Hi guys. The back-story's not very interesting so I'll just skip to the point. I'll be doing a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science in 2011, and one of my options during the degree is to transfer to a Bachelor's of Medicine/Surgery, which is basically how you become a doctor/surgeon/person who works in a hospital in NZ.

So I guess what I'm asking is for the opinions of people studying Medicine/Health-related degrees, how you feel about the degree, whether you've thought of or are planning to be a doctor, why you chose this path (if you want to share that), etc.

Personally, I plan to specialise in Neuroscience because it seems like a very interesting field, although I guess the story behind me picking Biomedical Science isn't too spectacular considering I pretty much sat down in front of a list of science degrees and picked whichever one looked the most interesting. Psychology also appealed, but then I realised I didn't want to make a job out of listening to people's problems for the rest of my life (kudos to those who do).

So yeah, offer me opinions on your medical/health degrees-in-progress, I'd like to get some insight into the process.
