“Everybody cannot engage in re-inventing the wheel due to a change in the goal post. On the contrary, radiology trainees are being lured into taking up Nuclear medicine as a subspecialty interest. The marketability of skills was pre-emptively used on the wrong premise that the need for Nuclear medicine physicians will decrease. It has increased, and there is a global shortage of trained Nuclear medicine physicians to deliver the services to the patients in need today, and worst is projected. Interestingly, scientists: medical physicists, radiopharmacists, radiochemists, technologists, and cyclotron engineers, all are benefitting from the growth of Nuclear medicine, while trained Nuclear medicine physicians are being denied to celebrate the “tryst with destiny.””
