I was always thinking FM. I think I fit in well with the FM culture. However I don't like peds, OBGYN, and the pathology seemed too simple for me. I like solving difficult cases and doing big workups. I'm a big picture type of guy and not super detail oriented. I'm worried this could cause me problems in IM. I don't want to be seen as the dumb resident because I often struggle remembering small details. I also have 3 small kids and I'm trying to leave a very strict religion (cult). My wife still believes in said religion so family life has been very stressful. Do you think an IM residency would be too stressful and tear my family apart? Maybe a FM residency would be less stressful?
