Hey everyone. Since I first started medical school I have been set on becoming a general surgeon due to the fact that all my mentors were nice, fun to hang out with, smart general surgeons. Its only recently that I have started to look at the field of urology and what it has to offer. For those of you who have definitely already chosen urology as a career, what were the main things that pointed you away from general surgery? Personally I am interested in gadgets, technology, patient interactions/relationships, and surgery. I"m not really sure whether that points me towards general surgery or urology and I don't do these rotations until January. I'm currently dong research related to kidney transplants, but its with a transplant (general) surgeon and not a urologist. I guess I just wanted to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
