I am definetely an introvert, with academic talent.

I have really considered being a doctor, but I think too much patient contact would make me feel down/sad.

So pathology, according to some quick google searches, is definetely for introverts. Im not convinced.

1. How much patient contact is ther?
2. Do you ever need to cut open, jag, scalpel living patients?
3. Do you get paid during the 5 years training post med school and fys, in the UK?
