My situation - I'm in a challenging very rigid program. I was going to apply for pain, my app almost finished, have been asking for letters with good success. Recently I asked the doc I worked with during pain rotation in my program for a letter. He said he would write for sports and spine fellowships when I requested pain and spine. I think this person specifically said that I should do spine/sports not pain as they did not know if I had the ability to do things like cervical procedures which I have never done. Given the limited opportunities for me to rotate elsewhere I may not be able to get a different letter from a pain doc. Do I apply w a letter saying that, or do I try to get a different doc, not pain associated to give me a good letter? I feel down that this person would do this although not surprised. He did a similar thing to a previous person in my program.
Is it worthless to apply?
