I'm almost done with my intern year in gas and I think I made the wrong decision. I got to rotate in EM and I actually enjoyed it more. I think this is mainly pertaining to the fact that I had to show up for 16 shifts in the month vs every day with exception to two weekends during my anesthesia months. I see horror stories about anesthesia reimbursements dwindling including job opportunities (my faculty encourages everyone to get a fellowship to even land a decent job). The only reason I did not pursue EM as a med student was because I saw how a lot of my EM attendings were unhappy and kept mentioning that they hated their lives (had to do with annoying patients and consulted physicians). After my 6th day in OR running around like crazy , I learned that at the end of residency I'm gonna have to find a job which will pay somewhat decent only if I continue to work as a resident with frequent call and weekends. I think I give up. I miss my family, I miss having some days off and I really miss diagnosing and treating. Is transferring to an EM residency worth it?
