Doctor & Surgeon Stereotypes (by Specialty)

- čas přidán 11. 06. 2024
- Unless you’ve completed medical school and are a doctor yourself, you probably believe various stereotypes across surgical specialties and have a distorted perception of the personality types of surgeons. Some stereotypes are true, but most aren’t. This is the truth about each specialty.

What are some other specialty stereotypes you've heard of that I didn't cover!? Let me know =)
Med School Insiders Cardiothoracic!
ENT
Vascular Surgery please
Cardiothoracic surgery
EM Docs!
Yes please do another specialty video. Cardiology, anesthesiology, and even family medicine
seconded!
Agreed :D I'm looking forward to seeing what you say about my speciality :o
Yas, non surgical specialties next
Yep, would like to see that video too, I can predict what would be said about family medicine but let's see xx
Yes! Psychiatry too please!
I feel like anyone who calls any kind of doctor/surgeon a "dumb bro" is a lil' misguided
They're just insecure.
theres a lot of bad people who become doctors too lol
@@pavk883 So true 😤
@@pavk883 thats true but they are bad decision makers not dumb, dumb people don't work hard and study 8+ years, they settle for less.
@@italislife7461 believe me there are dumb people that were in my class and became doctors. you dont need to be super smart for the job. just really goal oriented and disciplined
The most toxic part of medicine in-fighting is how competitiveness of specialities falsely correlates to the quality of a doctor.
Yes! Non-surgical specialities!
Indeed!
Psychiatrists. Definite god complex and ogre complex combined. Full of hypocrisies.
Yes, please! "Doctor" Stereotypes is a misleading title without medical specialties included!
Pediatricians!
@@dakoderii4221 depends i guess, i have met a psychiatrist who is very empathetic n humble
I am doctor in the UK and it's amazing how we have the same general stereotypes about surgeons over here despite being in different continents. Great work for debunking some of these myths! xx
I'm barely 14 and I'm already scared just about considering to be in the medical field
@@Glock-dm5wt You'll be fine, don't be scared, just keep working hard and make sure not to put too much pressure on yourself xx
I’m in the UK too & will be applying to med school this year, I really hope it works out
@@lydia3139 let us know in the comments how it works out
Dr. Hosa Is the stereotypes about Nurse the same too?
So these five doctors decide to go duck hunting. While waiting, they agree to take turns when shooting. After a bit, some ducks show up...
The GP gets ready to shoot, but then thinks, "Is that a duck? I'd better get a second opinion." The duck gets away.
The Ob-gyn gets ready to shoot, but then thinks "What if the duck getting ready to lay? Can't do it!" The duck gets away.
The psychologist gets ready to shoot, but then thinks "I know it's a duck, but does it know it's a duck?" The duck gets away.
The surgeon gets ready to shoot, and BLAMM. The duck falls to the ground.
He turns to the last doctor, a pathologist. "Go see if that was a duck."
I have heard this one...
Internists: Know everything, but never do anything.
Surgeons: Know nothing, but does everything.
Psychiatrists: Neither know, nor do anything.
Pathologists: Both knows, and does, everything...
...but then it is already too late!
Haha funny joke. But how can someone be so utterly stupid as to fucking mistake PSYCHOLOGIST with PSYCHIATRIST? Unless it is intentional, in which case you are a douchebag and I hope you never step in a medical school or anything of the like.
MrGrenardo you seem very personally invested in a strangers joke...you alright bud?
MrGrenardo looks like we found the neurosurgeon 🎊
@@yodasan4681 he is probably a psychiatrist
Cover dermatologists, radiologists, hospitalists, pediatrics, etc
Indeed!
The $kin i$ my Pa$$ion
@@topplayer7580 not money?
Dermatology: Dr. Pimple Popper
Radiology: $$$$$$
Hospitalists: Wanna hear a story about (Patient)?
Pediatrics: Extremely into vegetables
@@vikablaire3528 radiologists make a ton of money
What do you call Two orthopedics looking at EKG?
Double blind trial! 🤣🤣🤣
@EKGsandPianoKeys That's hilarious haha, in his defense maybe he knew how to read an EKG but didnt bother for that specific patient
Is there a fracture?
Hahaha
That is a Running Joke that surgeons can’t properly read an ECG since they only look for the General Well Being of the patient in the Pre or Post Operative period and only see the EKG to make sure the Patient doesn’t have any condition that predisposes to Clot formation (like FA)
But they won’t diagnose a Second Grade Mobitz Type 2 AV Block since they tend to ask an Internist to read the EKG at times
I personally want to be a General Surgeon, but many people have told me that I think more like an Internal Medicine Doctor
If you want a more informed opinion about the stereotypes, ask the anaesthesiologist. We see all of the specialties in the same OR all day.

