Well I'm not familiar with all the US medical categories, yet as a medic, I assure you surgeons are doctors too, and they are fully dependent on a number of other specialties, like the oncologist and the radiologist for the tumor thing. The bone fixing surgeon also depends on the radiology (and more).>should state ban the vaccines made for COVID?
Nah. People have the right to fuck with their health however they want. Incidentally, all drugs should be legal, and prescriptions should be a doctors' guideline, not a required permission slip to buy something.
>Would you trust a medical specialist with operating you for a tumor, putting you on chemo, bolting together some broken bone together?
No, No, Yes. Because the first two of these are in the purview of doctors, and one is in the purview of a surgeon. Surgeons are somewhat trustworthy, doctors as a whole are not. As somebody who has been fucked by misdiagnoses before, fuck most doctors. They are about as good as indian tech support is at troubleshooting a computer program. Surgeons however never wronged me, my bones healed up fine, and I got stitched up fine.
Conflating all medical professions into "medical specialists" is a special kind of retardation for which I can only wish you a 10 hour wait in an ER during the middle of a pandemic.
Happy to hear you got stitched well. Fractures can be really messy, and it takes quite a bit of surgical mastery to put things together well.
