Neurosurgery or Seeing patients?

After two days of observing in both the OR and the outpatient clinic at Chang Gung Hospital in Linkou, I think I have a better idea of what area of medicine I want to pursue. Between spending 3-4 hours
operating on a immobilized BODY that is barely breathing versus seeing and interacting with a living breathing PERSON with real economic, social and medical problems, I prefer the latter. It seems more real to me somehow. The problems and the human contact are aspects of medicine that I like more. Perhaps some area of medicine in which I see patients most of the time and spent 1/4 or 1/5 of my time on procedures may also be good.