Thank u sir
thank you they take way too long to get to the point
“Do healthy people ever need brain surgery?” Goodbye neurology💀
Neurology and neurosurgery are very different fields
Neurosurgeons are in very high demand because of different types of cancer
Do healthy people need doctors?
@@physicsforallbyjayantasirr674 Yes what about women giving birth.
@@rainbowwaves5531 That's right, but luckily most women are completely healthy when they go into labor. Complications are an exception to the rule.
OMG! I'm an orthopedic surgeon in China and what he said about orthopedic surgeons is the truth, lol. It's very interesting that people of the same type chose the same specialty.
Quite weird, because Ortho is a very vast speciality, with tons of equipment and procedures, yes sure we might not be that great at patient care regarding their medical pathologies, but after all that is not our main concern. Ortho bro's are mad skilled surgeons, better than most of other fields.
@@ramondamian5067 I'm in India and here too Orthopedic surgeons are regarded as dudebros.
Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Oncology, Pulmonary and Critical care, Nephrology, Internal medicine, Neurology.
Pls try to consider all of them Dr Jubbal, I guess nobody will mind if the video gets longer to 15 or so minutes lol. We love watching medschool insiders. Lots of love ♥️
@@brunahaassaft Paediatrics*
Do maxillofacial surgery! Where you have to do dentistry, medicine and surgical training!
Lol doctors are one of the only group I’ve seen who actively reinforce their own stereotypes.
Hi Doctor Jubbal would you mind doing a video on which specialty gives the MOST and Less work/life balance???
The rumor about certain specialties is that they never see their family so they need to find a partner who will be okay with that. For those of us who would like to get married after med-school could you offer some guidance?
Yea me too
Radiology for sure or dermatology.
Ophthalmology. I have good timings and I love it
or maybe rheumatology. Anesthesiology can have a good schedule depending on where you work. If you work in an outpatient surgery center then you won’t have to take call.
Do the non-surgical specialties! I can’t wait to hear about Psych
@Ricki G lol they went through medical school and graduated as doctor so they are indeed doctors, they just specialize in Psychiatry, people tend to forget that every specialist is a general practitioner before they took their specialty course
Everyone think Psych are deranged (and they're a little bit), but most of them (or at least the most I've met) are very charming and have an inner peace like no one else has (in some sort of way like pediatrics).
How do you hide $100 from an anesthesiologist?
You don't need to hide it, just don't wake him up!
and never hide it in the sudoku book
*From orthopedic? Give it to the patient ( they only look, and treat the X-Ray) 🤣🤣
* From Neurosurgeon? Give it to their family!
* From plastic surgeon? Don't even try, you can't.
* From Internist?
I’ve always wanted to specialize into general surgery and I’ve never in my life thought of it as an ‘easy’ ‘non competitive’ specialty. However, this doesn’t change my view on general surgery and I will happily stand by my choice in what I want to specialize in :) At the end we all know that doing what you enjoy the most brings happiness into ones living
Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons be like: “AM I A JOKE TO YOU?, I GOT MY DENTAL AND MEDICAL DEGREE”
I am doing both at the same time, and I want to be an OMF surgeon. most people, when talking about surgical specialities forget about them.
Hahaha oral surgeons have a worse God complex than neurosurgery
Also, OMFS has an absolutely amazing scope
That's only required in the UK, I think. In the US, it's just a regular specialty.
@@pnp072000 Romania too, you need both degrees
Can u do a video on anesthesiologists?
That would be really great!
Working in the OR I can tell you the general personality I get is they are pretty chill people and they love music since they all get djing privileges in the OR 😂
Yes
From the ones I know they're pretty cool and chill, but they have this kind of aura around them that tells you this guy isn't normal, he's a psyco
@@Mr_3raqi 🤣🤣🤣
Some of us OB/Gyns take extreme pride in our cesarean scars and closure. Anyone who thinks OB/Gyns aren’t surgeons have never seen a cesarean hysterectomy or laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy. Oh and don’t forget that the laparoscopic approach was invented by OB/Gyns! Great video and yes it is 4am and I’m still up. 😳
Exactly! I hate when people look down on it it’s giving misogyny
Yup... Ob-Gyns are always overworked and handle too much pressure. Csec is a surgery and is not a minor procedure as d video portrays
Thanks for this video! Will be waiting for a part 2. I think i can agree with most of them but in the end all are respected
Yes please follow up with other stereotypes! Everything you post is golden, Dr. J. ✨
Loved this, Kevin. But small disagreement - I've actually seen some of the most incredible surgical nuance and technical finesse during all my training from our general surgery / trauma faculty. For example - kocherizing the duodenum in a field coated in bile, blood and more doesn't sound like it would be delicate, but it teaches us to be every bit as meticulous as when we're setting up a vascular anastomosis
Great point!
