Can we get questioned on the fact that why r u pursuing surgery in pak if you are applying for IM match here? Do you guys know good amount of ppls who did it and matched?? Im planing to start fcps in surgery meanwhile I wanna pursue mle pathway abroad. Im not really passionate about either med or surgery, can do any.

I am going through a very tense situation and I would really appreciate some advice or suggestions. So the thing is i will be completing my HJ on 15th may and I was planning to give july attempt of FCPS part 1 but I was not able to decide speciality at all as I have no specific interest despite thinking alot about this...so after some brainstorming and research I decided to go for cardiology and give my part 1 in med and allied as it has intervention along with medicine. But yesterday a senior give me reality check which I kind of agree with that how cardiology is such a long route and and hectic with alot of uncertainty in Pak and its a better choice to go for surgery if staying in Pak, I got really confused since then and thinking of withdrawing from part 1 exam for now and take some time to decide and then give exam also two months are less but I could have done it if I was damn sure about it. But withdrawing will cost me 9k loss and what if after taking time again I end up taking same decisions. Should i take time and bear this loss of 9k, or give it anyway despite being unsure about the speciality?
Also as Im a first generation doctor, Im trying my best to take a decision which I wont regret later in life.
