Interested in surgery but I can't get my hands to stop freaking shaking. Thus: I'm trying to keep an open mind.
Cardiology and EM seems like great alternatives.
Don't sweat the shaking too much, unless you discover it's a problem in the OR. Even then, there are more folks taking beta-blockers for this than you realize.
No, it just functions to decrease the tremor that is inherent in all people's hands to some degree without clouding your ability to think. It also tends to blunt the sympathetic response that tends to increase tremor when the adrenaline starts to flow.If one's required to take beta-blockers to stop the shaking, does that person necessarily have a serious neurological problem? Just curious.
Also, do you think all surgeons have perfectly still hands and fingers while they perform surgery or is it just an issue of getting experience/practice?...

yeah, they also say that the majority of college students change their major 3 times before graduating. i'm sure there are some of us (myself included) who ended up graduating in the major we decided upon in high school.
I'm sorry but a lot people seem to be saying that they're dead seat against ob/gyn. Why is that? (I'm just asking because that's one of the speciality that I would like to do. I've been fascinated with it since 7th grade so I was just wondering why everyone else doesn't like it)

Because people don't like getting sued. thanks to lawyers we probably will run out of ob/gyns in the future.
IMO let the nurses do that stuff
The lawyers don't drive this train, they are just a vehicle - Patients and their families are the ones who sue the doctors. And in OB/GYN expecially, the death or injury to a newborn tends to be enough for patients to cry foul (whether right or wrong) without any lawyer suggesting a suit.
Have you not seen those commercials where some greasy blood-sucking parasite that calls himself a lawyer basically begs people to come sue?
The fate of obg/yn as a specialty is already decided IMO, and that is where society will see the effects of this hostile legal atmosphere that doctors have to work with.
BTW your username makes me uncomfortable

There's a scut monkey cartoon that reveals the hidden agony of such a career move--for me atleast. For me I've ruled this field out before entering med school. Too much female hormones. You ever walk into an OB/GYN ward? You can smell the the estrogen. The nurses and the doctors and the patients all look the same...like new mommies. And they're not all happy about it--they kind of look at you a little vengefully...I don't know if its because I'm a man or what....In S.F. there's alot of lesbians in that field, which is cool but I don't want to the one idiot with a pair of nuts in an environment like that. And the father's walk around like whipped hounds...its all rather horrible really.
GENIUS!!!!
I would rather flip burgers than go into OB/GYN.
