So one of the specialties I'm considering is ENT (among other surgical specialties) because I like working with intricate and delicate structures. I recently spoke with a physician (non-ENT) and when I mentioned that I was looking into ENT, he quickly discouraged me from doing it.
He says that in order to make money in ENT, you have to go into facial plastics because (1) the otology and rhino surgical cases rarely have successful outcomes and (2) nobody really gets tonsils removed nowadays since they've found that it has little benefit.
What do you guys think about the cases and future outlook for ENT? As I mentioned, I'm not really interested in any kind of plastics (because I suck at art and drawing), and I'm more interested in doing the more therapeutic surgical cases.
