Coming Changes in Medicine - What do you think and will it affect your choices?
I agree with rob, it's quite a political topic for the postbac forum. That said, the coming health care reform and the issues it needs to address is one of the reasons I wish to pursue a career in medicine now. There are clearly a lot of issues that need to be addressed and fixed if the healthcare system is going to be sustainable.
I think the wages might be shifted across the different specialties so that more doctors have an incentive to go into primary care. I don't think that the amount of money that is put into the healthcare system is going to drop however.

Internal Medicine Subspecialties?
Go to the cheaper school unless it was so malignant you can't stand the thought of being there. With health care reform around the corner and student loans a HUGE deal these days, you want as little debt as possible.

Is military medicine really that bad?
Well that really was what I was trying to get at. So it isn't too horribly bad if you want a military career any way?

Can white people be healed by Native medicine?
Didn't a white man just post on a thread he's been "healed" by a medicine man. Can't remember who or what thread now, but it was recent.

Are You Even Happy With a Career in Medicine?
Many physicians don't realize this, but they have the potential to excel in many careers outside of the clinical world. Some have a strong business sense and they make excellent entrepreneurs. Others are very creative and are great at writing. Keep and open mind and explore "outside of the box" to maintain career satisfaction.
