The panic whenever I’d see a question about k-space on the boards.

Yeah X has gotten worse and worse. Now the default posts you see when you pull up the app is For You rather than the accounts you actually follow. Everything about it is getting more and more toxic. On here though, β˜€οΈ. Hopefully more people in the community make the switch and #MedSky & #RadSky

Overall, I think it makes sense that younger physicians value work/life balance so highly in comparison. While the focus of the job should always be patient care, our generation realizes that great patient care is not mutually exclusive to great self/family care. πŸ’β€β™‚οΈπŸŽ‚ & πŸ½οΈπŸŽ‚

9) The expansion of #Al in medicine is allowing more physicians to have an entrepreneurial role in developing technologies that improve patient care. This can allow them to supplement their income outside of the hospital or pivot their career altogether.

8) The interconnectedness of today's world makes it easier for physicians to compare their job to those of friends/ colleagues across the country. It's much more common for one to switch jobs early in their career if it isn't in line with their personal or professional goals.

7) Younger physicians have grown up in an age where it's rightfully more acceptable to openly discuss and prioritize mental health, including one's own.

6) We, as a society, have become more aware of the effects that constant stress and lack of sleep have on an individual throughout their lives and are doing what we can to combat the effects through prevention.

5) Young physicians have seen many other industries increase their focus on work/life balance and are less willing to accept the tired platitude "well I had suffer through it, so you should too".

4) More young physicians are hospital/ system employed. Since they don't directly share in the costs/profits of private practice ownership, they don't feel the burden of needing to work longer hours to enhance the financial stability of the practice.

3) The rise of social media misinformation has created more misguided public distrust in the medical system as a whole which then puts physicians in a more constant position of acting as educators against disinformation. This increases the rate of burnout.

2) The culture of medicine has shifted to be more defensive in regards to practice patterns and the ramifications of a more litigious society. This contributes to a generalized over-utilization of medical. resources, stretching thin an already anemic physician workforce.

From my experience, absolutely. Plenty of AI tools are already used to help radiologists become faster and more accurate. The long-told scare story that AI is going to take over radiology and make radiologists obsolete isn’t true. But I think radiologists need to be more involved in AI development.

This would probably help some adult patients too πŸ˜‚
