On one hand i feel like solving "puzzles", making me interested in fields like IM, endo, and neuro. On the other hand i like working with my hands. Is there any field that does both? I guess it would be anesthesia or critical care? What do you think?
It depends on the extent to which you like doing both as most specialties involve a mix of things. You get exposure to smaller and less invasive procedures as a family med or internal med doc (especially if you subspecialize), while still getting to think. If you like all that plus thinking fast on your feet then EM would work. Even fields like general surgery, which are known to be more hands on/procedural, can have a decent amount of thinking when you’re on the hospital side or even in clinic. If you haven’t had clinicals yet that would be a good place to be exposed if you’re a med student, but I always recommend shadowing to really figure out if the specifics of each specialty vibe with you.
Adnan A yea I’m a med student, but an IMG so my options are kinda limited in the States. Covid messed with my rotations and I didn’t get the best clinical exposure this year. I think you’re right though, i should try to shadow some docs, that might help. Thanks for the help!
Sorry to hear about that. The covid situation has really made it difficult for a lot of students. I think shadowing would really help if you can snatch up a position somehow. You might have to reach out to a lot of docs. No problem, best of luck with whatever you go into!
Sounds like you do A lot of tele-medicine . Endocrinology allows you to follow patients for a long time. Problem so loving like working a puzzle. Each fellowship now works seamlessly human anatomy. Robotics. NAno therapy and immunoglobins Stem cells have changed how medicine is used. . Colleagues keeps the circle tight.

Continued medical education is on going . Sounds like you had your hands full raising a child while going through your fellowship. Blessings
True, especially in medicine the learning never ends. Yeah, I can’t imagine raising a child and doing fellowship- props to all who’ve done so!
I learned so much! Thank you! She is so cute!
Thanks for watching! She’s a great doc and person.
Wassup Adnan, I've been watching your videos for a while now. I was wondering, could you do an interview with a podiatrist?
Sup dude, I’ve been working on it- hopefully soon!
Sir I wanted to ask that does citizenship status matter in residency match and will be at power with local US students
I think what really matters is if you graduated from an American school or not (whether you count as an American grad or an IMG)
