Here's the deal...
I'm screwed. I already sent out applications for surgery, but after doing a bunch of surgery rotations, I'm starting to feel burnt out, and am seriously reconsidering... So, I'm doing a 2 weeker in Radiology, and I'm realizing that I didn't really think too seriously about it--I'm enjoying myself quite a bit. I'm rediscovering my love for anatomy, and the technology of radiology, combined with the intellectual challenge of diagnosing a variety of illness across a wide patient population and imaging modalities is pretty appealing. The problem is, that I still don't feel like two weeks is enough exposure to make the decision to apply. Plus, I'm wondering if getting a decent amount of sleep, and having time to see my friends and family is adding to the appeal. Anyways, I don't think the radiology ship has sailed for me yet. I mean, if I decide to apply now, and I mean RIGHT NOW, I won't get the high power programs, but some good programs are still within the deadline. I also think I have the stats to pull it off if I gave it a serious try. But I'm wondering what you seasoned radiology people out there think of this situation.
