When I say traveling, I do mean that literally. None live in Paris. A while back, someone commented that RR could be reading from Chile...could be, but the same radiologist could be reading from his office here. There is a world of difference.



He knows his techs, knows the equipment, and has the background for knowing which way to step off in a questionable call (if it is pathology, machine characteristics, or operator.) All the on-line folks just error to the "questionable, recomend additional tests...." dictation. And their in-house locums do the same thing.

I think that it is interesting that PRMC would pad their physician list with "virtual" radiologists who have never set foot in our hospital and have probably never heard of Paris, Texas. Yet here they are listed as proud members of the medical staff....frank

Oh , I don't know.....call me crazy, but I like to be able to see my radiologist face-to-face and not via a computer screen over in east BFEinstan.

But hey, that's just me......I kinda like that HUMAN touch in medicine, in the same room, not in the same solar system.

You can have a CT done at the hospital and it takes days for the doctors to get the results back. You can have a CT done at Red River and normally the doctor has the results back the same day (normally before the patient can return to the office to get the results).
