I have an interest in primary care. Recently, I was talking with a couple of my resident friends and when i told them I was considering internal med, they started laughing and told me I should consider changing my mind. Is there not a good balance of lifestyle, residency rigor, salary, and satisfaction in primary care?
I've also noticed that primary care gets "picked on" a lot. Why is this? Are their residencies 'worse' than say a surgery residency? Why do people make fun of primary care aspirations?
(I usually ignore their hate, but I'm curious as to why this hate is so prevalent)
