Description
You may be familiar with some common medical speciality stereotypes – the ‘tall, strong orthopaedic surgeon from the medics rugby team’, the psychiatrist who is ‘as mad as their patients’ or the ‘bike-obsessed-coffee-drinking’ anaesthetist, but why and how do these stereotypes exist?
The Sharp Scratch team debunk some of the myths and ask some interesting questions about their own character traits. Are these stereotypes just good fun or are they preventing us from creating diversity within our specialities by labouring under these historic, often inaccurate, pretences?
