Hello,
Applications are looming around the corner and I narrowed down my selection to the two choices. I enjoyed psych and internal med ward. I hate procedures and I'm quite introverted as a person. Money is not an issue for me, but time to be with family, sleep, lifestyle are high up there. So far, I have really enjoyed the intellectual stimulation from "outpatient" internal med and is the main reason why i came into medicine to be able to consult for family and friends when in need, but weary about the the burn out, stress, night shift, and possibly getting sued for my lack of attention to details. I feel like I might regret not going into something more rigorous later on in life. Psych on the other hand, was always fascinating to me, even in preclinical years. Loved studying the subject. I appreciate the significance of the mind's perspective and it's ties to our quality of life, especially bc I had to battle through my own share of demons.
Any input is appreciated! Thank you.
