So like the aforementioned proctology, as well as gynecology, but also non-gross specialties like dentistry. I don't know how the decision process works for that kind of thing. Is it the nature of the work and the workload? Is it some sort of fascination with that part of the body? Are they just more knowledgeable with one area over another so they went with that instead? Depends. Some of them are because of money or lifestyle. Gastroenterology and cardiology do cool procedures and make more, than say endocrinology, so they're more competitive to get into. Dermatology also does a lot of "mini" procedures (shaving moles off and stuff), so they get paid a ridiculous amount, and the nature of the work amounts to comfortable hours and rarely any emergencies to disrupt time off (so its incredibly competitive). Things like ophthalmology and urology is basically a surgeon with better hours/pay, and they use cool technology on a daily basis. Combination of lifestyle and pay usually dictates the types of board scores you need to be competitive for a specialty, so people choose based on what they're competitive for and the type of work they want to do more (thinking versus doing something with your hands). --- "He has two neurons held together by a spirochete." ...
