    Its totally depends on your choice whether you are good in surgery or medicine. If you dream to be a surgeon than MS is good otherwise you can purse medicine in various fields. Overall both are good.

    Guys,
    Surgery is a creative discipline, and requires lots of skill, talent and passion to excel so you should not opt for surgery unless you are very sure about it.

    After medicine, you can work on a fixed day shift or fixed hours shift but while working as a surgeon you might have to deal with emergency cases and most of the time, you can be called on very odd timings

    For a candidate who gets fearful at the sight of blood, surgery is not an option, so for him MD is the option he is left with.

    HI
    A person who completes MS becomes a surgeon while the one who takes up MD is a physician. A physician cannot be a surgeon, while surgeon can work in place of a physician with more study of medicine.
    Financially, a surgeon can earn a lot more money that a physician, if he or she is good and skilled

    Hi,
    It totally depends on which stream you are more inclined towards, whether its medicine or surgery , both the streams are quite different from each other and both have good career scope and opportunities .
