THIS SUBREDDIT IS FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS.

r/surgery is a lounge where medical professionals can talk about the latest advances, controversies, ask questions of each other, commiserate or tell a doctor joke. Although primarily aimed at Surgical staff, residents and students, we encourage other health care professionals to join in the discussions.
Posts by non-professionals requesting medical advice will be deleted. Instead, you might consider r/askdoctors or r/askdocs.
Posts targeted at non-professionals are not allowed. (If you are marketing your clinic it will be deleted and you will be banned with prejudice.)
Contact your physician/surgeon in the case of questions related to your surgery.
Auto-moderator is active. Posts from accounts less than 5 days old or with less than 5 comment karma will be filtered.
