3rd year's coming to a close and I have a handful of ortho audition rotations lined up for 4th year. I like ortho - definitely more than anything else. I'm just not sure if the demanding life of a surgeon is what I want out of life so I've considered taking a year off to take some time doing research in EM or radiology, two specialties I haven't had a chance to experience.
I love working at the hospital and in the OR. I enjoy the cases, surgeries and even clinic.
My question is this: has anyone gone into ortho not 100% sold on it, with some reservations/uncertainties about the specialty, but ended up loving it as a career?
