It's been an interesting experience, if nothing else. Although a more accurate description, given my personal leaning toward clinical work, might be that my research was built up as a part of my clinical hours. I suppose I just lucked out in that my research interests happen to line up well with clinically-obtainable information. Either that, or my interests have slowly been molded to fit the status quo.
The downside is that, personally, I wouldn't consider myself to have as much of a true "research mind" as someone like yourself who has had more true-to-life lab experience. My dissertation is forcing a bit of that on me, but again, I'm nowhere near the levels you, JonSnow, Ollie, and others here regularly deal in.
