Surgeons are the most attractive doctors

[L.Jane]

My husband is happily sharing this on FB. If only the people taking these surveys knew... I like how the non medical world ranks the most attractive doctors in probably the exact opposite rank list us med spouses would.

Respondents believed most are practically minded..

Ha ha ha!

One of my surgeon friends posted that a couple weeks ago. DH loves it because the desirable traits described all apply to EM.

I dunno... my FM guy does it for me.

OMG! We totally need to start a public anonymous website on what you need to know about dating a doctor. Everyone in medical school's prospects would totally tank!

+1! I have a friend in nursing school who commented once on FB about having a date with a med student and I was like "listen...I would just go ahead and steer clear of that. I don't think you fully know the implications. I'm married to one, and I love him dearly...but. Just, no."

ETA - I wonder how many respondents have actually *DATED* doctors, or how many think the "hell yes" response to "are doctors in general attractive" just means they are rich and brilliant and all around wonderful and captivating. I know mine isn't fully an MD yet, but dude has his faults. Sure he's tall and lean and insanely smart and level-headed and handsome IMO, but I definitely miss someone who PAYS ATTENTION TO WHAT I'M SAYING on a regular basis instead of glazing over halfway through my sentence in favor of flashcards or other thoughts of school.

I bet Greys Anatomy has helped!

R's sister posted that on my wall over the weekend. She's a pediatrician, so apparently she and R are total catches.

In other news, I totally want to make a fake profile on uniformdatingdotcom!

Wow. Just no. Seriously, no.

Sadly, you are probably EXACTLY right.

[medpedspouse]

Snort.

Reminds me of the two church ladies in their 70s that asked what my husband did (since I was alone at a function). They said "oh -you are so lucky - you married a dawkter" to which I replied "yes, you do not EVEN begin to know HOW lucky I am"

Love this! I like that they picked the specialty that probably spends the most time in the hospital. When I told people DH was an anesthesiologist, I got blank looks. Now when I say ICU fellow, the general response is eeewww!
I'm betting this all comes from Greys Anatomy. At least ER was a bit more realistic.

It's all about $$$$. People think doctors make lots of money and money is very attractive.

True, my first thought too.

Also, the thing I find so funny about how "attractive" Grey's Anatomy may or may not have made the profession/specialty (I'd be willing to bet it has a lot to do with the misconceptions)...don't people realize that 90% of GA is all the docs banging each other or other hospital staff - whether or not they are in a relationship? Unless you're a nurse or tech or something else filling out that poll, GA basically teaches you: "if your SO is a doctor in a hospital, s/he WILL cheat on you with a coworker and spend many many hours having sex in an on-call room"
