I don't want to be a surgeon when I grow up. I thought I didn't like surgery because I just had a yucky core rotation, but I realized that I just don't like surgery that much. I don't dislike it, but I think you really have to love whatever specialty you choose. I don't love surgery. I can handle doing this for one more month, but that is about it. I am just not going to be a surgeon.
I saw a commercial for New York--Presbyterian Hospital. It was about a little girl who had a tumor in her belly the size of a baseball and how this surgeon took our her organs, removed the tumor, then put her organs back in. When I saw this commercial, I was reminded why I wanted to go to medical school in the first place: I want to cure cancer. Now, if I got to see this cool surgery that was described on this commercial, I'd probably love surgery. Actually, this commercial made me wonder why anyone would want to do anything but cure childhood cancer.
