Um...if you've ever taken a Facebook quiz, you know how "eerily accurate" those are. Why would you think anything differently of this?

 

If you go into any other specialty besides what an online quiz with repeat options portended, I'll be shocked. I won't know what to believe in anymore...

Im the same as you with respect to family but oddly, while peds is low on my list i actually enjoy kids and helping them problem is you have to deal with their parents too and that's where i'd likely fail lol

Ugh, parents...tell me about it. How ARE we going to get away with not dealing with adults?

Parents and adults are two different things.

 

If you've ever had the privledge of coaching kids then you'll know what i mean :)

Haha, I worked at a summer camp for two years. The number of parents who just refused to believe that little Timmy was saying bad words or that little Tina is talking back and undermining you at every opportunity is just sad. Or that just because little Eric is taking a vacation from his ADHD medication doesn't mean I can devote all my lunch-time supervision to him and not 12 other kids...

 

I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to be a pediatrician or a full-on teacher

 

And yet I loved camp. Guess you'll love pediatrics too if that's what you hopefully end up in.

 

As for parents vs adults, I guess I still won't be able to deal with inane adults. Mr. "I stubbed my toe" in the E.R. will always be an annoying type to me (and I've seen this during volunteer work in the E.R)...

 

I come off sounding like Dr. Cox or House. I should stop.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Ok so maybe 'ewww' was just a tinyyyy bit dramatic ;)

 

But no. I honestly think I would hate hate hate pathology. It seems to be more 'thinking and testing' ....which I really dont see myself doing. AT. ALL. But of course I might end up changing my mind (though I doubt it).

 

LOL but seeing as I just said the above life is probably going to turn around and slap me in the face and I'll end up becoming a pathologist! ;) lol (if I'm lucky enough to get into medschool that is :P )
