Typical day

Majority of the time sitting in the radiology reading room observing the attending dictating the radiology report.  Some of the time spent observing exams such as upper GI's, lower GI's, small bowel follow-throughs, and ultrasounds.  The rest of the time was spent killing time in between exams while the attending took breaks.