@@MedSchoolInsiders I'm on a pathology rotation and today while I was summarizing the op note I mentioned they kocherized the duodenum and everyone in the room looked at me like I was an alien. I was so confused until the other medical student asked me how they made the duodenum kosher lol
If someone says General Surgery is easy and for "crude people",they obviously have never seen an oesophagectomy.
Trauma surgeons have the technical finesse of an elephant tap dancing. Simpleton cookbook checklist brainless autonotons.
Thank you Dr Jubba for posting a video about Surgery!
Ophthalmology, ENT, and dermatology!
Your videos are amazingly helpful! Thanks for producing such great content! I would totally love to see a similar video on non-surg specialties.
"orthopedic surgeons are strong as an ox and twice as smart"
I’d love to see you dedicate an entire video on psychiatry & the various sub-specialties in that field of work
As a high school student who is interested in medicine, I find your videos super interesting and helpful!!! In your future videos, can you please include more information about pediatric surgery/pediatrics in general?
Loved this video! Do one on primary medicine physicians!
Just a quick mention that another popular reason for choosing gen surg is to do more rural medicine. Not every hospital has a neurosurgery clinic, some are in small cities where gen surg sees and does a lot.
i clicked on this so incredibly fast; this is an interesting video, and good job! 😁
I would love to see pediatrics, dermatology, or maybe a video on how physicians who work with missions organizations in third world countries, practice medicine without perhaps the equipment that doctors in first world countries might have!
Pediatrics is extremely variable
But Neonatologists are probably more tough going than General Attending Pediatricians
Loved the video. it was really helpful. But I would love one about cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, otorhinolaryngology and ophthalmology. Thank you so much.
Got a video on cardiology, working on the other ones!
Please make a similar video for medical specialities (Cardiology for sure). It was a great content. Love watching your videos. Good luck!!!
Love this video! I would love to see one for non surgical specialties!
I had to take the MRI & Xrays to my Neurosurgeon upon initial consolt. His office was the penthouse suite on Ventura Blvd in Encino. The elevator opened and I thought I was in a museum . The entire floor was his office. There was a gorgous receptionist, fine leather sofas, beautiful artifacts everywhere, sculptures, paintings and I was the only client. Impressive, to say the least. His surgury on me was flawless and his fee was six figures for 3 &1/2 hrs in 1996.
28 years later, not a single bad after effect.
Troubling.
finally someone talked about OB-GYNs!!! all these medical yt and nobody ever talks about OB-GYNs!! Thank you, Dr. J!! OB-GYNs are some of the coolest, most chill physicians. I work as a scribe in the ED and when they gets calls in the middle of night, instead of arguing and getting mad (cough) cardiologists (cough), they just say "ok" and come down to the ED. Can you please do a day in the life of an OB-GYN please?
Yeah I’m waiting for that too
yo! can you make a video explaining how application process works, like what is a secondary etc?
Excellent video both part 1 and 2.
Even though I’m a current engineering student, this is really informative!
Im 16 years old and until 35 I‘ll be a great eye surgeon!!!! Remember my words!!
Before many years I was like you but now I am a surgeon . I wish you to achieve your goal .
good luck bro
Iam 16 and i want to be a doctor but afraid of all these years
@@salmakandel7113 just dont be afraid, easy
I BELIEVE IN U!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂
Could you do a video about which specialties have the best work/life balance? I want to go into medicine but I also want to live a relatively healthy life and lift weights/eat healthy and get a decent amount of sleep.
Dermatologist or Dermatologist surgery
Hope you do the non-surgical stuff, I'd love to see what you say about them. Also would love to hear about medical stereotypes as a whole, not just by specialty.
I am so thankful for neurosurgeons. I’ve had some of the best ever.
Pediatric Ophthalmology has to be the most rewarding. Profile ophthalmologists, please. Good video, btw.
Yeah unless they go into politics *cough*
There's a significant amount of people in the comments who want to see a video about cardiothoracic surgery and I'm one of them.
