> Alex I'm sure the others know but may I ask what you did decide to be a pdoc, therapist, philosopher? Love Phillipa
Well... As long as the philosophy research funding keeps rolling along I'll stick with that. Once that runs out then I'll hit medical school and... See what happens. Currently I'm thinking (in order of priority) neurosurgery, neurology, psychiatry (in decreasingly hard areas to 'match' / gain a place to specialize in). Not sure what might take my fancy, but that is my current thought at any rate. Basically to aim to make my philosophy research feasible with (ultimately) 2 days of seeing patients / surgery and outpatient follow up and better access to health research funding (rather than teaching undergrads for at least two days a week to fund my philosophy research).
