I'm finishing up my undergraduate studies and I'm trying to decide between going to medical school or podiatry school.
If I went to medical school I'd want to do general surgery. I've shadowed a lot in general surgery and really like the operations that are done. They look like a lot of fun, especially the robotic stuff.
I haven't shadowed in the OR for podiatry yet, from the videos I've seen it looks fun but I don't know if it's as fun as general surgery is, using with saws and drills must be fun though.
Some of the general surgeons I've shadowed were pretty high strung and advised me to do something else like PA since it's not as stressful and still good money. The podiatrists I shadowed were very happy, but on SDN people talk bad about the profession.
Can anyone please give me some insight to help me make this decision?
What matters to me most is probably independence and job enjoyment/satisfaction.
