Surgery

I liked Surgery a lot more than I was expecting to. And if it were not for the whole 80+ hour weeks for the next 5 years (7 or 8 if you specialize - that is 7-8 after you graduate med school) I would definitely consider it as a career. But I like other things outside of the hospital a little too much, I think something that gives me a little more latitude for hobbies and some semblance of a personal life might work out better for me in the long term. But surg has definitely made my short list of top choices.

In the resident resource room (break room), one of the surgeons had brought a laproscopic surgery trainer, it actually plugged in to the television and you could do small exercises and training using actual laproscopic instruments and a screen.
