erm...which one suits u better? i dun have d answer now but there r lots of opinion regarding this...eg. 'kalo jd surgeon, nanti takde masa utk bende2 lain, trust me, nanti da takleh join imam, takleh njoy kat luar, utk family pon limited'.......'if u do like surgery, go on wif it...esp as a lady surgeon, msia now , we dun hv enuf lady surgeon, u know y?bcos not many girls like surgery, so if u do, go on wif it, y not?'........'org yg amik medicine ni family oriented la, tp surgery tak sgt la' huh...what a -ve opinion kan....there is still time for me to think bout that...leave that behind first...but now build up ur interest....

as i njoy suturing (thanks to simon for letting me close d wound), goin theatre, assist in operation(thanks to mr.wood for allowing me assist d open appendicectomy) , more or less i feel like i'm determined for surgery..but really i cant decide it...

here r some general info what a physician and surgeon do, dedicated to all medical student in dilemma like me....

Physicians and surgeons serve a fundamental role in our society and have an effect upon all our lives. They diagnose illnesses and prescribe and administer treatment for people suffering from injury or disease. Physicians examine patients, obtain medical histories, and order, perform, and interpret diagnostic tests. They counsel patients on diet, hygiene, and preventive health care.

Physicians work in one or more of several specialties, including, but not limited to, anesthesiology, family and general medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, and surgery.

Surgeons. Surgeons are physicians who specialize in the treatment of injury, disease, and deformity through operations. Using a variety of instruments, and with patients under general or local anesthesia, a surgeon corrects physical deformities, repairs bone and tissue after injuries, or performs preventive surgeries on patients with debilitating diseases or disorders. Although a large number perform general surgery, many surgeons choose to specialize in a specific area. One of the most prevalent specialties is orthopedic surgery: the treatment of the musculoskeletal system. Others include neurological surgery (treatment of the brain and nervous system), cardiovascular surgery, otolaryngology (treatment of the ear, nose, and throat), and plastic or reconstructive surgery. Like primary care and other specialist physicians, surgeons also examine patients, perform and interpret diagnostic tests, and counsel patients on preventive health care.
