still need us for inpatient ultrasound |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | At least I can still look at x-rays on the ward round |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | Although it'll be on those fucking laptops on wheels |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | Which you can't window properly |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | My career is over |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | The clinicians will never take us seriously ever again |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | They won't fear us |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | At least histo will be shitter than us |
