After I'm done with residency, I plan to work for 2-3 years. Then I plan to take a year off, work another 2-3 years, take another year off, and so forth. I want to enjoy life and do the things I never got to by taking breaks from my work and going to far-off, exotic places. Money is not important to me.
Which of the fields of medicine (i.e general surger, ER, IM, etc.) is most conducive to the doctor setting his hours and basically "stopping and going" in terms of when he/she wants to work?
For example, would being a general surgeon allow such a freedom of taking extended breaks of a year or 2? Since most general surgeons work in groups, the other members might not appreciate you leaving. And if you did leave for such a long time, would it be easy to hook up with another group?
What about ER? I hope you guys get the drift of my question...
