I pretty much love path, but I absolutely hate studying the female reproductive tract. I just think it's really nasty and boring. :scared:😴I'm not sure why I'm so averse to it, but no matter how hard I try, I just don't like it. I guess that rules out ob/gyn :idea: anyone else have something that they just hate to study?
 
My least favorite is lung. I hate it, and I don't understand it. Next to that is probably neoplasia.

My favorite by far is endocrine (probably because it's so easy 🙂 )
 
When I first went through leukemias/lymphomas it seemed pretty overwhelming, until I realized that memorizing the most common ages and what an auer rod looks like will get you a pretty long way with these.
 
Glomerular diseases.

Leukemia is pretty easy. There are only 4 and they're conveniently distinguishable by age of the patient (kid ALL, middle-aged AML, older CML, real old CLL). On the other hand, getting down all the lymphomas and their various tumor markers was a little intimidating.

I'm with the OP. I disliked repro path the most.
 
i agree with nightowl...i really hate studying the female reproductive system
