Veeky Forums Medical specialties and careers in general

Which medical specialty do you consider to be the most Veeky Forums one, bros? I'm going to have to choose one very soon and I was thinking about orthopedics and traumatology but I would like to hear your opinion.
Also what do you consider to be the most Veeky Forums professions in general.

>Physical therapist

CRNA (Nurse Anesthetist)

Go to nursing school (2 year program is fast) and work while you finish your BSN. By the time you finish your BSN, you will have enough experience to apply to CRNA school. Programs vary in length, ranging 2-4 years.
Salary is $150,000 starting. Average range is 140,000-200,000.

pic related is you? what's up Mike.

I already finished medical school, so mostly I'm interested in medical specialties, those are some p. good suggestions, though. I never knew nurses could make that much.

>finished med school
>no speciality

?

Normally people decide in their 3rd year. Are you frauding here :)?

General medic reporting.

Half the male nurses I know are fags.
One male nurse was dating a female surgeon, i had sex with her, i dont think he knows he got cucked.

Feels bad, i want her in my life.

I'm not from the US, we have a 5 year med school preparation and graduate as a general medic, then you can take a test sort of like the STEPS where you choose the specialty in which you want to make your residence.

Not on the US but yeah orthopedic surgeons usually fall into the fit stereotype

Actually considered choosing it, I am by no means fit but then I did a complete 180 and went with ophthalmology

I feel you bro, in the hospital where i'm making my internship everybody has fucked everybody. I truly believe that the medical field is filled with the most promiscuous people out there.

Nice, where I'm from ophtalmologists are the highest paid doctors, congrats bro.

Curious as to where you are
Sure there's money to be made on a private practice but the cost to start one on equipment is also high. I mainly choose it for the relative stress free weekly workload.

Can't have gains if I'm stuck doing ER night shifts as a general surgeon or internal medicine doc

You got two years yo make gains during your internship and social service years.

From that point onward youll only be able to mantain them bro.

Yeah, I get what you mean, I'm always told to choose specialty based on stress load, how much I like it, and how much is it gonna pay.
I'm in Mexico, btw.

Really?

Most of the nursing staff at my hospital are fat as shit and the female doctors are foreign or old

4th year fag here. Going into peds, might do sports med fellowship after that. Christ I need to finish my ERAS.

Portugal here, might be similar on terms of payment per speciality

Ultimately you have to choose what you like the most if possible, and people from the outside don't seem to get it why we stress so much with the choice. It's what we'll do for most of our days so we have to like it. I still don't know if I'm going to absolutely love this, the surgery learning part scares the shit outta me
I hope my internship allows me to do weightlifting, also is 4 years so yeah I guess the first two I can get jacked I'll have to do my best to keep them gains

After them MILFs user? My sister started this year, best of luck to you, shits hard to treat babies who can't tell you what they complain of

Not Veeky Forums related

Yeah they took the & Health part from Veeky Forums but then again

True, but once they're old enough to talk, interviewing them is usually pretty good. They tell you exactly what you ask, rather than what retarded old people do.

When did this start?
>young kid
>last night after I went to bed

When did this start?
>old cunt
>"well my sister's doctor lives in Murraytown, and he married a young teacher at the high school there. she couldn't conceive, so they ended up adopting a baby from china. his daddy was actually a doctor here years ago, and treated my momma when she almost died from pneumonia. so anyhow, my sister when to see her doctor, and he told her..."
>REEEEEEEEE

It's so hard to redirect these fucking old people without coming off as rude and pissing them off. Fuck I hate old people.

My mum in law is like your second example. I;m sorry, but she does this with EVERY question someone asks.

Yeah man, fuck me, they always diverge into the most retarded stories. I wish I could pretend like I care but if I'd listen to each and everyone of the old patients on the ward or ER I wouldn't treat shit

At least in ophthalmology they go with sort of specific problems...

Isn't the medical field a place where you trade all your time and an absent life for money and constant worry you will kill someone...?

Nah that's the residency... Your workload decreases quite a bit that you wonder where did all this free time came for... Unless you want to make loads of money and see your family every tree weeks.

Take the general doctor (err it's "family doc" here...he knows a bit of everything and it's a 9 to 5 job without working on the weekends

Nursing is the most degrading beta job

Yeah, I've been to some of those surgeries and they look hard as shit. In my experience you don't really have time to get swole during your internship, mainly because the shifts are crazy long and because you're not gonna be sleeping much so you won't grow as much.

Yeah, actually it gets kind of annoying because you can't have a normal convo with any female worker because they always end up getting flirty and shit. The sex is nice, though.

This is the time where I wish I didn't hoard and not organize a bunch of images. I had one that mentioned a study where your medical diagnosing fields tend to have the most fit of all the medical field. But, if you're sticking to one specifically, I would stick with physical therapist or a family physician.

Second year medical student here, I've been thinking of going into psychiatry for dem mental gains.

My program only takes 2 years for bsn, but crna programs in my area want 5 years in icu just fuck my shit up senpai

Oh boy, you're so clueless. Absolutely EVERY psychiatrist I know is crazy. They say so themselves, they say knowing so much about the human way of thinking fucks up their perception of the world.

