Most radiologists are employed full-time and work a 5-day, 40 to 50-hour week. However, this number may vary considerably depending on experience. At the beginning of their careers, doctors are often expected to work much longer hours. Those who work in clinics or hospitals may have to work evening and weekend shifts to meet the needs of their patients.
In addition to their scheduled workweek, many radiologists are on call at times when they are not at work. This means they can be called in at any time, day or night, to attend to emergencies. On-call activities can add several hours to a workweek, making it difficult to balance a career with family life. Also, working so many hours can be exhausting.
Radiology is not physically demanding work. However, there can be a great deal of emotional stress, especially when working with extremely ill or terminal patients. Despite the long hours and stress, radiologists report a high level of job satisfaction.
Potential hazards exist when working with certain imaging equipment. Exercising proper safety precautions minimizes the risk, however. For example, those who work with x-ray machines retreat behind shielding devices to avoid exposure to radiation. Those who work with MRIs make sure no metal objects are brought into the imaging room, as the machine is a powerful magnet that will draw anything metal across the room toward it.

Can homoeopath become a radiologist?
I would answer this with a no, because homeopaths are practitioners that work with the homeopathic remedies in a holistic matter. Radiology is philosophically the opposite of that and it would require a complete new set of training and education. Technically, they could go on to become a radiologist if they attended four years of medical school and completed a residency in radiology, but I doubt homeopaths do this very often.
