In making the choice of a medical specialty to build my career, my methods reflect my personality. I've been analytical, philosophical, artistic, and emotional as I am trying to find a specialty that will fulfill me intellectually, evoke the emotions of excitement and anticipation in me, and provide me material from which to write and draw from. I want to find a specialty that will let me be myself, and that will let that self grow and evolve constantly. The answer I'm looking for is still evolving, and I'm not only extremely frustrated with but also enjoying the process.
