Hey guys, I really love ENT and ortho because i love the subject matter of both and the medical management and lifestyle of ENT while also having a sports/athletics background and loving the musculoskeletal system from college and med school anatomy...i was wondering, because I'm a pianist and not a wood-shopper who is already skilled with power tools, etc., like so many of the orthos, i'm apprehensive about going into ortho and thus have been favoring ENT over ortho thusfar (i guess because maybe i feel i have more talent at this point in fine motor skills that would be better for head and neck and only really hand surgery in ortho, as opposed to being the skilled wood-shopper that most orthos seem to be)...am i dumb to be basing any of my decision on choosing ortho vs. ent for this reason at all? basically, are any great orthos out there not natural wood shoppers but rather more skilled in fine motor movements like piano like i am (i've heard from lots of neurosurgs that they are great with their fine motor movements in part cuz of stuff like piano so i figure it should help for ENT-head and neck)...what other factors should i consider to decide between ortho and ENT (differences in lifestyle, personality of the field, ent involving medical management and ortho being more surgical, etc.)? how did ENTs who thought about ortho decide against ortho?
thanks so much!
thanks so much!
