Algorithm for Choosing a Specialty

I ran into this wonderful algorithm for choosing a medical specialty. Even though it's meant for entertainment value, it's actually surprisingly accurate.

Let's see...according to that algorithm, you are sane, hardworking, nice and hate children.
Let's test this hypothesis.
Hardworking and nice--absolutely.
Hate children? Nope. I think you just prefer not to treat patients that scream and are difficult to perform a thorough history & physical.
Sane? Highly debatable.
But maybe not as insane as a shrink or ER doc. I dunno...I think the algorithm needs to be adjusted ;-).

OK, OK, so I'm not exactly sane, and I love children, but I really don't like having them as my patients. I like dealing with happy children, not sick ones that hate my guts because they don't feel good and aren't comfortable around me.
