I couldn't resist any longer. I sent another email... hopefully I don't piss anyone off. If I hear anything back, I'll let y'all know.
In the interim, to spark some dialogue. I'm interested to know what medical specialties you are each interested in.
For me: my career has spanned infantry, and licensed practical nursing. I have a passion for trauma medicine, or anything fast paced. I spent three years as a part of a Forward Surgical Team (now called Forward Resuscitative Surgical Detachment), both in Garrison and Deployed. I am eager to specialize in Trauma Surgery or Emergency Medicine. The other reason for this decision, is instant gratification (I know.. sounds a little odd). With trauma, each intervention can be visualized immediately for efficacy. Whereas other specialties require long term visualization before change can be appreciated.
