However, I did not hate patient contact. I went to med school thinking I'd be a psychiatrist (which would be my #2 choice next to path). I was fortunate enough to really like histo/path slides a lot. Also I didn't find psych terribly intellectually stimulating, and treatment plans can be rather nebulous in Psychiatry. That said, people's bizarre delusions were fascinating, and it was my favorite MS3 rotation. I also considered Pediatrics, but the quality of life is terrible and also wasn't sure I could deal with the near sorority atmosphere of Peds housestaff. So I don't hate clinical medicine or patients at all--Just found Path to be a better fit for me. I understand why HalfMD would say this. However, I did not hate patient contact.
