Ill get back to you once i confirm what im going into

 

[Goro]

EM

Wander into the EM forum and you'll see what I mean

 

[RocuROMANium]

EM for sure. I’m sure the orthobros can throw down too. I could see anesthesiology slamming some cocktails, the alcohol kind that is, and getting saucy as well

 

[FluffyCat1212]

I would argue that psychiatrists can be pretty fun (or unfun...) at parties.

 

[RunsOnCaffeine]

I've never seen anyone "throw down" as hard as ortho residents.

 

[Tenk]

EM. Nothing like going out at 7 am with the night shift crew for beer breakfast.

 

[i-doctor]

EM, but every EM doc I know is now an alcoholic. Not kidding here

 

[LunaOri]

Those that spend time in the ED or OR party the hardest, but those that have time for a life outside medicine (rads, path) are the most interesting to chat with.

 

[Rachapkis]

Is it wrong to say that I would like to hang out with pediatricians because they're kind, enjoy a good time, but aren't looking to get hammered and run through a brick wall?

 

[Proudfather94]

What about internal med? 7 days off with no call sounds like a great oppotunity to have fun to me.

 

[mrbreakfast]

Anecdotally and in my experience, I would say it correlates directly (and strongly) with acuity of work. EM, general surgery, neurosurgery, and ortho are always down to party. It's more the type of work - and the type of person that work attracts - than the specialty, to some extent.

I've got a lot of IM friends, and while they're great, generally internal medicine people are much more laid back and not going to want to stick around at the bar past 9 or 10.

Somehow I doubt pathobros are party animals... 😀

They're actually known to be amongst the kinkiest so I guess it depends on the type of party you're looking for.

rads

 

[pyrrion89]

on the other end of the spectrum I imagine path, neuro, peds, rads as most likely to spend the weekend night playing board games

Nah we go hard (rads). I frequently drink with my coresidents and PD.

 

[catnip12]

Weird question. But we in the surg subs tend to be a good time

Neuro is highly variable, but the inpatient and vascular crew - including the older docs - generally throw down hard.

man I wish my life would be a lot easier if my mom dated a doctor

 

[MDMechEngr]

The ones that barely got into medical school.

 

[Gilakend]

The ones that barely got into medical school.

This is the actual correct answer.

Anyone saying these super competitive specialties just doesn't get it.

 

[Splenda88]

IM for sure.

Many of my IM (hospitalist) colleagues are into partying. I would even call a few of them functional alcoholic.

 

[annoyedpsychiatrist]

psych, because youd have to be the most open minded person to want to do what we do

 

[mistafab]

I would say not psych.

Just too down to earth to throw ragers. Definitely ortho or uro with the win… maybe OBGYN

Neuro / IM are just a bunch of nerds. Rads/path too. Peds have gummy bears, not beers. FM is too busy hunting elk to party. EM folks are on a swing shift so they can’t come.
