Yeah I know optho is totally out of my reach. But I see how the appeal for both align. I liked that clinic primary care kinda vibe but not taking care of every problem and then procedural aspect.I enjoyed Ob/gyn but didn’t like the lifestyle and hours. So I chose the closest thing—ophthalmology.
That’s right, it’s not a typo. It’s the closest to Ob/gyn because you take care of all the medical AND surgical aspects of a particular system/anatomical area. No other field does that. There’s a division between medical/surgical care in virtually every other field. I do realize that a poor Step 1 makes it a difficult field to enter, but i gave you my reasoning for my comparison

ENT and urology would like a word.I enjoyed Ob/gyn but didn’t like the lifestyle and hours. So I chose the closest thing—ophthalmology.

The post I quoted was explaining why they chose ophtho despite liking OB.Not to mention optho and interventional cardiology....
you mean you didn't enjoy suturing for 20 minutes after every c-section?Love my OBGYN rotation, Im applying peds. I realized the thing I loved was delivering the babies, and the family relationships that were developed over a pregnancy. You get that more in peds. The clinic with pelvic exams bored me to be honest. And I only liked the OR if there was a baby, not the other procedures.
I actually remember being impressed that the residents had the patience to spend 30 minutes while I did the slowest subcuticular stich in history after a c-section.you mean you didn't enjoy suturing for 20 minutes after every c-section?
