Oncology - Cancer

Hematology - study of bood

There's lots of types but I think if you want a challenge, Neurology would be a good field. There are a lot of people that have medical problems and can't get a diagnosis because doctors don't know what's wrong with them. Usually, the last stop in a list of referrals, is a Neurologist. A lot of times, it's a neurological problem. People are releived to, finally, learn what's wrong with them.
