Favorite specialty and why?

[IsseyM]

Hello everyone! I was just wondering what your favorite specialty is and why? Also which is your least favorite specialty and why. I like general because you see a variety of things, i especially like big bowel cases. I know that may sound weird. I also like general because i like to do 4-7 short to medium length cases. I don't like being stuck in a room all day with one case. My least favorite is peds and vascular. I like kids but circulating cases with newborns and really sick kids make me extremely nervous since things can go bad really fast. Vascular somewhat nervous because seems like most of our vascular patients are so sick and they're always coding. Some of it has to do with me being inexperienced and feeling uncomfortable circulating those type of cases. I'm not familiar with all specialties yet. I do think general will continue to be my favorite though. Can't wait to hear your responses!

Being good at hearts covers a lot of territory. To be great, you need to be comfortable with electrocardiology, pharmacology as well as good with lots of equipment prep. Hearts may be "routine" but it's that routine that keeps you out of trouble. I'd feel comfortable with you in my room.
