Hi SDN,
I've really enjoyed all my cardiology rotations and love the pathophysiology, imaging, and medical management of cardiology. I don't love the procedural aspect though, I have a tendency to freeze or get stressed when it comes to performing procedure-oriented tasks. I've read that most fellowships have you doing hundreds of caths throughout the three years. Are there any fellows/attendings who can comment on their thoughts on going into the field if you like the imaging/pathofizz/medical management aspect but not the procedural ones?
