I find the timestamps very useful, thank you.

[TickleMeElmo]

Thanks for this, Adnan! I'm looking at medicine as a possible career switch from social work, and was learning about each speciality. Given my working background and my own interests, I thought that either FM or CAP psychiatry would best suit me, but once I learned about the subspecialty of palliative care my mind slowly added that to the list of possible specialties if I ever were to become a physician and found myself as an M4. From the outside perspective, it's a strange mixture of social work, psychiatry and primary care - a bit of each here and there - all rolled into one.

And congrats on graduating from medical school!

This is my future specialty. You get a great variety of patients and the working hours are great. I also love the subject matter. You get to look the human body as a whole!

Making your own hours sounds fun, but not 100 calls an hour or w/e it was.
