No, not really. I don't know what you expect people to tell you. You want something like puzzles? Try dermatology You don't really like the outpatient character of derm? Try A&E Not keen on talking to patients? Histopathology is all about spotting things. Prefer children to adult? Any paeds speciality Want to also solve patients problems quickly? General surgery Decoding ECGs is your thing? Cardiology
There are endless options and if your only criteria is diagnosis you really haven't narrowed it down at all.

A&E doesn't really seem like something where you can sit down and think and work things out, like i said in the OP lol. seems a lot more fast-paced. looking for something where I can sit down, look at all the clues and come to a diagnosis. Want most of my job to be about diagnosis. Surgery is not about diagnosis either, that is the actual doing, the immediate fix, rather than sitting and thinking about what to do, surely.
the problem is neuro and derm ( especially) ( and others) are all so competitive. got to do lots of stuff throughout medical school dedicated to one to show my interest.
I'd say all the pathology specialties are very diagnosis oriented with some offering more scope for patient management and interaction than others e.g. haematology or immunology vs histopathology.
I think radiology is also up there and again has a reasonable amount of focused patient contact if that's what you're after.
Some general medical specialties do strike me as rather detective work-y too e.g. rheumatology or infectious diseases.

I like figuring out what is wrong, having a think. Like a detective, putting the puzzle pieces together.
I’d say neurosurgeon because they can plan and plan to figure out what’s wrong but once the skull cap is removed, the plan goes out the window because seeing the brain changes everything. It’s all about looking at the brain and figuring out how to fix it without damaging it. Like a huge puzzle. (That is if you wanna be seeing brains hahaah)
