all of their bios are about sports, hanging around with athletes/teams, becoming interested in ortho due to something sports-related.

They are generally the coolest of the surgical subspecialists, jocks or athletically active types self sorting into ortho at higher rates than into the other subspecialties. The neurosurgeons however are the most alpha type all around but theirs is an inner confidence that comes from performing undisputably the most complex procedures and having by extension the undisputed claim to being the most intelligent.

Neurosurgeons aren't the most intelligent. The board scores of surgical subspecialties are all pretty similar.

Nor are neurosurgeons particularly alpha in comparison with other physicians. Medicine is an alpha profession as it is.

This is apparently false. Neurosurgery isn’t a particularly hard residency to get. Hilariously, dermatology is the hardest.

Edit: I meant to reply to the post above yours. I agree with your post.

Dermatology is the hardest residency to land because dermatology is the easiest medicine to practice, and everyone knows this in advance of deciding their specialty. Conversely, neuro residencies are easier to land because nobody wants to practice the much more demanding branch of neurosurgery.

They're the narcotics officers of the police department. When they come through in their Chargers and Camaros, everyone looks and knows what's up. They're not the smartest, most ethical, etc, but they're definitely the coolest.
