Hi guys, iam a final year med student, I need a help deciding betw card/neuro
i have rotated in both here are my impressions
neuro cons for me
1) hate dealing with dementia patiens
2) don't feel comfortable w psychiatry as a subject and practice
3) have zero interest in psych,behav, sleep,headache
4) jobs almost neurohospitalist / outp neuro / peds ,very few jobs for interv neurology / neuro onco
5) INR has a practice scope limited to neurovascular dx ,unlike full range of structural heart manipulations (coronaries ,valves epicardial ablation, neochord , heart failure interventions ,devices implantation,pulmonary denervation , all pvd interventions)
6) i have enjoyed studying cardio as a subject much more , and almost all subspecialities read in it in my free time
pros
1) i like the complexity of neuroanatomy
2) have a huge interest in neuro oncology / ophtalmol / immuno , vascular neuro
3) neuro research is exploding and there are a lot of unmet clinical needs (thomas oxley endovascular bci , intra arterial biologic / chemo therapy for 1ry and recurrent brain tumors , endovascualr embolic hemispherectomy , gene therapies etc,) unlike cardio ( feel like has reached platue) and i want to be engaged in lab research in one of these topics .
