What if one of the most valuable skills in medicine is being able to say the simple two-letter word: no?

For many radiologists, saying no can feel harder than taking overnight call, joining another committee, or agreeing to "just one more project."... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

38. Artifacts of the Mind Part 1: Paging Dr. Imposter *CME*
Q: What strategies have actually worked for you in practice to manage this?
Being intentional about compartmentalization and blocking time, planning six months to a year ahead, communicating boundaries with family, and creating concrete signals to stop working (like charging the laptop until the battery dies) help maintain balance and reduce spillover between personal and professional life.
38. Artifacts of the Mind Part 1: Paging Dr. Imposter *CME*
Q: Taking a step back just a little bit more, what is imposter syndrome to you?
Imposter syndrome is a feeling of being a fraud that arises from three core beliefs: you don't deserve your position, you don't belong, and you are not enough. These thoughts are fueled by external cues and the high-pressure medical environment, but they can be reframed as part of a growth process rather than a fixed truth.
42. Artifacts of the Mind Part 4: Emotional Intelligence as the Antidote
Q: How can the integration of AI be managed so it supports clinicians rather than increases stress?
AI should be leveraged to free clinicians for more human interactions and restorative activities; the goal is to reduce cognitive load and burnout by handling repetitive tasks, while ensuring clinicians have time and bandwidth for meaningful engagement with patients and peers.
42. Artifacts of the Mind Part 4: Emotional Intelligence as the Antidote
Q: Dr. Frey, could you explain emotional intelligence in a way that radiologists can apply it day-to-day?
Emotional intelligence starts with self-awareness—identifying what you're feeling and where it manifests—then moving to self-regulation, empathy, social awareness, and motivation to use those insights to stay grounded, manage uncertainty, and make better decisions under pressure.
33. AI Roadblocks Part 2: Legal Lag
Q: How do you see the role of legislation and regulatory bodies evolving in tandem with AI advances in radiology?
Legislation may shift from reactive to proactive, with emphasis on human-in-the-loop, adequate quality assurance, and standards that guide AI use while courts help refine the evolving standard of care through emerging case law.
