Career questions tagged general-surgery
Would it be wise, and what would be the best route to take if I am interested in pursuing a career in both aviation and medicine (possibly surgery), not to work in the USA alone, but to expand overseas and use as a mission endeavor?
I don't know if it is possible to blend the two, as they are both quite opposite on the career ladder. If it is, what do you see as being the pros and cons of trying to accomplish both, or just one or the other? Do you think it would be feasible to meld the two? I don't want to be another mediocre leaf on the tree. I want to make a difference in the world. Experience relating to each field and what challenges y'all face in day-to-day life would also be appreciated.

Recently, I've been intrigued by a fascinating and controversial career: plastic/reconstructive surgeon.
