Your decision should be made after you gain enough knowledge about the nature of the surgical specialty and the nature of a surgeon job. You can’t decide without knowledge.
There are surgeons, and there are other great doctors in other specialties. Choice is yours ?

Combining your skills whatever they are to represent eventually a successful surgeon is a thrilling thing about this specialty.
You study anything at anytime because it involves reviewing literally everything

The answer “yes “ has two parts to fulfill ; first you get an acceptable mark for G.S acceptance, SMLE is a good way to compensate for the lost marks in GPA .
Secondly you need to confirm that you are willing to pursue this and have yourself strongly believe in your ability !

You know about this more than I do, if I have to give one advice here it would be:
-Don’t post the name of a research that you haven’t ACTUALLY participated on.
-Try to aim for a high quality research,even if it takes years to achieve it,it’s worth it.this is how science changes.

You can combine any of these, you can combine trauma and vascular, vascular and transplant, laparoscopy and HB.
And this can be your gate to other subs ( pediatrics or plastic ) if you couldn’t get accepted directly.
There are endless fellowship chances after general surgery!

I spoke about this on a separate thread before in details , MBTI and you specialty ( you can look it up)

General surgery might give you a chance to improve many qualities or immature abilities you have due to the intense training or self-challenge attitude
E.g you can be very shy or lack the confidence to stand in front of an audience or to express your opinion:THIS WILL BE SOLVED!

A very interesting article tackling the evidence of how good surgeons are made, through inherited skills or extensive training.
Yes you can be an expert surgeon despite being clumsy back in high school. Practice Makes Perfect!

You should be familiar with our way of dealing with surgical patients, pre op , operation day , post op , quick decisions.
Make priorities when you have many orders , to avoid falling into the trap of mistakes which will make you “a stand up comedian “ at the closing round : )

Example:try to look for and take the tough difficult rotations that others don’t recommend or find them“ impossible to stand”.
Those rotations with tough people will make you stronger, expand your surgical comfort zone, and show you that “ magic “ where surgery becomes a habit!

We hardly have two similiar days in a raw , no matter what’s the surgical specialty , we have “ almost “ , the most interesting job on earth , next to drug dealers, possibly : ) .
If you do a mistake,whether clerking error,switching investigations,or even an intraoperative medium-magnitude slip of a hand,don’t stay depressed for the rest of the day.
Not because we care much about you not having a bad day, but because there is work that has to be done : )

Evidence based approach to pathologic traits among physicians :
Vascular are the worst

If you have to be a narcissist , be a healthy one :
Concentrate on point no. 2,narcissist don’t care if others succeed,they compare themselves only to themselves that’s why they don’t feel bad if everyone around is successful !
Don’t feel bad if your colleague has done great!

Relationships and Surgeons:
Yes it is not good, and yes think twice before your decisions.
It’s subjective largely , but it’s real that if our partner is outside the field; problems are doubled and tripled.
Balance can be achieved , sometimes!

Summing Up the Concept :
If it was easy then everyone else would’ve done this :
Fail , and fail again , until you pave your own road to the success you deserve, you success is proportional to your losses and periods of pain and sacrifices.
This world is full of great people : LEARN FROM THEM.

This thread is dedicated to an intern who was at the hospital today at 05:48 AM because she wanted to do so not because anyone asked her to.
It’s this attitude that will make great surgeons and leaders in general.
LEAVE NOTHING FOR OTHERS TO CRITICIZE: THIS IS THE WAY TO SHINE!
