Are there any Radiologists (or Rads-to-be) out there who were ever in this dilemma?
I loved surgery (hands on, technical aspect) but hated the miserable residency and long hours/bad call schedule (even in most surgical subspecialities)
I like Rads a lot, less "exciting" but interesting in the sense that you can "see" the diagnosis that the other docs can't... there are new modalities are here now and more on the horizon (so the future seems bright)... and the hours seem to be better
i'm afraid if i let my heart lead me to surgery, i might get burned out soon and regret not taking the cushier "close 2nd" choice
