1) typical lifestyle (hours, income, etc)

2) procedures that a pm doc does? is the trend going towards pm docs doing more minimally invasive surgical procedures?

3) are the slashes in insurance reimbursements going to affect pm docs more than other docs (ortho surgeons, etc).. i realize that doctors salaries are being cut across the board.

i'm waiting to stop by the interventional pain clinic after my medicine shelf but I just wanted to throw the post on the forum. I'm debating between surgery and anesthesia. i've got good board scores, published papers, presented @ national/international meetings, tons of extracirriculars... really i'm looking @ anesthesia @ UMiami, UCSD, UTSW, Columbia/Cornell, Harvard, UCLA, USC, Mayo Jacksonville... Pretty much the tropical vibe + NYC.

any info on these programs for anesthesia would be great as well
