There's no way that's true, must have been drunk/half asleep/randomly choosing answers on the IQ test or something like that
There is an anesthesiologist somewhere with an IQ of 60.
Which surgeons have the best hands?

Agree with above, the question should have been framed as "which surgical procedures require the steadiest hands or which surgical subspecialty requires the steadiest hands as a whole?".
But with all due respect, I did not ask the question because I care about which one has "the perfect hands." Of course one should pick what specialty they like and do it to the best of their ability... The question was meant to be exploratory and to hear about different procedures in a range of surgical specialties that take great precision.
lol who uses stealth for bullet removal? just do crani and dig

Not Dr. Strange bannie... not Dr. Stephen Strange
I would hope my urologist has the best hands. The womb broom deserves the best
I kind of want to stir the pot and say Derm
Really though, colorectal probably has the best hands, given the uh, gentle nature with which they must assess certain anorectal pathologies.

What about gastroenterology? Have you seen how they handle that snake?!

I'd say urology, some of those dude have been getting hands on experience since their pre-teens...
I want to place a check mark next to each surgical subspecialty listed in @Frogger27's poll.
All surgeons need "steady hands." Yup, not gonna single out any subspecialty because all of them need steady hands - ortho, ophthal, neuro, vascular, etc - steady, steady, steady - especially if the surgeon is operating on you or me!!!

I thought this was a more subtle way to ask...
DO surgeons probably have better hands than any MD surgeon because we learn OMM.
is there any OMM practiced during surgery? Do DO surgeons get excited when an incision is made so they can omm right on the bone rather than on inconvenient skin?
Well that's not what I meant. DOs learn how to feel cranial bones move during respiration because we can actually feel the CSF. That's how strong their proprioception is. So I'm just saying they probably have less operative morbidity/mortality because they make less mistakes.
Ortho. No brainer. 😉 bunch of buff, athletic bros who make bank, and are generally nice and a little cocky? I dare you to find a better combo. sadly it doesn't work as well for us chick orthopods. Many guys seem to be scared of us. Which is ok. I like to keep them on their toes. 😉
You will get some bites on this I bet.
Thanks! Our surgery professor is a DO and that is basically what they told us.
Your preceptor who told you this is an idiot.
In my experience, ObGyns might be the only men who know where everything is😉
Except for the clitoris, of course. We are all still on the hunt to find where it's hidden!In my experience, ObGyns might be the only men who know where everything is

That's some of the craziest **** I've heard in a long time.
You have to be enlightened first. IMO that's when they wine and dine you during orientation week and smack that what coat on you. I asked to have the "osteopathic" part of the embroidery to be in bolder and darker then the rest of the name.
Awh come on, it was a 0/10 trolling effort.

CSF is on the inside, probably just the STA or your preceptor feeling their own pulse in the radial artery of the index finger.
Your subtle insult is a 10/10 on the cringe scale.
A fentanyl pop is in order but I'd like to see more from you.
I should have been more specific. It's called a fluid wave and it's the CSF moving in sacral flexion and extension. You should probably study the head in more detail if you're a neurosurgeon, I'd be worried!
I forgot you charlatans believe touchy feely voodoo to amphiarthrotic joints lets the bad humors out. I'll go back to my emperic evidence based medicine, randomized controlled trials, and standard of care. To each their own.
We have our OWN research journal thank you very much (and yes, it doesn't have an impact factor but the editors are going to give it one that's near JAMA and NEJM because of the merger). But way to stamp out the stories of patients who have literally been healed of their illness with a simple volleyball hold to the head. It's very neurosurgical of you.
Fluid waves eh? I'll show you sacral flexion and extension
That'd be great but I already have something set up with @Str3ampaw . Maybe in a two weeks?
Not to be pedantic, but you can only nutate and counter-nutate the sacrum. It's fixed to the ilium.

Looks like i have something i can show u
For a neurosurgeon he was pretty stupid and picked a fight with the SDN Overlord.
Got himself banned...but I"m still here!
He's not actually banned. For April fools, there was an announcement that several people would be banned indiscriminately. It was a joke.
How many times do you plan to comment on neurosurgery and getting "teh" "chicks"?

I haven't decided yet if I am proud or embarrassed to have started this thread..
You should be proud. Very proud
For better or worse, the reality is there is a bell curve of skill in every surgical specialty.
