I was searching for why I left surgery and then i found your video. I am 40 and i WAS a consultant surgeon. I switched on to radiology after cracking the exam. It's a lifestyle modification for me now. Surgeons are actually rewarded very less for what they do.

Well done! It takes a lot of courage to leave a path and join another. You will achieve and succeed.. and have more time and fun! You will never regret trying your dream out first.

Glad you made it out before it was too late! Just made the same switch myself!

Hi, I just wanted to say your CST interview videos were a HUGE help to me and recieved a ranking I wouldn’t have gotten without them. Best of luck on your new journey :)

Your CST interview videos are fantastic! Tough call but thanks for bringing this decision making out to the open to help others, you will succeed in any path you choose. Wishing you all the best!

Thank you for sharing your story! I am in a very similar position to the one you were in and am applying for ST3 ENT training. I really respect that you took ownership of your life, thought about what you wanted long term and switched to radiology. When you lay it out so clearly, I have no doubt you've made the right choice!

OMG did not expect to see a familiar face on YT Jack! I am so happy you are doing what you like. In case you don't remember me, Saleem ortho SHO from Colch! Lots of love and respect for stopping to introspect and following through the decision to leave this path!

but we still do night shifts in radiology. however i agree radiology is a better overall lifestyle than surgery. i also switched from surgery to radiology :)

Way to go Jack! Much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬

All the best to you 👍 it takes lot of courage to take such a huge decision

Thanks for posting this- really sorry you had a tough time in CST. Current CST having a similar experience. Congrats on the training number- very well deserved! Looking forward to your radiology videos.

Great content and you made the best career decision! We've subscribed for more of your awesome content

Wow That was hard to decide, for sure. Hope you doing well ❤

Hey Jack, best of luck with the change. Love the quality of the video production too! See you soon!

Hope to see more of radiology videos on your channel soon

Hi, thank you so much for sharing this. Never met you but felt like I was watching a friend talking to me. I'm a CT1 and share some of the struggles you mentioned in your video. It's so good to know I'm not struggling alone. Good luck with your radiology career!

Good luck 💕

Radiology is hands down the best field in medicine

Your thoughts on AI and outsourcing. I think the need for radiology reads will continue to increase exponentially but how much will be taken over by AI and outsourcing ? Yes, there will always be the need for some radiologists but how many.

Radiology is much more powerful and respectful to ourself more

Am about to make your same decision ,defiantly i will need to speak to you more

i too left surgery albeit general surgery some decades ago. decided did not want to not sleep for 3 years just to get booted in the 3-4 year pyramid cutoff. many a competent 3rd year did not make it into 4th. was very common for residents with 3 years GS to enter rad, anesthesia, or even plastics before it became prestigious. does ENT have a pyramid in the UK ?? USA does not

Hi Jack, with taster weeks... did you organise them in your own hospital system? This is more of a logistical question; if you get a taster week for 3 days at a hospital you've never worked at before, who organises the swipe cards and parking access etc (especially on shorter notice)

I want to leave medicine for clinical radiology.

Thank you

Hello - this video is very insightful thank you. What do you think about working at less than full time? Do you think working at LTFT would have made a difference? I'm considering surgical training but also worried about work-life balance.

Hello i'm new radiology resident and i used to hesitated between radiology and maxillo surgery. I choose radiology . But it my second week i'm lost. And don't know if i made the right decision or not.. i was afraid of doing the same operation in surgery plus it take so much time and it's long in my country.. 6 year + 2 years. Vs 5 radiology

Thanks can i get contact from this profession

Good luck with your career choice

Good luck🙂

Good luck
