Excited to see another med journal popup, i'll try follow along! What are you planning to specialise in or any plans post-med school? :D

You sound exactly like one of my teachers from school; he just asked me the same question when I emailed him, haha. No idea so far, I've always been one of those people who is interested in everything. I guess I have time to decide.

I hope that imparts my apparent reservoir of wisdom as teachers often do ;) (jk, don't get at me if you are teacher reading this). But yeah you have heaps of time to decide! Do you read any medicine-related books?

I've read quite a few. I suppose Oliver Sacks' books are the more generic answer, but they are amazing and a real insight into a more human side of neurology. Henry Marsh's books on his life as a neurosurgeon are fascinating too, perhaps a bit more curmudgeonly but good reads nonetheless. I've just realized that this list makes me sound like I'm very interested in neuro as a specialty, haha, I promise I'm very very open to anything! And finally, personal preference (perhaps from spending my formative years watching a lot of British TV which is at least partially people complaining about things in a comedic fashion, if we're honest), I did enjoy Adam Kay's books on being a junior doctor in the UK, even if he did end up quitting the profession. They're quite humorously written and I think helped dissuade high school me from thinking that medicine was a purely enjoyable and 'dream' profession (bit of a reality check, if you will).
