  • 00:00

    Plastic surgeons are sleaze balls, neurosurgeons have massive egos, and orthopedic surgeons

  • 00:05

    are dumb bros.

  • 00:07

    Unless you’ve gone through medical school, you probably believe these stereotypes and

  • 00:11

    have a distorted perception of the personality types of each surgical specialty.

  • 00:17

    Some stereotypes are true, but most are not.

  • 00:20

    This is the truth about each specialty.

  • 00:23

    Dr. Jubbal, MedSchoolInsiders.com.

  • 00:26

    Going through medical school, I recall being surprised on multiple occasions how the stereotypes

  • 00:31

    of a certain specialties differed from reality.

  • 00:35

    I have cross referenced this list and received input from several physician colleagues to

  • 00:40

    make this list as accurate as possible, but bear in mind this is our opinion, and if your

  • 00:46

    experiences differ, let me know down in the comments.

  • 00:49

    How do you know if there is a neurosurgeon

  • 00:51

    in the room?

  • 00:53

    Easy. They’ll have already told you.

  • 00:55

    The stereotype of neurosurgeons is that they have a massive god complex, they’re hugely

  • 01:00

    egotistical, and neurosurgery is incredibly delicate and nuanced.

  • 01:05

    All three of these are mostly false.

  • 01:07

    Sure, you’re bound to find egotistical personalities in any specialty, but I wouldn’t actually place neurosurgery

  • 01:15

    higher on the list than any other surgical specialty - the level of ego seems quite comparable

  • 01:20

    between all of them.

  • 01:21

    The stereotype that is true is that neurosurgeons are some of the hardest working people in

  • 01:26

    the hospital.

  • 01:27

    They work the most challenging and demanding hours, and their lifestyle is nothing to be

  • 01:32

    envious of.

  • 01:33

    As the saying goes, neurosurgeons make the most money, but they have no time to spend it.

  • 01:40

    Neurosurgeons have some of the most hilarious and dynamic personalities of any specialty.

  • 01:44

    It makes perfect sense.

  • 01:47

    Neurosurgery patients have terrible outcomes — think about it, do healthy people ever

  • 01:51

    need brain surgery?

  • 01:53

    To deal with such tragedy on a regular basis and stay sane, healthy coping mechanisms are

  • 01:58

    a must.

  • 01:59

    Healthy defense mechanisms include altruism, sublimation, anticipation, and humor.

  • 02:05

    Some of the funniest personalities I came across in medicine were on my neurosurgery

  • 02:10

    rotation.

  • 02:11

    Surprisingly, neurosurgery is not nearly as nuanced or meticulous as most people think.

  • 02:17

    This is actually a big reason I opted for plastic surgery instead.

  • 02:21

    I go over how I decided between neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, and plastic surgery on

  • 02:26

    my vlog channel.

  • 02:28

    Link to that video is in the description below.

  • 02:30

    When removing a brain tumor, there often isn’t a super clear cut demarcation between tumor

  • 02:36

    and healthy tissue.

  • 02:38

    In spine surgery, there’s a lot of elbow grease and less precision than you would think.

  • 02:43

    While certain aspects are highly meticulous, as a whole I was surprised how crude neurosurgery

  • 02:49

    could be.

  • 02:50

    Speaking of crude, most people think of orthopedic

  • 02:53

    surgery.

  • 02:54

    When you think ortho, you probably think of bros, bench presses, and no medical management

  • 02:59

    skills.

  • 03:00

    And that’s… well… mostly true.

  • 03:03

    But within orthopedic surgery, there are some much more nuanced sub-specializations, like

  • 03:09

    hand, that require more precision and elegance.

  • 03:11

    It’s not all bros either.

  • 03:14

    While the specialty is dominated by men, many of whom have an affinity for picking up heavy

  • 03:19

    things and putting them back down, I’ve come across several kickass female orthopedic

  • 03:24

    surgeons.

  • 03:25

    Just because they don’t bench as much doesn’t mean they can’t impress you with their strength.

  • 03:30

    (Leverage and torque for the win) ← write this on the screen.

  • 03:31

    In terms of medical management skills, or lack thereof, I’ve heard tales about how

  • 03:35

    orthopedic surgeons forgot basic management or even what a hemoglobin A1c is.

  • 03:41

    When people think plastic surgery, they think

  • 03:46

    ## Plastic Surgery When people think plastic surgery, they think

  • 03:49

    cosmetics.

  • 03:50

    While aesthetics is a sizable portion of plastic surgery, there’s so much more to it than

  • 03:53

    that.

  • 03:59

    that](https://youtu.be/Gyqu5AER7gg).

