Mini epiphany about work

I’ve realized that the most fulfilling work one can do is work in which you get to invest your own creativity and personality. Work in which one’s own ideas, skills or emotions are invested is the most fulfilling and rewarding. The example that I recall ironically is in the one summer in med school when I did business stuff and came up with a research project and presentation on Asian investment opportunities for J&J which was both personal and creative for me. Similarly, is there a field in medicine where one really adds creative energy instead of just following the care maps? Interestingly enough, primary care, psychiatry and plastic surgery are the areas where I’ve seen the most of that rather than the excitement and “life saving” fields like Emergency medicine, critical care or trauma surgery.
