If you HAD to choose a speciality RIGHT NOW, what would you choose?

pathologist, doing postmortems would be badass.

At this incredibly premature point in time, I'd say Neurosurgery is very interesting in terms of its content, although I haven't yet seen what the speciality is like in terms of working life.

Yeah, how cool!

i wonder if they know how boring post mortems can be!

PMs are, generally speaking, pretty awful in this country, the Europeans do it much better, particularly the Germans - they have much more histopath capability.

i think they're pretty chilled. patient's dead, less stress, responsibilities... now that's a more relaxed working life.

although I can see how the lifestyle (similar to the GP lifestyle?) appeals.

until you factor in the research and late emergency case aspect of the job anyway

Smells pretty bloody awful though.

At the moment, ITU sounds theoretically most attractive, but now I've worked in Paeds and know I could (hopefully) cope with it, I might say that. NB to those who said Paeds because they hate adults though - you still have to deal with adults, only these ones aren't sick, just mad at you...
