Not op but rad oncs are a weird bunch. They get to play with cool machines and imaging and there is a natural overlap with coding and software. There are a number of medical fields like this. So I’m guessing somewhere along those lines (which is a bit like me, but my applications are less clinical!)

I felt the same way, what's an article about radiation oncology doing here on HN? :)

Ditto to the comment below. Former coder turned doctor. Radiation Oncology was a quasi natural choice (radiology and emergency medicine are also very tech heavy fields!) Still interested in coding.
