currently really feeling the role of being a marvin kinnie.

Has anyone ever seen a physiatrist? My family doc referred me to one but the wait list is like 4-6 months long so I have to call to get on the cancellation list and I’m wondering if it’s worth it/I’ve never really heard of physiatry before so I’m wondering what they even do?

physical medicine & rehabilitation

pm&r, physiatry, whatever its called in english man idk lol. its an elective rotation here(i’ll admit, it’s a part of medicine that is quite rarely taught and learned about here)

imma go right to the point and say that this rotation gave me mad respect for my preceptor (one of the very few physiatrists around that has to handle multiple hospitals across multiple cities) and the specialty itself. this specialty thrives on making the patients happy, perhaps even happier than they could ever imagine. rehab is often overlooked but if u actually pay just a lil closer look its v easy to see how good rehab could actually save a patient's life instead of making them have piles of complications on complications from prolonged hospital stay and immobilization. (i personally used to be most interested in OB/GYN bcs i thought that was the specialty that makes patients the happiest, esp the OB part of it i suppose. i used to joke that the only specialties that get to attend to patients who are happy to see the doctors, greeted with smiles and excitement and all, are OB/GYN and psychiatry lol - but obviously these thoughts were all before i got to know physiatry)

so, (+) it's a v noble specialty that makes all their patients happier and deserves all the love. it's relatively low stress bcs no death is gonna be on their hands. theres a very low number of physiatrists where i live, so "competition" is less of a concern.

the (v personal) (-), however, is, despite my abundance of respect for it, i could just truly feel that its not for me. shadowing my preceptor for 4 weeks gave me a sense of "........is that it?" no i am not underestimating the scholarly span of this specialty. what i mean is the (relative) lack of variety in the work on the day-to-day basis. and honestly... it felt restricting to me. as in, from what i observed, my preceptor only handled consults and thats it. getting into physiatry means you'd barely ever be the main doctor that's in charge of the patient. and i dont feel like im gonna like that. i dont think i'd like to spend the rest of my life doing "just that" everyday. i feel like i wanna actually handle a patient and like actually get to know em and actually see their treatment through to the end. these are all v personal reasons that also exclude many other specialty choices for me.

SO! tl;dr: (+) very noble, makes everyone happy, changes lives in a unique way compared to most other specialties, relative less stress bcs no death is gonna be on your hand. (-) does not fit my personal preference.

i rate it a 7.5/10

What speciality you are mostly interested in ? Surgical or medical ?

Hey! I am looking at more medical specialties. I am not sure exactly what yet, but I am looking at child psychiatry, forensic pathology, or physiatry. Those are ones that I am very interested in and that work well schedule-wise with disabilities. So looking forward to getting to help others, especially given how much doctors have helped me. Physiatry may be the one that I am most excited about because it would allow me to help others in a way similar to the way that I have been helped.
