Let it Began.

 

[Barcu]

The doctor that can run fast and knows how to use a gun.

 

[Negrodamus]

Obviously the least effective specialty would be dermatology.

 

[Algophiliac]

Apocalyptic? Psychiatrist. And whichever one used to work in the Marines, Army, or intelligence agencies. And still has the gun.

 

[bajastapler]

according to falling skies it would be a pediatrician ^_^

+ she's hot

 

[kg062007]

Yes she is! But when did she say what her specialty was?

 

[Algophiliac]

Psychiatric doctor. To help human find the truth. 🙂

I was thinking more along the lines of not become suicidal mass murderers desperately clinging to life as they realize they have 0 hunting/plundering/foraging skills, but hey. 😛

But seriously, I don't think the main problem will be physically sick people when a freaking apocalypse just happened. And doctors or no, lack of food, clean water, sanity...that stuff kills, too.

 

[pfaction]

Neurosurgery.

Braaaaaiiiinnnnnnsssssssssssssss.

 

[kg062007]

Neurosurgery.

Braaaaaiiiinnnnnnsssssssssssssss.

how helpful is a neurosurgeon outside of the OR away from his equipment?

 

[CaliGirl14]

Er?

 

[Frazier]

Depends how "destroyed" we're talking... Like no electricity? If so then overwhelming majority of specialties are rendered useless.

I'm going with EM or FP.

 

[FirefighterDoc]

er?

+1

 

[JESSFALLING]

Infectious Disease fellows...to ward of the remnants of the zombie outbreak 😱

 

[NickNaylor]

Plastics to spur the growth of the population.

 

[Charles Darwin]

Urologist.

Don't worry, this thread made no sense from the start.

It wasn't suppose to, its main purpose was to get under the skin of uptight
d-bags such as yourself.

[TheMightySmiter]

Pathology. Don't want there to be a zombie PCP shortage.

 

[StudyShy]

EM and...

OB for all the crazy loving we will have without SDN and TV.

 

[FrkyBgStok]

what kind of "post apocalyptic" are we talking about? "the stand" where 99.4% of the population died of captain tripps? jesus returning and all the christians getting raptured leaving population unnoticebly smaller? nuclear war that ends most? the last remaining humans are starting to lose ground fending off the zombies? these are very important questions and the information is imparative for a defendable answer.

OP- please clear up issues and lay a better foundation of the situation so I may come up with a hypothesis.

 

[MUTiger15]

Mmmm... Gastroenterologist.

We may have problems with controlling our... er... output.

We need more specifics! 🙂

Definitely without a doubt plastics. There is the ColeNaylor make-people-hotter argument, but...

I would graft zombie parts on to myself so that I could infiltrate their ranks or join their ranks depending on who's winning the inevitable zombie vs. human war that will break out (because of...chemicals...and stuff...)

 

[flatearth22]

Family Practitioner who did well in his surgical rotations.

 

[Narmerguy]

Pain Medicine.

 

[235788]

Obviously general surgery. Someone needs to dig the bullets out of the bodies of the wounded.

 

[NYBills987]

general surgery or emergency medicine for sure

 

[SeminoleVesicle]

general surgery or emergency medicine for sure

👍

 

[Web MD]

Dr. McNinja

Definitely EM or rural FP (better with their hands than their city-dwelling counterparts).

 

[Ost3oclast]

Trauma or EM doc for sure. With all the post-apocalyptic wars going on I'm sure they will be in high demand. But the world was supposed to end on May 21st remember....

 

[Dr L Vuitton]

Does it really matter? they're going to be nickname "Doc" no matter what

 

[postbacpremed87]

Either this or infectious disease physician....for the zombie apocalypse

Neurosurgery.

Braaaaaiiiinnnnnnsssssssssssssss.

So, you're admitting to trolling?

The IM guy is going to run out of resources real quick-like. I'd go with ER over FP here, just for the increased exposure to medical emergencies and their resolution.

 

[StudyShy]

Let it Began.

Correction: Let it begin.

EM? or trauma

[Dr Love]

A love doctor to repopulate the earth.

I don't think that will be a problem that will require a physician's intervention.


Or at least not one that could be fixed in a post-apocalyptic scenario.

What if there is only one person left on Earth to mate with, and he/she doesn't like you? What if he/she is clinging to the hope that their loved one is still alive, and won't mate with you? That's when you need a love doctor.

You can deny it all you want, but my training in the reproductive sciences will come in handy. Just wait.

I agree. I think some fertility docs might come handy. 🙂

yo it's called rape...

jk

 

[StoicJosher]

Well, in the post apocalyptic Aftermath, only one type of doctor can survive. Someone who is able to Keep their (zombie) Heads Ringing - a Natural Born Killer. Someone efficient so that no one will F*** with the Dr. It is important to Let the apocalypse Ride out to the end. Finally, the doctor must be able to Detox them so that they don't keep Shi**ing on the World.

Anyone come to mind?

 

[TooMuchResearch]

Zing.

 

[IlDestriero]

Dentist. If you have more than a toothache or a mild dental abscess, you're done anyway.

Good one! Surprised no one thought of that yet.

Dentists can do cleanings, procedures, etc. largely without electricity if you really think about it...

Foot-powered drill, anyone?
