Over the past few days many of the threads here have been all depressing, with people pointing out how ****ty everything is for us and how our personal, financial, and professional lives are all going down the toilet.
I was on the verge of getting depressed, when a light went on in my head and I said to myself,
"Well, at least I'm not a neurologist!"
Then I felt better.
I may see acute stroke in the ER, but at least I don't have to manage them on the floor for several days and see them back in clinic! And don't even get me started about incurable diseases like ALS or all the physically-well, disability-seeking malingerers that show up in neurology clinics (see the neurology forum for more if you're morbidly fascinated by this).
I'm curious about what it is you're glad you're not.
Which specialty would you least like to be? What are you most glad you didn't go into?
