Nope. At least not human medicine. I know veterinary medicine has it's own issues but I wish I had gone that direction. Or animal resuce.

Ditto, I should have been a vet! I didn't think most of my time would be doing paperwork and being in a non-procedure specialty means the pay is not so great either.

Of course. It has its pressures and drawbacks, such as high insurance premiums and regulations about just about everything, but it is still the field I have always wanted to spend my life in. I can't imagine being happy or fulfilled in any other profession.

I can’t imagine working at anything else, but it doesn’t mean that I would choose my medical specialties/subpsecialties again—or choose to work in a solo practice. Medicine has become too industrialized and the payers (insurers, government programs) just have too much power. Politics has ruined the art of medical practice, and patients are suffering for it.

It has provided a lot for me, but has also been a long, difficult road with no end in sight. The system has migrated away from patient centered care to a volume driven commercial entity.

No. Resounding no. With that I have worked in nursing & pharmacy fields prior to medicine. All has changed. We are just cogs in the corporate wheel. It has afforded me a lovely live style financially, but at the cost of my health and wellbeing. Hit my reset button I would have to go into non patient facing specialty (a whole other issue these days) or something else entirely.

It took a lot of personal sacrifices to make it to where I am in my career. It was a hard road at times, but I am proud of where I am. I wouldn't change it for the world. I get great personal satisfaction and feel I made the correct choice.

Well, I would have to say being a doctor hasn’t turned out the way I thought it would. I am not sure what else I would have done but if given the choice I think I would have explored a different career path

No. And certainly not primary care.
