I told Tony that he should journal after each rotation so he can look back at all the pro's and cons. I don't know if he'll actually do it, but I thought I'd write down some of my thoughts....
after all, one of these will be the career path he chooses!
Emergency Medicine:
TULSA!!!!!! <--- Need I say anything more?!?
I think EM was a great learning and growing experience for him. He had lots of experience stitching people, helping with procedures, and truly growing as a doctor and learning.
Pro: lots of different stories, different people, and only 8 hour shifts. Cons: some stories are absolutely heartbreaking, some patients are awful, it's high stress, and the shifts are all over the place (so glad E and I could be with family during overnight shifts).
Do I think this will be his career?
No. I think he will probably moonlight in an ER, but I don't think this would be a very good full-time career.
Now for Christmas break!!! (VERY GOOD THING.)
Then we move into Surgery. (VERY BAD THING.)
