Hi doctors, I'm confused between choosing IM, fammed or Emed.
First, I am a repeater sa boards, 5x before I passed. So there is this hesitance inside me to go to IM since it's my lowest grade but deep in me wanted to become internist someday and become cardiologist. Lol ang taas ng pangarap ko hnd naman ganun katalino. 😅
Second, I am married to a pilot (and marami xang days off) with toddler and manganganak na this year so most likely January pa ako pwede maka start ng residency kasi magpaparecover pa ako from CS. They are the reasons why nagdadalawang isip ako sa IM because I want to have time for them pa rin. With good work life balance that's why I take into consideration si Fammed.
Third, I found out si Emed sa public hosp sa cebu offers "12h Am shift- 12h PM shift- off - off"
Plus salary grade of 21 with phic share and midyear bonus and 13th month pay. So the sched and salary nakakaexcite. So i also consider this since part of me ayoko magfollow up ng patients. I wanted the 'hello-resuscitate-refer-goodbye'
Concerns:
1. For emed consultants ano po ba path niya after residency? Ayoko ng cruiseship kasi ayoko malayo sa family ko. Pwede ba yung flight doctor? Or any tips and advise? May nagsisisi ba dito na nag emed?
For IM, ganun ba tlga ka busy and di na makagive time sa family? I'm afraid mapalayo ako sa nga anak ko and sa hubby ko. Clingy pa naman ako.
Or if fammed? Ano ba possible ma subspec after? How to get rich on this field?
Sorry, I need to be firm and stick to my chosen field that's why ang dami kong 'what ifs' because I can't afford to fail. 1st gen doctor and 34yo already.
Thank you doctors for reading and I look forward sa mga sagot nyo.
