Reasons why I'm thinking of going into anes of V. Luna:
1. Because it's like intra operative I'm but with shorter duration
2. Because it's not as toxic or as on call as other subspecs with patient interaction
3. The training has q4days for duty, meaning I only get to go on duty 1-2x a week! (iyon talaga e, baka pwede pang umakyat ng bundok hehe)
4. The location is near
5. The pay is good for a residency program
6. Because I don't have to spread myself thin over the number of patients and can better give patient care
7. Only 3 years to finish and I'm already a consultant
8. I get to work while seating in an aircon room
9. I still get to see surgeries
10. I like doing skills
11. My favorite subject in med school is physiology and pharmacology
12. I may only need to work several times a week haha
13. I don't have to be empathic or sympathetic haha
Disadvantages
1. No long term follow up- may actually be a good thing esp for those patients na pasaway!
2. Dependent on other subspecs to have work
3. Dependent on a hospital to work
4. Required 1 yr service in a government hospital after training
Though I guess I could still practice as GP and put up my own clinic hehe it's just that I wouldn't be able to use my specialty to advantage
