Hi Guyes;
I am a 5th IMG from Jordan(hope know some geography!!)
I wonder if we can ask this question, surgery or IM. But really i have been trying answering it for 2 years but nonfruitfully. I accuse the cause sometimes to that both directions have contradictory attractive advantages and disadvantages. in other worsds what attracts u to IM isn't found in surgery ind vice versa. examples r obvious and many, IM residents enjoy being loaded of much much more knowledge than even specialist surgeons which makes them confident in dealing with the traditional daily "street" cases that ur family and neighbours often ask u about and willing that "surely" u would know it (although much of the sciece an Internist would learn is theoritical and just for keeping by heart, but the applicable knowledge in daily cases still serves an internist or FM more than a surgeon). in the other hand surgeons have much practice and interesting field of dealing with pathologies with hands and instruments, seeing renewable cases, little of chronic patients and respect socially. all these advantages r lacking in medicine and its subs.
I know that much of diffrences r still not mentioned waiting ur generous opinion to share me deciding the career of life as these weeks i live r serious to make my mind.
thanks alot.
