why i chose dermatology

I briefly discussed a few of the factors that went into my decision to apply to dermatology residency in the how to chose a medical specialty post (and the price of it all in this and this post), but I intentionally kept it short and vague.

Instead, I encouraged you to reflect internally on who you are, who you want to be, and what you want to do everyday with your life.

I came across these clips on youtube, and couldn't stop laughing. Dermatology residency is actually very busy and a lot less glamorous (although still a breeze compared to surgical specialties). I'm pretty sure this is what every other specialty (and naive medical students) think of the field. What stereotypes make you giggle about your field?
