Kinda curious, who wants to share?

EM for me

 

[astrocreep96]

Orthopaedic surgery. It's too much fun not to go into. Plus, as a past physics major, I find the inherent biomechanics emphasis intellectually satisfying; I've never had that in a job before.

 

[DrMattOglesby]

Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

caveat: have only completed family medicine and some of Ob/Gyn so far

 

[MilkmanAl]

Table mechanics.

 

[coldweatherblue]

EM.

agreed, it's cool to see what everyone is going into.

 

[Rollo]

General Surgery

 

[winkleweizen]

em most likely

 

[coldleg]

Diabetic Surgery (vasc)

 

[SlickNickMD]

Orthopedic surgery or Radiology (Interventional or Diagnostic)


Open to:
Urology
Rad Onc but I don't have any research and they require like 10 pubs
Anes

This is quite the spread my friend.

 

[Bacchus]

IM or FM

Possibly anesthesia but dislike the short-length of the physician-pt relationship; however, the money makes up for that 😉.

 

[username456789]

Derm.

 

[SB100]

Peds, specifically neonatology or pediatric critical care.

 

[DrDrToBe]

Neurosurgery...the brain completely fascinates me, the training not so much but I'll live 😀

 

[sylvanthus]

EM, debating EM/IM

 

[bleeker10]

Ortho in the Army

EM or Anesthesia... having trouble deciding haha. waiting until i do an EM elective at NYU Bellevue to decide...

 

[olemissbabydoc]

I have no idea 😉

(See avatar, sn, blog....)

Definite R/O's:
Internal Medicine - of any subspecialty. Not my thing.
Psych - Negative.

Possible R/I's:
OB/GYN, if for some reason I have a change of heart on peds...

 

[Rollo]

Not many surgeons in this group...

Gen Surg for me! 🙂

(and if I'm not too tired down the road...Pedi Surg!)

Finally!!

I don't actually mind retracting for hours because things going in the surgical field are way more interesting than any cramp or slight backache I might be feeling!

I love it all: patient inteaction, not too much patient interaction, countless hours of tedious perfecting of wherever-the-heck-you-are intra-abdominally, running traumas, running small bowel in search of a perf, everything scrubbed clean, ICU patient f/u's, emergent surg consults all over the hospital, laparoscopic anything, challenging you body beyond what you thought it could handle.... I love it!😀

DANG IT....I'm stuck in Fam Med right now and you just got me GOING!😉

 

[bawer234]

Anesthesia

 

[DocEspana]

It's looking like Urology, Ophtho or Anesthesia for me; probably in that order of preference

You pretty much described day in life of a surgeon as wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am!

Hope you aren't that much of a heartbreaker. 😉

Same. Leaning Anesthesia > EM after an amazing elective rotation. I'll be happy in either.

 

[Funky]

I'm going into....your mom
🙂

 

[wannabeOBGYN]

Obstetrics & gynecology. Big shocker, based on the username, I know.

Haha, not at all! I really enjoy the pace of it, that's all. I'm an old Pedi-ICU nurse, so the runnin' is my norm 😉

BTW, my hubby is an anesthesiologist, so I'm quite sympathetic to that field as well. I really hope to bring better communication btw the two (surgery and anesthesia). I saw an unfortunate amount of god-complex issues in the OR, but my way of thinking is--BOTH physicians are crucial to the case, so why not get along? 😀 (yes, I'm still quite idealistic!)

Probably Radiology at this point. I loved surgery, but I also know that I loved it because I got to do lots of fun stuff and didn't have bad hours. If I still have the procedure bug, I will go the interventional route which is basically becoming a surgical subspecialty anyway.

peds in da house! hopefully peds cards.

Peds clinic made me want to kill myself.

Super cute babies, but the 9-18 month olds would scream and literally piss their pants (girls and boys alike) when I used the otoscope on them. Yes, I know about stranger anxiety, but STILL, grow some ****in' balls kid! You're small and fragile, you don't want to annoy some strong grown up who might throw you off a 10th story ledge.

**** yo' heart disease, kid! And **** yo' couch!
