If you weren’t an ophthalmologist…

Towards the end of my general surgical training rotation, I was choosing between ophthalmology and urology. I guess there are similarities between these two specialties – both are surgical specialties, with relatively more dramatic and appreciable surgical outcomes, and they both bring forth great satisfaction for both the patient and the surgeon. Eventually, I chose ophthalmology, partly because ophthalmology is even more technologically driven!
