Most of the doctors I’ve met who have chosen such a route have done so not out of genuine interest (eg lifestyle, disenchAnted with hospital work, can’t get specialty training etc)

and then how many specialist u meet are genuinely interested in their field ?
I meet many cardio and oncologist who are v money focused. same as opthamologist.
others choose a speciality based on prestige.
your Geri , gen med , renal doc more often than not after Im residency dunno what to apply, then ok let's put Geri as second choice as backup becuase dermatology I likely cannot get in anyway.
Psy trainees many many is I dun want be gp but I need a speciality.
I be frank la.
I choose FM because I don't like hospital calls. I like my pat to walk in to see me and walk out after seeing me. sometimes at work I dun feel respected by patient becuase I'm like a referralogist. come on la, mild acne u want derm referral? ok lo.
