what are the different specialty stereotypes (for example, the jock orthopedist etc)? Family Medicine - touchy feely save-the-world types who focus on the big picture instead of minutiae. Ortho - dumb jocks / carpenters Internal Medicine - super nerds, very inquisitive, thrive on minor details Radiology - pale hunchbacks hyped up on coffee so they can stay awake in dark rooms in front of screens all day. Always either super quirky or boring as watching paint dry. Neuro - the nerdiest of all the super nerds Anesthesiology - the guys who smoked a lot of weed in undergrad…and probably still do. Super chill folks. ER - adrenaline junkies who function better OFF their ADHD meds. They all drive X-Terras or Jeeps or bike to work. Psych - A little on the crazy side themselves. Pathology - Foodies and food obsessed (srsly lots of things in pathology books are named after food). All wear glasses due to prolonged exposure to microscopes Derm - Perfect skin, manicured nails, always offers Botox or steroids Pediatrics - Colorful socks, bowties, no white coats, and superhero costumes on Halloween. Girl/Guy next door types. Most likely to be seen at ComicCon in cosplay. Urology - Usually fun loving guys who are everybody’s buddies. And they have so. Many. Weiner Jokes. PM&R and Sports Medicine - very nice ex-jocks who got a shoulder injury and couldn’t do ortho but who still have active lifestyles. Had difficulty deciding between PT, ortho, and neuro for the rehab components. OB/GYN - Amazons. Fiercely protective of their patients, and not afraid to chew you out in a heartbeat. But they won’t mess up their makeup while they do it. You’ve seen Mean Girls, right? General surgery - Workaholics. A chance to cut is a chance to heal. Source
