ASSUMING this isn’t a troll post....
What specifically do you not like about IM?
What sort of exposure have you had at this point? Med student rotations? I can certainly see as a med student rounding for 5 hours while a group waxes about a urine potassium value may not come across as representative of an exciting field but once you’re the one managing things just about any field in medicine is enjoyable to some degree.
You will have to deal with a good bit of IM (whatever that means) even in interventional, or EP. I’m EP and on a daily basis still adjusting BP meds, risk stratifying for procedures, counseling on weight loss, starting work ups of other medical conditions, etc....
Obviously once you get to the point of being in EP or interventional cards and out on your own you could choose to not do any of that and strictly deal with only a few direct EP or cath/coronary related issues but for most cardiologists i don’t think that approach serves them or heir patients well.
Yea there are a few instances where I am ok with that, say you’re an EP or IC who is expertly skilled at a very specific procedure.... Ex: epicardial brugada ablation, CTO PCI, etc... then yea you can be more of limited proceduralist with a very specific skill set and set just those patients. For the vast majority of us that’s not the case.