Isn't that 10 years of your life to get there? Took me 5 years to be a Mechanical engineer and I can't imagine being in school that much with the stress that follows... I kinda feel like I have multitudes of other areas to focus on without needing to focus on just one thing.

I worked on creating a halloween props last year and I plan to do it again next year... I just feel I have more freedom.

Be sure to memorize the DSM-V word for word then.

Yes it is over here. 6 of med school plus 4 for specialization... And ophthalmology is on the 4 year group, most are 5 a couple of specialties are 6 years.

Sometimes I wonder if I'd been better off taking mechanical or electronic engineering mate, I'd be working a lot sooner... Only started getting paid this year lel

So they are redpilled?

And?

I'm an accountant, probably the least Veeky Forums profession. I actually take care of myself though. Some real fatties in my office though.

>sit on your ass for 8 hours a day 5 days a week
>from February to April sit on your ass 10+ hours a day 5 days a week plus 5-6 hours on Saturday

Good skills and the overtime is awesome though.

Not for CRNAs that do anesthesiology. Used to have anesthesiologists in each OR. They're now figuring out it's easier to pay a nurse with advanced training to do the intubation and induction and shit, and sit there and watch the monitors. You can pay a dozen of these to do the easy shit, then have one anesthesiologist supervising them, who actually steps in when shit hits the fan. Just like PAs and APNs are going to take over the majority of mundane outpatient care shit, but have supervising doctor step in when it turns out to be more than strep throat or otitis media.

It's a pretty easy gig that makes a lot of cash.

Desk jobs are a plague, you need mental "balls of steel" so you don't fall into a rut

keep telling yourself that m8, if you think nurses only run around to wipe asses you know nothing about the profession.

You will quickly learn that psych is mostly medication management for crazy cunts that aren't adherent. You get to see some interesting stuff with the crazies, but the bulk of what you do is play with antipsychotic dosing and shit.

physical therapy is definitely the most Veeky Forums, most of the people who go into the programs usually have sports related backgrounds and are less likely to be fat asses like those applying for occupational therapy.

just personal experience, PT assistant for the last 4 years here.

As a doctor, yes I do know
Stay beta, you're the maids of the med world

Does that include 4 years pre med and crossing your fingers you did well enough to get into med school?

Neuro resident here. All the guys in our program are jacked, and all the girls are hot and not weird at all. Totally not the norm for neurology, but I'm not complaining.

Being a lawyer is the most Veeky Forums job
You can fuck up and just appeal, therefore less stress and less cortisol translating into less time in a catabolic state
Most importantly you can call yourself a SWOLICITOR when you're swole enough
>inb4 britbongs tell me what exactly a solicitor is hurr durr

MD in horseshit more like kek

No mate, over here and most countries in Europe we don't have pre-med
We go straight from high school at 18 to med school (you have entrance exams and such) but then it takes 6 years to be a general doc plus 4-6 more to specialize

Neurology is fucking interesting but then again the wards is a vegetable patch

>PT assistant for the last 4 years here.
How's it feel getting people to do stupid shit rather than useful shit?

My cousin in the states took bio medical engineering and went to get a master's he later went to med school residency and finally became a ER doctor... He was 33 when he got there... He feels he wasted his life on school.

Combat Medic. Nothing to do in J-bad but lift: weights, and battle-buddies.
> implying blood-doping doesn't give you mad stamina

I know plenty of lawyers. Almost every single one of them are stressed out because they're constantly getting referrals and calls to represent drug addicts and have to deal with addicts trying to get off with their crimes when the police have lots of evidence against them. He'll tell them, "just plead down to a lesser charge and the most you'll get is a small fine and maybe at most community service." Nope, the addict never wants to do it and they usually get max which is usually 1 year in jail.

i work folk that just came out of the ICU and i can tell you its better they're doing stupid shit than no shit at all.

forget about transfers, most of them can't even move in bed.

It's not a bad job but the paperwork gets a bit much sometimes, i'm just bidding time to flush out my application for PT school.

Did you also have the forgiving grading scale too unlike the states.

I remember hearing about how 50% or higher is consdidered an A in Europe... The states is more 98% is A and F starts closer to 69% or lower.

Yeah it can be disheartening if you don't have people to go through all those years

Funny thing is some of my mates from med school are going to the same hospital so it can be fun.. Residency you already get paid so you just have to take it as being on a job... That requires you to know shit and study and whatnot, but still, you can squeeze in some personal time I think

getting EMT certified currently and going to try to get into firefighting. not smart enough to do med school

Remember, you're not there to get them off (n-no homo.) You're there to make sure they get to use all the defenses afforded to them by law to their fullest extent. Takes a lot of the pressure off.

Not really, it's graded from 0 to 20 so let's call it GPA for simplicity sake only those with a 18 and over can get in on about 1300 vacancies for the whole country each year

General or neuro surgery if you can handle the harsh residency. In reality don't let a bunch of pound of butter a day eating neckbeards online determine your medical career. I would personally choose psychiatry or derm although the latter is very competetive but lifestyle for both especially during residency are great.

