Dude, what field are you in? Please let me know so I can avoid it!
Primary care is the devil. After barely surviving through it as a PGY-1, I knew I had to switch specialties. Hands down the worst year of my life. I would rather have sat in jail for a year with three hots and a cot.
Great website! What about Preventive Medicine? I’ve heard it’s a decent gig for those who are looking to “just get through a residency” without too much of a drain on oneself and a specialty a physician may come to find at least tolerable, if not happy with.
Preventive Medicine is definitely one of the more benign residencies. You can check out the SDN Forums and find out more there. If I am not mistaken, I believe you spend 1 of your years getting a masters.
Pathology is a pretty sweet gig too. No call, no emergencies, less stress. It’s not the ‘socially-awkward’ types that everyone thinks of in medical school (well, not all of them anyways). 🙂
what are you doing now?
why did you even get into (and not leave) medicine if you detest it so much?
Cant say I blame you. After being in Neurosurgery for 15 years and realizing that our system is about making patients annuities instead of getting them healthy it kind of wears you to a nub after a while.
Your blog gives me 10 more reasons to smile.
Have you considered alternative/holistic medicine? My PCM is an excellent medical doctor but he also is very knowledgable about holistic approaches to treating patients. He doesn’t accept any insurance but rather provides the paperwork for me to send to the insurance company to be reimbursed. I think working this way is way more low key and he attracts patients who are willing to take responsibility of their own health.
