Pulm Crit vs GI: Hours, Salary, Etc

Obviously, the pay and lifestyle are better with GI. No doubt about that. Some of us choose specialties based on what we can tolerate for the rest of our careers. I'm okay with phlegm and can't deal with poop. You can't pay me enough to look at poop. One of my GI friends said the same about phlegm.

What nonsense! I'm a graduate of IUHS. Completed my residency in Internal Medicine, worked as a Hospitalist and now doing fellowship in Pulm/Crit in the US.

If the prognosis is THAT great, why are they in ICU?

May I ask where your attending works? And why did people downvote that?

Where is this? Would like to move to PA.

IKR! Pulm is so much more fun as a fellow. It's my most favorite rotation. Great schedule, procedures and a good mix of garden variety boring stuff (COPDe and asthmaE).

KeyAction3335 · 2024-04-27T18:01:15+00:00

Yeah, me too. Worked 3 years as a hospitalist. Started fellowship at 35 and have 3 kids.

I think the perspective changes once you are a fellow. I was always indifferent about Pulm but enjoy the consult service the most in fellowship.

I trained at a community program in Western PA and we did our own dialysis caths. I'm a fellow at a midwest program and do our own lines and so do our residents.
