1) Anaesthetics
2)Emergency Medicine
3)Paediatrics
All for very different reasons.

fighting chance of getting in to one or more of those specialities as anaesthesia and EM in particular are still growing ... and if the NHS decides to expand funded pre-hospital Doctor coverage it'll be EM and gas passers doing it ... and as Dig mentions retrieval services are also something which are now being funded more and more - again a gas passer heavy service
in terms of work life balance i think that in the future EM and Anaesthetics Docs even at consultant level will live the 'shift worker' lifestyle that Nurses etc , where unsocial hours etc is countered by stints of days off becasue you work your weekly hours in 3 or 4 days or approx 12 hour shifts

Probably a good thing really, there's loads of them compared to other hospital specialties.
Still only first year at sixth form right now, but right now it's:
Obviously that's likely to change in the future though, although I have always rather liked the idea of pathology so that's likely to stick
•
pathology
•
cardiology
•
neurology

Something within the ACCS, but beyond that I can't really say.

This post makes me incredibly happy. I think I would much prefer working in shifts (I work 50 hrs a week in shifts as it is), and having time off to pursue other things. I'm quite interesting in some research too- which I think in Anesthetics is possible anyway.
Well hopefully.

Ortho. If that doesn't work out, forensic psychiatry.
What is forensic psychiatry?
When I was younger I was obsessed with forensic pathology.

I think that forensic psychiatry looks really interesting (I like the sound of psychiatry in general) especially and if I hadn't decided to apply for medicine for 2012 entry then I probably would've applied for Forensic Chemistry. The only thing that would worry me is that would it not be scary knowing that you are treating criminals who could be rapists or murderers?
Anyway, my top 3 right now (although I'm only an applicant-to-be) are:
- Psychiatry
- Paediatrics
- O&G or Oncology or GP (I can't pick between the last 3)
Emergency medicine looks really good too!
