"... according to that online aptitude test I took, Radiology is the most appropriate field of specialty for me."Me to Shaki, during lecture on Friday
"*points and laughs at k0k* Hahahahaha! Give me the web address for that test. I'm sure I'll get something better."Shaki
... and next day, about midnight...
"WTF, I got Radiology as my best choice too!"Shaki, over the phone
This is going to be a short post (but don't worry, I'll more than make up for it with my next one). On the buzz of a brief web wanderlust, I stumbled across this online Medical Specialty Aptitude Test in the University of Virginia's site.
I'm sure everyone who's in medical school now would already have a few possible specialties in mind that they would probably go for later in their practices. Of course, wanting something and being worthy of that thing are two completely different things. This test purportedly assesses the suitability of the temperament, attitude, and individual quirks of the candidate taking it, and provides a list of the most appropriate specialties for that person;

Radiology (I'll kill you if you laugh) is my top-ranker apparently, but Infectious Diseases and Urology comes in pretty high too; both I consider as über kewl speshulties mainly because they are Dr, Gregory House's (okay, okay, his was Infectious Diseases and Nephrology; I know the difference, dammit!). Incidentally, I scored lowest for Family Doctor (is this even a specialty?) and Paediatrics (I eat kids). I'm not much of people person and I bet the Aptitude Test smelled that a gigamile away - and decided I'm better off fiddling with X-rays, CT and MRI machines.
Bah.
Do post up your bests and worsts here after you have done it. Now that you know mine, it's only fair that you tell me yours too.

On a somewhat related note, check out this blog for Malaysian doctors and medical students which I found to be a rather engaging read (even if you aren't in the healthcare line);
Click me too!
I suspect that I discovered the link to the Medical Specialty Aptitude Test here but I can't really recall for sure.

On a totally unrelated note whatsoever, according to Nuffnang's stat-watzisname, you can apparently reach my blog on Google using the keywords; karnataka state girls showing their pussy.
Don't click me, please.
Last I checked, it was a page one hit.
Note to self: Must try to stop using the word 'pussy' in my posts.

I laughed so hard at the 'kartanaka blabla pussy'. I saw one linked to my blog by google searching 'girls who like peeing loudly' or something like that.
Anyway Radiology sucks. Go for something that earns crazy money. Like a neurologist or cardiologist.
LOL - I was about to suggest (tongue in cheek) that you go for paediatrics as your specialty =P
I had you pegged for surgery actually - you don't have to be a people person to do that. That's because your patients will be under the effects of anaesthetic (and considerably less annoying as a result).
ps: If family doctor = GP, then yes it's a specialty. Oz is desperate for GPs these days and when I say desperate, I do mean throwing-buckets-of-money-at-you desperate.
A friend's mom is earning 6 figures a year from practising as a GP.

@mischique
Maybe only radiology is what my minuscule brain can handle.
Why on earth would people wanna see girls peeing loudly? What kind of girls like peeing loudly anyway? So many questions (0_o)
@michellesy
Then I'm better off as an anaesthesiologist (which I scored pretty high for). Like I said, watching people sleep sounds like the sort of job for me.
P.S. apparently, it's a lot easier to reach my blog with 'pussy', go figure. most of the rest of the world use the 'sissy' spelling, methinks.
@innshan
I wanted med oncology but it wasn't in the list at all. but I'm terrible at comforting people anyway. I'll probably go "your lungs are shot. wanna donate a kidney while you're waiting to die?"
P.S. 'nasty' is right.
@zzzyun
keat seong once said he wanted to go into plastic surgery. he say "I wanna be an artist. I wan to create something beautiful out of something ugly".
do spread this test around. I dun have as many med skul student readers as you do.
@ling
I got patho and neuro quite high as well! but neither appeals to me.
@michelleg
I'm surprised you didn't score higher for family practice. obygn has longer working hours than the rest mae?
@dobbs
I did, that was how I discovered MMR :)
@baby sa
pussy? nothing really. I quite like the word. but I dun wan casual surfers to think there are really karnatake girl pussies here. XD
@everyone
considering the page views I got for this particular post, I'd expect more med students to tell me what they got T_T ... share-le
"Your lungs are shot. Wanna donate a kidney while you're waiting to die?"
AHAHAAHHHAHAHAH - that's very Dr House-ish. XD

Hey! You got nephrology! I wanted that! Hehe, I got kinda high for Patho too (tho frankly, I doubt I'll enjoy doing that much)

Petrology sounds damn cool too, but it turns out that its a study of some crappy stones.
