Hey Guys, what specialty do you think is the sexiest? I think its Neuro or Plastics.
 
This reminds me of every PI I've ever heard mumble the phrase "and now to think of a sexy title for this publication...."

didn't matter what disgusting infectious disease or malady was being researched. it had to be "sexy"

If you're asking which specialty will make you look cool, just pop your white coat collar.

The neurosurgeons at my institution are easily the ugliest and least liked people. Neurosurgery is synonymous with colossal assh0le and walking joke because nobody thinks they're cool except themselves


The plastics dept. is very well liked on the other hand.

surgery programs (esp plastic and neuro) even at great institutions get probation and warnings all the time for torturing residents. i would assume women are magnetically pulled to your groin afterwards or i can't imagine why anybody would do it.
 
Neuro is not sexy. It's spending hours discussing "where the stroke is" when knowing where the stroke is does nothing to alter the management.:bang:

Agree, not neuro.!
And with a full blown CVA the patient is dependent on other people.!

On the other hand plastics appears to combine some medicine, surgery and a lot of artistic talent..
Making some think that they have found a "fountain of youth"

Sadly, im going to have to agree with you on that one. Every Women wants to look like they`re in their mid 20s.:laugh:
 
I'm yet to meet a specialty that is "sexy". They may have fancy buildings and toys, but they still end up doing nasty stuff once in a while or have a crap lifestyle.

My surgery attending was surgical oncology and he was kind of the badass of the hospital I was at. It didn't hurt that he was a real fun and kind guy who everyone liked. We even played tennis after all his cases were done one day.

If sexy means they get the most tail the answer is ortho, of course it might be the lifting and nandrolone as much as the specialty that gets them laid.

On the other hand perennial virgins = pathologists.
 
Laymen: Neurosurgeon
Laywoman: Paediatrics
Professional: Whoever gets to leave on time and not come in until the morning.
 
To the public, I think things like surgery and emergency medicine appear sexy because of the way they have been portrayed in popular culture (TV series like ER, Grey's Anatomy, etc). I'd be interested to know what else seems "sexy" to anyone who votes neuro.......

Whatever lets you spend the most time with the important things in life, that's the "sexiest". Depending on the person, the important things can be vastly different.
 
for me: IR and neurosurg
gen public: pretty much any surgeon and EM
medicine in general: hard to say because I think most people when they become residents and beyond don't really care...
 
i dunno, a lot of the obgyn residents are pretty good looking... some derm and plastic residents too... i guess ortho maybe if you're a girl...

Layman: cardiology, cardio surgery, general surgery, neuro surgery (look at grays anatomy lol), and plastic surgery is probably the "sexiest" thanks to nip/tuck.
