Why are proctologists mostly male? And, what's the allure of becoming one?

The average proctologist gross salary in United States is $486,239.

 

 

A mere pittance, given the job description, IMHO.

 

I would never STOOP so low, provided that I could....instead...

 

Become a brain surgeon.

Becoming a neurosurgeon is very competitive  & difficult

and then huge malpractive premiums.

Proctology EZ.

If you find somewhere with an attractive female proctologist let me know.

Perfectly predictable provided the position of most patients.

 

 

[oldestswinger]

I only do female patients.

Many doctors want to start a practice and choose an area of specialization. They may choose a field of practice where a need exists, perhaps accelerating the time needed to establish a reputable practice. To comment on their character or motives seems juvenile. Is a male gynecologist a  pervert because he sees women naked? I think not.

As for the question as to why  there are so few female proctologists, my research suggests it is a difficult area for women to enter.

Old bartender's joke.

What's the difference between a bartender and a proctologist?

 

A proctologist only has to look at one <deleted> at a time.

Does your research suggest the reasons for this difficulty?

If so, then why did you not mention these reasons?

 

Meaning, it should be as easy for a man to ENTER,  as for a woman to ENTER, the specialty of proctology, provide that she or he has a proctoscope.

 

Why is there this gender discrimination then, if there actually is bias?

 

a.  All men have anuses.

b.  All women, equally, have anuses. Women are equal to men, in this respect.

c. Then, logically men and women who have anuses should be able to choose proctology without bias, provided that said man/woman has met the requirements, equally.

 

Does this not seem logical?

 

Or, what does your research show?

 

Why is it more difficult for a woman to enter this field?

Your research shows....?

 

80-percent of proctologists are male.

Why?

A more telling statistic that will probably never be determined or released is what is the average medical school class rank of all Proctologists. 

Residencies in the top, most in demand specialties are hugely competitive.  Only the top graduating students in the top tier medical schools get the best residencies at the best hospitals.  Every medical school class has a bottom half of the class and that bottom half has it's ten lowest.  The lower your class rank the fewer opportunities for top specialties.  According to Google/AI, the least desirable specialties are family medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics, pathology and physical medicine and rehab.  The term Proctologist is no longer used for the specialty; Colo-Rectal Surgeon has become the proper term.

The episode of Seinfeld where Kramer mistakenly gets the license plate of a Proctologist was so funny.

Proctologist is a far-better and more pleasing word for the profession.

 

Are you saying that the term Proctologist is no-longer PC?

 

Would it not hurt equally no matter whether your proctologist were a politically-correct proctologist, or not?

 

And, thank you for mentioning the BOTTOM-HALF in your comment.

Nice!

Also, no matter the term for this kind of professional:

 

I would say that there should be adequate sound-proofing on the walls and doors of the proctologist's examination room.

This is really what I am saying.

Women don't find bums attractive and are grossed out by poo.
