Hi folks,
I was wondering whether anyone started to feel the same way I do. I chose peds b/c I enjoy working with the kids and their parents. IM would have been a default for me, I enjoyed my medicine rotation, but nothing "jumped out" at me. Peds was nice, comfortable, and easy-going so I chose peds. Now, once I certified my ROL and the finality of the situation begins to sink in I wonder, and am anxious, whether I made the right decision.
Peds is hard. Enjoyable as it may be, the 3 upcoming years and the years beyond make me think "what the hell did you do?" I am a male in a now female-dominant field. I don't know if this has me thinking too hard or is it just natural anxiety but I am really concerned that I will be, in the words of an uncle, "just giving vaccines and throat cultures all day." I don't know what to think.