Also, if you do a video on CTS, I also want to see your view on how they were/are deemed a dying specialty and whether it's true, somewhat true or just false.
Dr. Jamal I have watched a substantial number of your video's, and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Gave me a more current and freshened perspective on a number of different aspects related to education and becoming established in the practice of medicine in general and surgery in particular. I feel that your discussions are, generally speaking, oriented more towards surgery. However, you are, after all, a plastic surgeon. It would seem that a great deal of medicine, has remained unchanged, while at the same time the computer, IT has greatly impacted how students go about accessing & assimilating knowledge. Even with the enhancements gained to both teaching and learning, much still relies on the motivation and diligence of the individual to gain a solid foot hold academically. I also feel that American med school grads would still benefit by learning and applying the "scientific method". I did two fellowships in UK. But, a graduate degree in a basic science would add too many years to an already long course of study. I must tell you that my difficulty in gaining admission to med school and immediate enrollment in a Ph.D. program in clinical biochem. was the best thing that could have happened to me. Made all the difference for me to begin medical education having first completed an earned doctorate.
Well, I wish you well in your business and surgical careers. It would be great if you could add some discussion on the "third" branch of the profession, there's plenty on 2 branches, namely medicine and surgery, but only a mere mention of the 3rd, that would be pathology,
my area of endeavor, maybe I could gain some insight into how I fell in, back in 1980.
My boy just completed int. med at R.I.Hosp/Brown U. in June; cardio. fellow now, then card
electrophys fellow after. Thanks. Best Wishes.
You should really do more of this! Very informative.
Can you make a video on cardiothoracic surgery? Please.. It would help me a lottt

Please this!
Hey Dr.Kevin! Please so A day in the life of an Anesthesiologist!
Hours of boredom, minutes of thrill, seconds of terror...
I have been in health care for almost 40 (oh dear God) years; initially as an RN in an inner city trauma center, and then, for the past 26 years as a Family Practice Nurse Practitioner. I have worked with just about every branch of medicine (especially as residents) and seen the kindness, humor, ego, and, on rare occasions a**h***s. One of the most heartwarming stories I have is when I received an email from one of the Bariatric Surgeons who cared for one of my patients a year and a half earlier. The surgeon emailed that he had been going through charts to see how his previous patients were doing and was surprised to see our patient had died; he asked what had happened. I emailed back that he had killed himself when his wife left him; he did this after signing himself into the hospital for 72 hours to get help. Upon release, he shot himself. I had seen him probably 2 weeks prior to the incident and he was so thrilled about getting his life back after the surgery and had lost over 125#.
I wrote how guilt ridden I felt because I knew how devastated he was and I meant to reach out to him, but got swamped, and then it was too late. The surgeon wrote back the kindest email writing about times he felt he let the patient down and sent me quite a bit of emotional support. I was so impressed he was checking on his prior patients (obviously, he does not make a penny doing so, contrary to stereotypes) but he honestly cared. And his compassion to me was something I will remember always………
The chapter formatting on this video is like something from my worst nightmares.
I wanna hear what specialties fit introverts versus extroverts
Can’t live your life as an introvert... you’ll develop confidence when you’re doing something you love

Do a video about internal medicine (like cardiology) please. But I have to say, it's a great video.
Really enjoyed the video! Can you do another one in the future dedicated to the non-surgical specialities? Such as nephrology, neurology, internal medicine, dermatology, psychiatry, anesthesiology, family medicine and oncology.
My general surgeon is the one who picked up on my LUE DVT. He caught it even before the IM residents and attendings.
My urology preceptor is one of the funniest people I know. Great video!
Urologist: *goes into urology just to make the "urine trouble" joke*
As an aspiring Cardiothoracic Surgeon, I would like to SEE a video regarding CARDIOTHORACIC surgery. Thanks
Hi, i'm a doctor from Indonesia, and i'm amazed how i could still pretty much relate with the content of this video. Good job! Anyway, would you mind doing video about an ophthalmologist? Either about the stereotype or 'a day in a life' kind of thing. I know it's less popular than the surgery related specialists, but i'm just curious. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!
Can you do a video on how important certain physical abilities are for someone pursuing surgery. For example steady hands, eyesight, etc.
Vascular and CT surgery! I’m interested in both 😊
Please do one about psychiatry, thanks!
Please, I’m in Karachi and I have realized surgery isn’t for me... it would be nice to know about the stereotypes of those taking the internal medicine AND peads route!
