Solving the career dilemma
An epiphany just dawned on me a couple of days ago.The solution to an age-old question revealed itself suddenly.
I've been pondering hard about this question recently too.
And receiving the letter for cluster confirmation made me think about it harder.
Which broad specialty should I go into? AKA Surgical or Medical or Public Health?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The answer to that question lies in how you think about this event.
Imagine the event of a chicken crossing the road.
Now, what is the first question that comes to your mind?
1) Why did the chicken cross the road?
2) How did the chicken get across the road?
3) Why in the world am I reading this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are (1), you are probably Medical. You want to know the etiology and treat the root cause.
If you are (2), you are Surgical. You don't care why. You just want to know how to do it so that you can just do it.
If you are (3), you are meant for Public Health. You are realistic enough to know that there are better things to do in life than devoting your whole life to Medicine.

Haha.. Maybe i am 2 and a half, but still decided for type 3.. Hey bro, many MOs have told me that after getting past HO it will be easier. Jiayou and fulfil your dream to do ortho!
The problem is I realised I'm type 1!
Haiz, maybe i'm destined to be medical, i cannot stand how ortho treats their patients.
