Do you say...
Doctor?
Resident?
Studying medicine?
Work in a hospital?
Lie and say that you work at an advertising agency to avoid the 15 minutes where you waste time explaining what a residency is ?
How does your usual conversation with someone with a normal job go?
have you had the experience of people asking you "what specialty" and reacting with more or less excitement depending on what you say? I've heard surgeons get starry eyes, psychiatrist gets silence and then an awkward joke, neuro-anything gets "wow you're so smart" and internal medicine gets an 'Oh."