  • 04:00

    Within plastic surgery, there’s craniofacial, where you fix things like cleft lip and cleft

  • 04:04

    tissues around the body and reconnect blood vessels or nerves with the help of microscopes.

  • 04:10

    tissues around the body and reconnect blood vessels or nerves with microscopes.

  • 04:16

    It’s the closest thing we have in medicine to science fiction.

  • 04:19

    It’s the closest thing medicine has to science fiction.

  • 04:23

    In terms of personality, most people think of plastic surgeons as slimy or money minded.

  • 04:29

    $100 from a hospitalist by putting it under the dressings, but you can’t hide $100 from

  • 04:35

    $100 from a hospitalist by putting it under the dressing, but you can’t hide $100 from

  • 04:41

    a plastic surgeon.

  • 04:42

    Sure, plastic surgery attracts some with those priorities, but many pursue plastics for reconstruction,

  • 04:49

    Plastic surgeons do tend to be more neurotic and have obsessive compulsive tendencies,

  • 04:52

    Plastic surgeons tend to be more neurotic and have obsessive compulsive tendencies,

  • 04:57

    which makes sense, since it’s such a meticulous field.

  • 05:01

    Urology is the specialty focusing on the male

  • 05:05

    ## Urology Urology is the specialty focusing on the male

  • 05:08

    reproductive system.

  • 05:09

    If you like dick jokes, these are your people.

  • 05:12

    Ob-Gyn stands for Obstetrics and Gynecology.

  • 05:15

    ## Ob/Gyn Ob-Gyn stands for Obstetrics and Gynecology.

  • 05:19

    Obstetrics focuses on pregnancy and delivering babies, and gynecology is to women what urology

  • 05:24

    is to men.

  • 05:25

    The stereotype I’ve heard is that Ob-Gyn isn’t real surgery or that they are a miserable

  • 05:29

    Look, cesarean sections aren’t quite surgery in the same sense that urology, plastics,

  • 05:30

    Look, cesarean sections aren’t quite surgery in the same sense that urology, plastic surgery,

  • 05:37

    neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, general surgery, or any other type of surgery is…

  • 05:41

    well, surgery.

  • 05:43

    Cesarean sections are incredibly crude, closure techniques are not conducive to favorable

  • 05:48

    On multiple occasions I was concerned that I would get stuck by a flying needle or scalpel.

  • 05:51

    On multiple occasions I was concerned I would get stuck by a flying needle or scalpel.

  • 05:56

    But just because obstetrics is like that doesn’t mean gynecology isn’t real surgery.

  • 06:01

    During my time on Ob-Gyn, I was lucky to see some awesome laparoscopic cases.

  • 06:06

    And regarding the stereotype of OB/GYN docs being miserable.

  • 06:09

    I think they’re a nice group of people, they’re just sleep deprived because of a

  • 06:13

    Several decades ago, prior to the sub specialization

  • 06:16

    of various types of surgery, general surgery was actually general - it was quite broad.

  • 06:20

    But since then, general surgery has mostly focused on surgical interventions of the gastrointestinal

  • 06:26

    Since then, general surgery has mostly focused on surgical interventions of the gastrointestinal

  • 06:30

    and endocrine systems.

  • 06:32

    1) First, because general surgery is compensated less than other specialties, is the easiest

  • 06:36

    surgical specialty to get into, and deals with a lot of more nausea-inducing

  • 06:42

    surgical specialty to get into](https://medschoolinsiders.com/medical-student/top-5-most-competitive-specialties-in-medicine/), and deals with a lot of more nausea-inducing

  • 06:46

    pathologies, I’ve heard other medical students or doctors suggest that general surgery is

  • 06:51

    for people who couldn’t get into a more competitive and “better” surgical specialty.

  • 06:57

    are known as masochists, meaning they love the pain and suffering.

  • 07:02

    Now do some applicants opt for general surgery because it’s less competitive?

  • 07:07

    Do some applicants opt for general surgery because it’s less competitive?

  • 07:12

    Sure, but many also pursue general surgery because they are undecided on a surgical sub-specialty,

  • 07:17

    or because general surgery an avenue through which you train for other surgical sub-specialties

  • 07:22

    Apart from neurosurgeons, general surgeons are some of the most medically inclined,

  • 07:25

    Second, apart from neurosurgeons, general surgeons are some of the most medically inclined,

  • 07:30

    orthopedic surgery colleagues usually aren’t involved in difficult medical management.

  • 07:35

    orthopedic surgery colleagues usually aren’t involved in as much medical management.

  • 07:41

    While the average general surgeon may not have the nuance and precision in the operating

  • 07:46

    room compared to a plastic surgeon, I consider it impressive to both operate and manage challenging

  • 07:51

    medical issues.
