Starting the process of narrowing down choices, looking for ideas on fields:
About me:
240<Step 1<250
"Top 10" school (Whatever that means)
1 backwater research pub, another more prominent upcoming, but I'll be 3rd or 4th author
Likes:
Operating/Procedures. Doesn't have to be cutting per say, but working with my hands would be a plus.
A life outside of medicine. Not "Lifestyle" or cush, just want to be able to ski a couple times/wk, maybe go on vacation every once in a while.
Big, technical, tangible, focused problems with an identifiable solution (Things I can fix, eventually, even if the process is a sonofabitch)
Patient interactions & Continuity
Old people. VA patients in particular
Technology & big fancy toys.
A dash of diagnosis & medicine in general (For example, ortho turned me off because it seemed to lack those things, just left the operating)
A dash of Research
Dislikes:
Surgeons, surgical culture (Biggest argument against G-surg for me right now are the surgeons I've worked with so far)
Butt-pus (Or things with the words "Draining" and "Sinus" in them)
Social work
Recommendations?
