I matched to Pulm/crit fellowship to start in 2023. Currently working as a nocturnist at a big academic center. It's not necessarily a bad thing that CCM docs are glorified hospitalists. It was very hard for me to choose a subspecialty given how much I enjoy the general pathology of IM and not being restricted to a certain system. That is exactly why I chose Pulm/crit since it's still treating the whole body. This whole thread was very entertaining to read but I don't really understand the point of it. People choose whichever specialty they like. Money is important, but not the final deciding factor. If money is so important, why doesn't everyone want to be a Gastroenterologist? Not everyone enjoys looking at poop all the time regardless of how much it pays.You can say that since you are hemonc, but CCM docs are glorified hospitalists with more added stress.
