Pros

You get to offer a service to others and have the opportunity to meet different people every day. The working enironment is challenging. Definitely a career for those that enjoy hard work (physically and academically). Some would say the chance to travel around the country on different posts is also a "perk of the job".

Cons

Medical practice is sadly thankless. The majority of patients don't appreciate your work and management is so poor, you are left picking up other people's pieces. Being posted to different places every year can be unsettling and difficult if you have family. The promotions system is more about hoop jumping than ability.
