We need to ask ourselves what is in the best interest of our patients. Radiologists are physicians who are trained to perform various invasive and non-invasive procedures after many years of medical school, residency and fellowship programs. We are trained to recognize unforeseen problems or complications, including very subtle abnormalities. I am personally responsibile to provide the best care to my patients and I take that responsibility as a solemn duty. Patients want  their arthrograms, upper gastrointestinal barium studies, myelograms, etc. performed and interpreted by radiologists.  I have an overall disagreement with the concept that non-physicians can provide this level of care. Therefore, I oppose legislation that would allow further expanse into this area.
