Today at my oral exams, an interesting interaction occurred. I was examined by two surgeons both of whom I've had some form of interaction with during my rotation. At the start of the exam, one of them asked me in what field of medicine I was interested. I'm not prone to lying for the sake of cozying up to someone so I stated the fact that I was undecided but was building an idea of what was important to me. One of those realizations was that I did not feel I would be up to the lifestyle of a surgeon. Hence I was thinking I'd end up in family medicine or pediatrics. Then the examination continued. I did fine in the exam and as I was shaking their hands in preparation to leave, the fellow who had asked me what I was interested in told me not to go into family medicine or pediatrics. "It would be a waste."

Thoughts? Wonders? Orders for McDonald's?* Leave them all here! The only request is that if you know me, no direct names of anyone we know please. I seem to gather from my years of research, aka reading of blogs, that naming people isn't necessarily safe. I do comment moderating so you won't see your comment up until the next day most likely.
*No promise on getting said order to you, just that you can leave your order here. =P
