Digested from website comments:

General surgery is the worst specialty that a medical student can consider. Surgeons are typically no-life assholes who spend nearly every waking (and sleeping) minute in the hospital. Their life’s work is not centered around saving patients, but rather being egotistical pricks who like trying to look better than everyone else.

The bottom line is that they’re pissed off that they have to work more hours for the same amount of money than their “lifestyle specialty” colleagues who ultimately made better decisions regarding career plans pre-residency.

If you want a good life, even when you’re 50 years old and tired of spending your entire fucking life in the hospital, stay away from surgery.

Is that better?
