I was thinking of psychiatry or internal medicine!

Mental health is at an all-time low nowadays. I think it is a field I can make a more significant difference in. Speaking of higher ambitions, If i do choose psychiatry, I aim to become a lobbyist for mental health as well.

That's a very admirable goal! Definitely a field that takes a lot of mental fortitude!

Good luck and I hope you enjoy whatever field you end up in. I'm not a doctor nor am I planning to become one, but I'm partial to pathology myself...although it isn't patient facing.
