Firstly, radiologists are diagnostic physicians of the utmost importance; how anybody can argue their utility and significance in modern medicine is beyond me.
Oddly enough, I am stuck between the two disparate fields---while I'm interested in the visceral rush of surgery I'm wondering if this will get old as the lifestyle/residency wears on me. In a more basic sense, there are times when I can't wrap my head around the idea of motor memory and manual labor for the rest of my life. Surgeons are very bright, no doubt about it, but are they utilizing their intellectual horsepower as they could in other fields? As you can tell, I'm on the radiology bandwagon for the moment... This is subject to change by tommorow.
