I'm not a dermatologist, but I was studying to be one for some time, and I think my least favorite aspect of it would be to touch very gross old skin diseases. There are lots of things that dermatologists do, like take a small little like needle and scrape things out, and it's it's a little gross sometimes when they have very bad diseases, and there's pus and so that would probably be the least favorite aspect is to kind of always be touching and looking and dealing with those things.

The least favorite aspects, pardon, of dermatology is actually government-mandated records that have to be done in a computerized fashion. Ultimately, the concept of computerizing records so they can be easily researched and add to the patient's care is all well and good, but the software doesn't talk to each other. These are, in fact, little silo operations, and there's not the integration of the electronic information on folks. So it's very, very expensive, very expensive, time-consuming, and not, in the end, helpful to the patients, and certainly not to myself.
