I look forward to your pro/con list. As you can see by my online name, I'm a nurse and not a doctor, but I think it would depend on how much of a relationship you want to have with your patients. I think with anesthesia, you probably don't have deal much with people while awake (which could be a pro). Do you have better long term opportunities with one as opposed to the other?
Not really having patients is one of the cons, actually. Although some days it could be a pro..... haha
They both have similar long term opportunities. With GI I would probably have more opportunities to go into private practice if that was something I was interested in. Anesthesia has multiple options as well in terms of pain management or working in a SurgiCenter vs. hospital. There are plenty of paths in both. The pros and cons tend to do more with lifestyle and the differences in the years of training needed.