They make their exams much harder. You are expected to get shit on. If you get most of them right, you really stand out. In the US, the exams are typically made so that you're expected to know all of it, and 90% is an A (usually).

It's not like they take piss easy tests and everybody gets an A/honors/high pass.

Hey OP is your name Michael? A friend of mine from high school is in medical school and he's pretty Veeky Forums, so I wonder if it might be you.

No this is Patrick.

Yeah, why the fuck is dermatology so appealing that it's always the first to get all the places filled... Shit seems boring on paper, I'd guess it's the lifestyle like you said

i'm a forensic investigator for an undisclosed state in the US. My boss is a medical examiner (forensic pathologist), and I myself want to be one, but its far from the most fit specialty. It's metal as fuck but most of the people in pathology are turboautists. I swear to go I don't think my supervising ME has made eye contact with me once. Great guy tho, smart as fuck.

Also curious as to why no one said plastic surgery, follow me on this one
>be plastic surgeon
>plant seeds of uncertainty on fellow gym mates and cardio bunnies
>make mad dosh from all the surgeries people decide to do

The gym seems like a perfect place to siphon in potential customers for a plastic surgery

I'd wager that's just pathologists in general, over here they're the same

yeah plastic surgery is incredibly lucrative but it's kind of the "sellout" specialty, if you get what I mean. Unless you do reconstructive surgery on people who have cleft mandibles, or repair people's faces with cancer and shit. That's more noble.

Despite how much money you make being a plastic surgeon in 90210 will get you looked down upon by your medical peers.

Entirely lifestyle, and some people just wanna get paid without having to deal with life or death issues, or call, or any of that stuff.

Wouldn't you just focus on 50% of the class and branch out on parts you feel confident on to push you over the edge? I'd also feel that since in states test and HW is being graded that if you don't follow a section very well and won't get the material in 2 chapters out of 20 you are still just barely passing...

No, you're thinking of CNAs.

Nah, they run around following doctors orders.
And sometimes orders from better payed nurses.
And patient orders.

But hey, their job is so hard and we all depend on them, except when the patient dies, totally gonna blame the doc for that.

Studying for residence exam next year, doing social service right now.

If i get into residence, i want something to do with surgery, either surgery, gynecology traumatology or ophtalmology.

I fucking hate diabeetus and his cousing hypertension.

get into bariatric surgery. you wont.

I disagree. People who don't work and live off the government are the real plague.

Thinking the poor somehow have the ability to impact your life is a plague in its self...

Corporate welfare is the actual problem... You thinking it's the poor who is at fault means you are falling for it.

getting fucked by a muscular hairry doctor during a check-up/appointment is literally my feitsh

Except most of the federal budget is benefits.

"Corporate Welfare" is a term used by morons who have no idea how the tax system works.

No, paying less tax is not equal to getting money from the government. No, the government collecting money isn't the problem, it's government spending. Go back to your soap box and vote Sanders you stupid red diaper doper baby.

Derm is pretty interesting to me. But the lifetstyle and pay is great, and it is arguably one of the lowest risk specialties.

Kill yourself

Enlighten us. What does corporate welfare actually mean.

You used it, that means you provide the definition. I merely stated it's a bullshit term, meaning it can't have a definition. Learn basic reading comprehension, comrade.

Corporate welfare totals 1.5 trillion annually from already profitable companies... Other welfare totals 100 billion annually...

Supply side economics has always been a scheme for morons... Try not to believe the B.S. that is sold to you.

Take a look at Kansas and defend supply side economics... Please try. It'll be hilarious.

Literally the gayest especiality

Working my way to finish my 4 year Bio degree and move onto postgrad college for medical. I live in Minnesota, so I have HUGE opportunities for medicine with the Mayo Healh system only a few hours drive away. Planning to go into specialists studies for surgery, but I've been wavering between that and just becoming a PA.

You are not a med student and you don't know the work dermatologists do. Shut the fuck up.

Hey could you tell me about Rochester? Is it a pretty good city to live in? And how is Mayo?

You're a generic premed fag

Rochester has gone down. Lots of Somalis have taken up residence there, and recently crime has gone up. I'd suggest live just outside of you can, otherwise live in the upper class areas. Mayo is very nice, especially if you plan on kids. Being a professional at Mayo entitles your children to paid college if they go into a medicine or health related field.

And? Gotta start somewhere friendo

Lol fag, im a 1st year residency surgeon.
Derms are fags.

My uncle is pretty damn Veeky Forums. He's a Diagnostic/Interventional Radiologist.

The people in hospitals that get the most exercise there are probably the food delivery people. They are there 8-12 hours a day, consistently working their ass off.

Fellow 68W here. Good luck with the rest of your deployment, bro.

I thought that was the head of a decapitated cat from the thumbnail

good luck EVER getting a job in North America

studies show its as high as 50% as in fucking your co-workers in health

And they forget to reply when you're talking to them, they talk/laugh to themselves ang generally have a very weird way of beahaving.

kekked

Oh yeah? I am a surgeon and a lawyer. I can make up things on the internet too.

I'm not trying to get a job in the US, but thanks bro.
