Found this a while back on the cheezburger network (Failblog, Graphjam,Lolcats).
 
I tried to get through it, but I failed at the first step.

haha that's fun. apparantly on the days when i feel crazy i should be do emergency medicine and on sane days be a pediatrician😛
 
I always get "wow I would've never guessed that you'd want to be a trauma surgeon....you look sooo nice!"
 
I'm cool with both adults and children, so I guess med-peds?

Family Med would probably be easier.

Also, what does this chart imply for those who go for a Med/Psych double specialty?

That is almost verbatim what I thought after I read it 🙂
 
im doomed to radio, derma, or opthalmology since I'm not afraid of light or dark, but i'm sane and not very hard working... haha
 
Crazy and ADD, so it's emergency medicine for me. Good thing that's what I wanted to do all along!
 
I learned alot about myself, according to my top choices, I am afraid of the dark and one Crazy A**hole. I guess I have Gunner like tendencies
 
Why are people who want to do psychiatry or EM considered insane?
 
If you go over to the SDN specialty forums, I've read you mostly look at diseased vaginas. And that's not cool at all.

Pretty much. You're seeing everything that could possibly go wrong with something you're supposed to be attracted to. Probably enough to scare you away from sex for life.

Yet another reason for men not to do OB/GYN...

Perhaps I'm overanalyzing, but how do you know whether or not you're sane? 🙂

Depending upon which I am, apparently I should do psych or radiology. I guess I do like pretty pictures.
 
No matter how many times I do this... I always conclude at emergency medicine. @_@
 
Wait, how are derm and ophthalmology not hardworking?? being one of most competitive fields

They are hard to get into, but once you get into them, they are not as stressful as other specialties can be. They are both included in the R.O.A.D lifestyle specialties.

that's radiology, ophthalmology, anesthesiology, and derm ?
 
This chart is NOT REAL for those of you deciding your futures on its pixelated values.

Also I love Liverpool, but if we don't step up, Chelsea is going to win the EPL and Champions League, and I HATE Chelsea, so I think this win will help them out.
