I've made a habit out of asking the doctors that I work with "Would you do it over again, if you had to?" I have about a 60% "Hell no" response rate. And, only about a 5-10%, "Yeah, I love what I do" response rate.
Especially nephrology. That's a brutal specialty. You watch most of your patients slowly die over 5 or 10 years while they are linked to a dialysis machine 3 times a week. The happy stories in nephrology are the people who get kidney transplants, but then you're only trading one disease for another: kidney failure for chronic immuno-suppression.
Congrats, on making it out! And, here's wishing the best for ya.
