In the Medical Field how are ortho surgeons generally viewed by other peers like anesthesiologists, Derm, and other specialties??

Judging by the ortho candidates that I saw on the interview trail (I'm not applying for ortho) - like completely stereotypical meatheads.

The whole "let's just consult medicine for everything" is a stupid position that makes us look dumb.
Isn't that how neurosurgeons view every specialty other than their own?
I would say it makes you look responsible, not dumb. In private practice, although I'm sure you COULD manage these things, why not leave it to the experts in the field. You are still a doctor, but managing systemic medical issues is not your specialty. If the IMs in your community are getting resentful that they are getting consulted to manage this aspect of patient care, the question becomes, why are they so hot about it?

Probably because part of the money orthopods are paid for the procedure includes the postoperative care. If they want to be the only surgical service that doesn't have to be responsible for minimally complicated postops that's fine, but their reimbursements should be changed accordingly. And probably will be cause they seem pretty high on medicare's hit list.
Are orthos really under the crosshairs of cuts moreso than other specialties?

If you are talking specifically about anesthesiologists and dermatologists, the general view is that the ortho surgeons are not as smart as their peers in other specialties. This is, of course, just a general view, and I don't believe that it is true (I'm a neurosurgeon).In the Medical Field how are ortho surgeons generally viewed by other peers like anesthesiologists, Derm, and other specialties??
