To master in .. ?

I always see my self as a consultant. Not a surgeon.

I love medicine. I love paediatric too. Almost the same , only different is age group covered .

Paediatric covers 12 yrs old and below while medicine above 12 yrs old.

I still love medicine more. I feel it could benefit people around me.

and so one day, I was pondering about what to subspecialized in if I specialized in medicine.

I know it is too early to decide but I like to have some goals in life. Something to look forward to rather than stay in comfort plateau.

Medicine is so vast it covers almost the entire system. Heart, brain, eye, skin, lungs, gastrointestinal, kidneys , endocrine...

I have always always in love with cardiology. The Heart. It is too fascinating to learn about the electrical activity, physiology, the vessel territories, the disease etc2 .. I love

Suddenly one fine day, I had a chat with a friend. She asked - what do u wanna specialize in?
I answered -Cardio.

Her sister is a cardiologist in IJN. Very very busy. No time for family at all.

I had pins and needles since.

Last week I had a round with one of tHe specialist I adore. Had a small cHat wHile discussing case.

She asked me not to worry as I'll be exposed to so many during master programme and I will know what to do later. She said that cardiology is very very busy but very very nice .

She asked what kind of life do u want to have in future ? I told her, I want to have both. A time for family is for sure a want in my life.

Neurology ( the brain) or endocrine is a specialization that is very very nice to pursue in, and have time off from hospital too. No calls at night or during offdays/holidays like cardio.

Hhhhmmmm..

I have a heart for hearts but I need to open up to other system as my life may not cope well if I have too many hearts to handle. Sigh.

Hope isthikharah and tahajjud will lead me to a path that is a win win for family and carrier. and I think I'm starting to like neuro ;) I slamed neuroanatomy during my 1st year, who knows I was meant for neuro all along *winx*
