here is a comprehensive list of what you may choose to specialise in once you graduate from med school...i used to think that all doctors are GPs lol

you might consider OB/GY. Currently there's a workforce shortage and great pay!

anyways enjoy!!

i thought that too. to become a specialist, i thought you had to be a GP first

If I get too tired in a hospital atmosphere I'd go for general practice. It's so cushy, just see patients every day, go to seminars, get freebies from every drug company and their horse...

i still want max-fact surgy
or
anasthesia..

Psychiatry is looking less appealing by the week...but it still seems the best fit for me.

Anyway, best to keep an open mind until about 4th year.

My tutor outsources a company to do research into one's life income levels and compares them across industries and occupations. Suprisingly, the research indicated that a normal GP will earn more than a specialised doctor because of the fact that specialisations require time and effort to master. ie. your're effectively a noOb, so your income levels never match a normal GP in a lifetime. I find that kinda funny.

i find it amusing that theres all these 15 yr old boys out there that think being a gyno would be the most awesome job, do they not realise most women only visit gynos when they have problems with their bits?

thats BS...a GP could earn, say 100-200K a year after tax and insurance (one of the lowest insurance premiums of all specialties, also the lowest salary) after 4-5 years in college. A OBGY which is one of the highest paying would earn up to 500K after tax and insurance and 6-7 years in college. you do the maths

to be a GP takes lik 11-12 yrs
other specialties are only 14-15yrs so not much of a different
i agree with inasero

lolz@jess .. u think its just 15yr olds? trust me..
it aint
some med students still think that is tru.. .. .. "P

LoLz, another mathamatical problem.

I have no idea, that is why I referred to my tutor's research. You can call him up if you PM me.

I didn't think it was possible too, that is also why I referred to it.

But what you have said kinda scares me. $500K after tax? That's a dangerously high amount to give to any specialised doctor.


But did you take into account the premiums for a OBGY?


Lawyers can't get that type of money in Australia, not many anyway.

*cries*

haha you didnt read it properly...i said AFTER TAX AND INSURANCE

anyways, you know, its not about the money...really!!!

And it's not about the bits.

We must have seen a hundred bajingos today! Bajingo, bajingo, bajingo...

 

[kimmeh]

I wouldnt mind becoming a gyno. at least everyone will want to see me, not the male doctors

 

[Lexicographer]

I see a female doctor...

...and she's asian too!

 

[inasero]

haha well you seem to have a desire to be loved, which is perfectly acceptble! Most patients prefer to visit a female Gyno...the same way as most guys prefer to visit male urologists (though I've never figured out why there are more female urologists). In fact for other "non-intimate" consultations a female physician is preferred because women are perceived by the wider community to empathise more readily and more willing to discuss the patients concerns.

ahahah damn asians

of course! wilson is right! we females know how to symphathise more PLus lexi, i dont think being a psychiatrist would be effective for you. you'd prob pat the patient on their heads while their lying down half hysterical in their chairs

LoLz I agree. Although I would love to see a female urologist and see what they get up to.

 

[babydoll_]

i wouldn't mind being a gynaecologist or obstetrician

but i would LOVE to be an opthamologist

i think females are better for internal med.. cos.. if i saw a male urologist and something happens during the physical.. then im pretti worried for myself.. lots of questions..

OBGY hav one of the highest premiums tho..
not enuf females in this profession

personally i realli want to do surgery cos its lik a sport and skillful.. many hours of training for the 'big game'...

by Kimmeh :females know how to symphathise more

females may sympathise more but health professionals empathise.. ive learnt that it can be the cause of quite a few dropouts and mental breakdown in med cos we start seeing patients in 1st yr...

lol either way, male or female if 'something happens' you're going to be embarrassed but i guess more so with male haha
