hey all. i'm an MS3 with a history of posts in the step 1 forum and the emergency medicine forum. i am beginning to consider pathology as a possible career choice. here's a rub to the story though: before med school i had worked very very briefly with an M.E., as an autopsy assistant and i hated it. i hated collecting dead and decaying people from all over town, and i thought the autopsies were nasty and brutal. i'm not an easily grossed out person at all, but i really didn't like these forensic autopsies. so my question is: does this mean path is a bad choice for me? i love looking at slides, i have a strong laboratory background, and i find the field interesting and the study of pathology fun. what do you think?
thanks everyone
