Pain and Rheum
Hey guys,
PGY1 here, just finished a rheumatology rotation and noticed a lot of patient with chronic pain that would benefit from interventioinal pain or pharm treatment such as fibro, or inflammatory arthritis that could benefit from geniculat blocks, or chronic neck and back pain. I am interested in pain, do not know all available interventions but noticed the patients were not well controlled at times. How feasible would a rheum/interventional pain clinic be or would it even make sense? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Entering surgery with risk of arthritis
After taking a 23andme dna test, I had two genes found that are both risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis. This increases my risk for rheumatoid Arthritis. With that said, I have no family history of it.
I am interested in a surgical subspecialty, but given that result, would it be unwise to enter that field knowing my risk? Christiaan Barnard was a heart surgeon (pioneer of the heart transplant) who had RA. (Source: Student Doctor Network)
