Hi, I'm doing a rotation in internal medicine now, and before, have been really interested in going into Emergency. However, I've heard that Emergency docs are looked down upon by pretty much all fields, since they treat without thinking of long term consequences, and because they are just into rote memorization of treatment algorithms instead of thinking about the physiology or underlying nature of patient complaints.
I'm not posting this to start a flame war or anything, I'm just really curious to see how your perception of Emergency is. I'm still really interested as I need a really active field of medicine (or surgery?) and I really dislike ward rounds! Thanks for any advice....
