Talking about of specializations, what I have in mind right now is infectious diseases, pediatrics, surgery, or oncology (but oncology is a subspecialization pa pala, hehehe...). . . Anyway, I saw a post from a friend who took a test from http://www.med-ed.virginia.edu/specialties/
Being curious about this... I also tried my luck. . . And behold my test result. . .

So. . . Infectious Disease na? Hahaha... I think I'll cross the bridge when I get there... The bridge is still under construction and I have a long way to travel before I reach there, ayt?
Can somebody tell me what Nuclear Medicine is? In layman's term lang ha. Pasok pa pala sa top 3 ang surgery... Thoracic Surgery pa talaga! Hahaha... The thorax is actually fun. And I really can't forget it especially that we have spent almost the whole first semester of Gross Anatomy just studying it. Allergy and Immunology? Hmmm... Not bad... Pero Anesthesiology and Dermatology? It never has gotten in my mind. . . D ko lang siguro feel... Orthopedic Surgery? Sounds like a guy thing to me... Sounds lang ha... Not being sexist here... Ophthalmology? Lots of money daw yan pero ayaw ko eh. Pediatrics? I can think about it... O ayan! Pinaabot ko lang sa Pediatrics ang discussion ko... Malayo kasi masyado ang Onco. . . Nasa #34 pa... Yung after naman sa Pediatrics. . . Pathology? Hahaha... Doesn't sound good to my ears. . .
Well. . . I have to work on for my Doctor of Medicine for the next four/five years before I have to spend much time thinking about this... ^o~
