I did EM for 6 months and hated it. This is because it just doesn't suit my personality.
To be good at EM you need to be:
- Comfortable with being a kinda bad at everything and great at nothing
- Comfortable with large amounts of uncertainty and risk and having to make decisions anyway
- Being abused by drunk/mentally ill patients constantly
- Being patronized by medical colleagues in other specialties
