I am about halfway through third year of medical school, and I'm struggling with picking a specialty. I was wondering if anyone was having a similar experience. I came into medical school with this expectation of doing surgery, and infact, I do really like surgery/the OR. I've always liked building things/working with my hands.
However, more and more I find myself leaning away from it and towards medicine (which I loved-to the point of actually being depressed when it was over). I'm sure that this was largely related to team makeup, but nevertheless, I definitely like medicine.
Do any of you feel like you are giving up on your "dream"? Have you deviated wildly from your original thoughts about what you wanted to do?
Appreciate the input.
