What Specialization to Take?

**OTEP** · June 10th, 2005 12:34 AM

I'm just wondering out loud here. It's kind of a toss up between Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery vs. Emergency Medicine at the moment. Any inputs would be most welcome. I have around a year to decide on this pa naman.

Thanks.

ENT for me. when you get over with residency. you`re fed on having 24 to 48 hours on duties.

parang sis ko. give up na sa pagduduty. hahaha

**caloyski5** · June 10th, 2005 01:05 AM

yup, sis ko JI na, 36 hr duty. never ko na nakikitang gising sa bahay. hehe

sa head and neck surgery may scheduled procedures na..paminsan minsan siguro alanganing oras...

Yung dating president ng DC.org (tsikot handle: bulldog) is an Emergency Medicine consultant at SLMC. Actually sa kanya ko napulot ang idea since I love ER duties (nakikipagpalit pa ko tutal wala namang may gusto mag ER).

ENT naman, I also like the work lalo na kapag OPD and hindi siya ganun katoxic. Kaso parang walang ka-thrill thrill minsan. hehehe. Pero its a stable field.

If i was in your shoe - i would choose the one that i enjoy doing more and not just for the money...the thing is, a person will be more successful doing what he enjoys to do.

I do enjoy both. ENT and ER duty were my favorite days when I was a student. Kaya nga parang ang hirap mag-isip. hehehe.

Though sabi ng dad ko pwede naman ako mag-ENT then work the ER of a smaller hospital (which do not require that you have finished a residency in emergency medicine).

Salamat sa mga payo.

If you think you like both of them..then go to something that you can grow, personally and professionally.
