Sadly, I found most surgeons do not do well outside of the operating theatre & their surgery duties. They are well noted for poor bedside manners, even rudeness, but with a surgeon generally what matters is their skill in the operating room taking care of that surgical need. No long-term relationships, thank gawd. Of all the surgeons I've worked with, I can only think of three I liked as a human being. Oz is one of the former- take him out if the surgical role & you get a hideous bad character with values that are only concerned with money & power. That's what we have seen. Not only that. A surgeon is the worst medical professional to put in that kind of role because they have no global vision of what medical needs for the poor are.
Yup. The lack of interpersonal skills and higher rate of personality disorders among surgeons is documented in the literature - along with personal observations of course.
Oz, is a Smarmy ex-Surgeon. With a very synchronistic last name. Think of the famous movie ‘Dorothy & The Wizard of Oz.’ Not quite up to his legend. Just like the Election “winner.”
I had a vascular surgeon once who’d done surgery on me. A friend had given me a playgirl magazine, as a joke. So as he came on rounds he ignored me but looked at the magazine intently! He must have really liked naked Burt Reynolds’s.

I agree, and would add that such people don't care about the poor. Or the aged.
Or, themselves.
Well articulated! I share your opinion in this matter.

Surgeons are good mechanics, nothing more. They are not bright.
