“Will you choose the same MIR major again?”

“Are you going back to study medicine?”. This is the question that the doctor asks through social networks to his colleagues, encouraging each of them to explain why, or if they can return, they will not change their profession but their specialty.

In fact, on that last question, there were many doctors who asserted that they “mis-chosen” them. “He would go back to study medicine, but he would change his major,” admitted one resident, acknowledging that his “second choice was urology” and that he should have “taken it.”

Yes, but a different specialty. My second choice was urology and I think I should have taken it.

I was right with medicine, but not with the specialty (family), otherwise I should have gone to another country (France, UK). I work in the field of occupational health and the conditions are good. I hope to have studied occupational medicine. If I had a son who studied medicine, I would encourage him to leave.
