Anyone switch to or from obgyn? Or other surgical
I’m in a non surgical residency and I am really struggling with feeling regret and wondering if I made the wrong choice. I really enjoyed obgyn in medical school but at the time I didn’t pursue it (or surgery in general) due to lifestyle and fear of toxicity (which I know is a generalization), I also probably lacked some confidence at the time too. However now, I constantly feel like I made a mistake. I will have a month or so where I’ll shake myself out of it and feel excited about pursuing a procedural fellowship (current plan), but then I always come back to this feeling where I feel like something is missing and when I see residents in surgical programs I feel envious. I’ve thought about other surgical specialties a lot but obgyn seems to be the one I come back to most, which I know would be rough on a whole different level. I feel frustrated too that we don’t get more gyn and procedure exposure in my program, which just makes these feelings worse. I honestly don’t know what to do, it’s been over a year of me having these feelings and thoughts back and forth, and so I am wondering if there is anyone who has made the switch (one way or the other) who could provide some insight and perspective that might be helpful for me.