And once again, your videos are amazing! Glad to have had them as A resource
I’m working with a small sample size, but general surgeons have been some of the most charismatic and funny people I’ve met. I don’t think it’s the specialty for me personally, but I’ve had such good experiences with them as people.
Great channel mate. I'm a pharmacist looking to become a doctor but not sure which specialty.
Zoheb Pasha
Emergency medicine u be a killer in ER providing medicine with ur pharmacist knowledge
Please make a video that include psychiatry and emergency medicine
Yasss I was waiting for this video
yes please a video about cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery !!
Can you do a video about cardiothoracic surgery? This is a field I am interested in that many people don't talk about.
Ikr i hoped he did input them here as well
please talk about pathologists/anat path, forever ignored/forgotten specialty
i really like general surgery i can see myself doing it in the far future
I’d love to hear about dermatology and ophthalmology
Can you also do a video in the non-surgical specialties like medical oncology!
My goal is to become a medical oncologist!
Be good at chemistry. It's all about balancing chemo poisons with radiation. It used to be less technical and chemical.
The funniest moment in this video is 5:10 😂
I laughed a lot!
This is so true!
Awesome video! Can you please do a video on other specialities, such as anesthesiology, neurology, cardiology, FMD and etc.?
Please do forensic pathology! I haven’t seen many recent videos talking about what it’s like being a forensic pathologist
What about oral
And maxifolfacial surgery ? :)?
PLEASE do one on non-surgical specialties
Great content! Cover derm, Psych, and PMR!
Please can you make a video on Psychiatrist and it's increasing scope! -from India.
Pathology and Pediatrics plis I really want to learn more about both to make my decision un What to take 😅
Xavier Altori both are amazing fields ❤️
Gen Surg sounds awesome when you describe it that way.
Great video. In my experience many people choose gen surgery because they intend to fellowship in their speciality but gen surgery is the only way to get there. It's a stepping stone, NOT an easy route.
Can u do video on cardiothoracic surgery?
that is what I want to go into
How about cardio thoracic surgeons?
All the neurosurgeons I've met, small sample size, have been space cadets, and once I found out about the lack of precision in the field, it made me very nervous to even think about.
PLEASE do another specialty vid! Ophthalmology, Emergency Medicine, Oncology, and Pulmonology.
Uro is def not just the male reproductive system... The perception of it as such can make it pretty confusing for females seeking a provider for urinary concerns, or even females interested in pursuing urogyn. Just a thought.
Videos like these make me wanna do surgery more, but the training (and lifestyle) seems so rough :/
Ent and Hand have good lifestyles after residency
Medicine is tough...7 years minimum training to get to your first specialty. So those 20s are gobbled up by studying, memorizing dissecting cadavers, rounds interviewing patients, trying specialities u don't want as part of training while you are criticized and responsible for real people's care. Then u choose your life of dermatology looking at acne all day, but no on call, or emergencies. So choose what you love, not choose for lifestyle.
Joy Webster just be true to you. I think to most people, you do something for 40+ hours and week and the excitement, passion, and overall satisfaction for the job dulls eventually. Most jobs become just that. Jobs. When the novelty of a new job wears off, what position would you rather be in? Plenty of disposable income and time to fund your hobbies, pursue dreams outside of career aspirations, and spend time with your loved ones? Or have very little control over your time and sporadic work life balance that hinges on your ability to experience this one and only life you have. Very few people on their death bed wish they’d have spent more time at work. But that being said, lifestyle in surgery is possible. Pick lifestyle friendly surgical specialties (MOHS, Breast focused oncology surgical practice, ENT, Ortho sports, Hands (not at trauma centers), Ophthalmology private practice etc etc) and/or be willing to sacrifice location/pay. Losing your 20s and probably early 30s is a given in surgery. But pick the right surgical sub specialty, and as a attending, your life does not need to be sacrificed to the alter of medicine
Cool video!! We know several of these doctors in different specialities and some of these are pretty accurate
make a video discussing the free time surgeons have and how they balance work and family
Can you do videos on
1. Least competitive specialties
2 PATHOLOGY!! I feel like no one talks about pathology when they’re so many different sub specialties that are interesting
Title misleading, this was just surgical stereotypes and not medical. If you put 'Doctor and Surgeon' in the title it implies you're going to cover at least some of both.
Shamir1515 Surgeons are doctors and the whole video was medical.
I would love to see a video on Psychiatry!
I've been interested to go into cardiothoracic, anyway, you can do a video about those stereotypes? Or the general process. I realize it's a very competitive specialty.
