all your problems would vanish. These are  the 7 sexiest specialties in medicine.

Dr. Jubbal, MedSchoolInsiders.com.

After extensive research,  thousands of survey respondents,  

and cutting edge discoveries in the science  of arousal, we've compiled this list of the  

sexiest doctor specialties as backed by the  scientific literature. Nah I'm just kidding,  

this is just for fun, so chill, Karen, before you  leave a nasty comment about how offended you are.

Surgeons are obviously the most attractive.  

Don't believe me? Just ask  one, and they'll let you know.

Looking at this super legit  and highly valid online survey,  

it appears that surgeons are in fact  the most attractive type of doctor,  

with 36% of women and 25% of men picking surgeons  as the most datable type of medical professional.  

Respondents to this survey believe surgeons are  practically minded, intelligent, can remain calm  

in difficult situations, and of course are "good  with their hands." The stereotype doesn't hurt  

either, as surgeons are commonly thought of as  confident leaders who are comfortable with risk.  

I guess having crazy, often unpredictable working  hours and not being around must be sexy too.

This list is in no particular order of sexiness,  

but let us know with a comment  down below what's your top pick.

When you think of an impressive, badass  surgeon, neurosurgery likely comes to mind.  

This is the specialty for those who aren't afraid  of hard work and long hours. Neurosurgeons are the  

hardest working people in the hospital, not only  because they're in there longer than anybody else,  

but because they're also managing complex patients  in the surgical ICU that need brain surgery.  

That means managing pressors  for their blood circulation,  

complex ventilators settings for  respiration, and other life saving measures.  

It's a unique balance, heavy on both surgery  and medical management. If you look at other  

surgical specialties like orthopedics, plastics,  or ENT, medical management is comparatively minor.

This isn't just a matter of calmly waiting around  and relaxing until the scheduled case either.  

When you're on call handling  brain and spine trauma,  

you'll be handling life-or-death  decisions on the regular.

Neurosurgery is sexy because it's concerned with  a beautifully complex organ, the brain, and of  

course the rest of the central and peripheral  nervous systems. It's a specialty that certainly  

isn't for everyone for multiple reasons, including  the fact that your patients are quite sick. Think  

about it - who needs brain surgery? It's generally  patients that have less than favorable outcomes,  

and you'll be delivering bad news more than the  average doctor in most other specialties. It's  

rough when your patients have poor outcomes, and  it's often overlooked as a significant challenge.

In terms of doctors that actually save people's  lives, neurosurgeons are among the few.  

It's highly innovative too, with new tech,  particularly in the field of functional  

neurosurgery, where the line is being blurred  between what is you and what is hardware.

Neurosurgeons must be smart too, as  it's a highly competitive specialty.  

But not as competitive as the  next specialty, plastic surgery.

Plastic surgery had to make the list. After all,  these are the surgeons you go to when you want to  

look sexy. Whether you want your nose done up  with a rhinoplasty, be more full with a breast  

augmentation, or work on your body through body  contouring, plastic surgery is the epitome of  

beauty, melding art with science. Plus, with the  exorbitant fees they charge for each procedure,  

they're rolling in the dough, making  millions and living a lavish lifestyle.

Hold up, that's aesthetic plastic surgery,  

which is just one part of plastics. And  the average aesthetic plastic surgeon  

isn't making nearly as much money as you  think - top earners are just the outliers.

If you go to an academic hospital,  the plastic surgery department is  

primarily doing reconstructive work, which  isn't as glitzy and glamorous as what you see  

in Beverly Hills. But I'd argue it's  sexier than aesthetic work anyway.  

Reconstructive plastic surgery blurs the line  between science fiction and reality. The case  

that made me fall in love with the specialty  was an animated latissimus dorsi transfer,  

where the patient was unable to bend their  arm at the elbow, so we essentially created  

a bicep out of their latissimus dorsi back  muscle! I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Reconstructive plastic surgery can give  women a semblance of normalcy after a  

mastectomy for breast cancer, even including  creating a realistic nipple areola complex.  

It can help babies and children with cleft  lip and palate eat and speak without issue.

In the hospital, plastic surgeons are considered  "the surgeon's surgeon", and that's sexy. Plastic  

surgeons are the masters of soft tissue, helping  the neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, general  

surgeons, cardiothoracic surgeons, and just about  every other surgical specialty with complex soft  

tissue coverage. In other words, after a complex  case, such as a cancer resection or trauma,  

a large defect can remain. With their mastery of  soft tissue malleability, plastic surgeons can  

use flaps to cover the defect, sometimes even  moving entire muscle and tissue segments from  

one part of the body to another, and connecting  their blood supply and nerves with microscopes.

These were some of the hardest working medical  students, as plastic surgery is consistently  

the 1st or 2nd most competitive specialty in any  given year, duking it out with dermatology. But  

once they've finished training, plastic surgeons  usually have more reasonable schedules than other  

surgical specialties, meaning they won't  flake on your date night. And that's sexy.

Up there with neurosurgery, cardiothoracic  surgery also has a mystic allure and sex  

appeal to those outside of medicine. After  all, who else can fix a broken heart?

Most people think of heart surgery  when they think of cardiothoracic, but  

the "-thoracic" in CT refers to other structures  within the thorax, such as the aorta, lungs,  

mediastinum, esophagus, and diaphragm. But  I suppose those aren't as sexy as the heart.

It's an exciting field, with big, epic operations.  Where else can you feel the heart beating in your  

hands, stop it, and then bring it back to life?  Like plastic surgery and neurosurgery, it's also  

highly innovative, with new robotic and minimally  invasive surgeries being developed regularly.

While CT surgery is glamorous and exciting,  it's tough for similar reasons to neurosurgery.  

This is a highly demanding specialty with a great  deal of hard work, and with challenging call,  

the hours are anything but predictable. Surgeries  are long, and patients are sick, often not  

having favorable outcomes. You will have more  patients die compared to most other specialties.

And while you won't make as much money as  the average neurosurgeon or plastic surgeon,  

you'll be living quite comfortably,  making an average of $480,000 per year.

There are a lot of sexy specialties within  medicine. After all, being a doctor of any  

type is quite attractive. But to cover all of  them in a single video just isn't possible.

Let's not forget dermatology of  course, since beautiful skin is sexy,  

as is their amazing work/life balance,  making good money while working very  

predictable and reasonable 9 to 5 hours. There's  a reason it's such a sought after specialty.

Orthopedic surgery is sexy if you're into jocks  or bros. This is the one specialty where your  

bench press and USMLE Step scores must add up  to over 500 to even be remotely considered.

And urology and gynecology are on the list because  they make sure we can act on our sexy impulses.  

And plus, urologists have an amazing sense  of humor, and being funny is always in style.

This video was obviously just for fun,  so don't take too much of what I said  

seriously. If you want to learn about any  of these specialties in greater depth,
