2. Surgeons are notoriously autocratic as they lead their Operating Room teams

It is very much like a captain on a ship. Their command is about as good as law. When an artery bursts or a heart stops, a team has to move at lightning speed without pausing to debate or give double talk.

Hence it makes sense to consider surgeons separately from the kindly family doctor who inspects the cranky two year old child's ear.
