Murderer!

 

[Compass]

One that works for money.

 

[CrepesofWrath]

Any type of gunner or Slurper

 

[braintrust]

one that doesn't ever see his wife and children.

 

[ChiDoc27]

Television doctor...although the pay would be nice

 

[geogil]

Not a specialty per se... Are you never planning on doing a rectal exam? pretty hard to get through medical school with that goal

 

[PreMD86]

Excellent, You're hired! As soon as I open my practice, I'll compensate you with sunshine and puppies. Actual amount TBD.

anything in primary care

 

[87138]

Any way we can sticky this so that in 10 years all these posters can come back here and realize most of them have become everything they swore they wouldn't?

[Dazedinvt]

I don't want to go into bariatrics or emergency medicine.

 

[BRG253]

There is nothing wrong with working for money. It's only a problem if you cheat your patients, i.e. by performing unecessary proceedures to make a profit.

The kind of doctor I don't want to be is the intellectually complacent type who blindly accepts whatever he's told in medical school and overmedicates his patients.

 

[Livingapparatus]

no way am i ever going into pediatrics.

 

[Cegar]

Why not? Little kids are hot.

 

[iA-MD2013]

[Raryn]

I don't want to be a pediatrician or any sort of surgeon.

Eight year olds dude.

 

[shiftingmirage]

ortho. i don't like the sound of drilling into bone.

 

[Cegar]

Bahahaha.

 

[Innokus]

GI or Neurosurgery. I doubt I could stand the crap or the hours.

Also urology. A little disturbing in my opinion.

 

[batch5000]

Radiologist. i prefer to see and talk to patients in the flesh, not as imaged by a $100,000 machine.

 

[3 little birds]

Any type of gunner or Slurper

what is a slurper?

I don't want to be a mean or disillusioned doctor. Also it would be nice not to be poor.

 

[SaveThisLabRat]

A douche bag.

I want to be a sperm bucket.

 

[moe_4eva]

x2 for me.

+10

 

[Pedsbro]

I would never be a Gynecological oncologist...having worked in a path lab, I saw what they have to take out sometimes... Although I've heard from many doctors that they are some of the most skillled surgeons you'll find.

 

[paranoid_eyes]

anything in primary care

agreed

Can't handle more than one organ system?

 

[centersharpie]

probably a urologist... I can't stand the kidney...

 

[nu2004]

probably a urologist... I can't stand the kidney...

i don't get it

personally, i don't think i could handle peds. i need to at least have the illusion that my patients will comply with my recommendations.

 

[Wylde]

OBGYN or pediatrician (I hate kids)

 

[lisichka]

no peds, geriatrics... or anything in between for me

 

[Doublecortin]

Can't handle more than one organ system?

for me, depth is way more important than breadth

 

[TexasTriathlete]

Eight year olds dude.

What's a pederast, walter?

 

[aaj117]

i would never be able to go into OB/GYN. I'm already dreading the time there 3rd year. I can handle just about anything but childbirth. I've delivered babies on EMS jobs before and I personally don't believe that birth is natural. I think everyone who says it's beautiful is nuts.

 

[Climberak]

Derm.

 

[GoldShadow]

Any kind of surgery (I'm a thinker more than a cutter), pathology (live people > dead people), OB/GYN, and definitely not pediatrics... I'm not great with kids and I hate dealing with them.

 

[Calvengeance]

Why not? Little kids are hot.

XD, that's horrible.

 

[mdgator]

Derm, rads, optho, psych, gastroentero, OB/GYN

 

[Ella Shepherd]

pathologist, radiologist, anesthesiologist, ophthalmologist, urologist

All very important, but just not what I'd like to get into myself.

 

[ChubbyChaser]

I will never be a naturopathic doctor.

 

[nu2004]

I will never be a naturopathic doctor.

thread title says "physician"

NDs are "healers"

besides, with a name like "ChubbyChaser," we all know you're going to be a nephrologist or gastroenterologist

 

[centersharpie]

i don't get it

I have this weird thing with the kidney... it is the one organ system that I can't STAND, especially the histology of it and the circ. system. I HATE it. LOL.

sort of weird and funny. good luck with that

 

[WellWornLad]

psychiatry - I'm pretty sure I've already seen as far into the human psyche as I am willing to go.

 

[Dazedinvt]

kids smell better than adults. I think I might do peds but my dad is a pediatrician and I always said I would never go that route. Oh well.

burning man?

 

[ChubbyChaser]

Dr. Dre although it would be cool to be Dr. J

 

[WellWornLad]

No. Just an ill-fated ivory trading expedition up the Congo River...I don't really want to talk about it, actually...
