So I've been through almost every third-year clerkship thus far and when attendings have asked me (regardless of specialty) what specialty I'm thinking of going into and I always reply with surgery (unlike some of my classmates who find it fitting to blatantly lie and have coincidentally found their new passion for family medicine for example because a FM attending is inquiring.) Almost always I have gotten the response of "yeah, you look like a surgeon" (said in some condescending tone)
What does that mean? I mean I didn't know a surgeon had a "look." Why do so many non-surgical attendings have beef with surgeons. I realize there are a few bad apples out there but still. It's pretty annoying if you ask me. Just my .02.
