In some countries (like the Middle East and South Asia), certain medical professions have a certain level of "prestige" attached to them - or at least that's the case in Pakistan, where I'm originally from. That is not the case in the US. In fact, your very question would be considered disrespectful in the American medical profession. This is a substantial cultural difference... while there is some level of "prestige"-based distinction in general American society, many doctors would be offended by the implication that one specialty is more "prestigious" than another. We don't play that game here.
And that's the reason why people are avoiding answering your question. It's disrespectful. You shouldn't ask it. You may not have the cultural context to understand that, but just take our word for it.
Also, you should know that typing things like "thanx" and "da" will invalidate any level of "prestige" in the medical field. That's how teenagers talked in 1999. Again, I know that it's fashionable to talk like that in some countries, but it's unprofessional everywhere.
