Breast radiology culture
Can someone please tell me what is normal in breast radiology? I am independent in general ultrasounds, ct biopsies including lung and ultrasound biopsies (including liver and peirtoneal) but ive been in my breast radiology rotation for a while now and they were very reluctant to let me biopsy. When I ask they said no because the patient might bleed or get a pneumothorax??? Apparently the consultants in my training programme were not independent in reporting mammograms or mri when they started their first year as consultant (some even biopsies!) and this is normal??? Some had not reported any mris prior to starting their consultant job and this was 5 years ago, not way before when mri breast didnt exist. What is the point of doing a rotation if you're not going to be able to do anything or gain competencies? Or is this a case of them gatekeeping and not wanting to train me?
