What is the gap between physicians and surgeons? What is the difference between a physician and a surgeon?

Surgeons usually use knives, and physicians usually analyze patients' conditions, so stethoscope is the most commonly used by physicians because it can observe patients well.

Simply put, traditional doctors focus on the analysis of diseases, especially the ability to diagnose and analyze intractable diseases, use theoretical knowledge to diagnose diseases, and then control diseases with drugs according to evidence-based medical evidence. The level of doctors is mainly the ability to diagnose diseases. Internal medicine can be divided into hematology, nephrology, gastroenterology and pediatrics. Doctors mostly operate stethoscopes.

Surgeons, basically faced with a relatively clear diagnosis, often use surgery to treat diseases. Surgery can be divided into breast surgery, urology, plastic surgery, heart surgery, burn surgery and so on. Surgeons basically use knives.

As long as we observe doctors washing their hands, we can find that there is a big difference between them. You will find that it is the surgeon who holds his sleeve above his elbow and never lets go of his wrist because he often holds a scalpel. That is, the doctor only washes his palm and wipes it on the white coat twice after washing.

In addition, when eating, most surgeons take a few mouthfuls of lunch boxes quickly, while physicians sit down and eat while talking and laughing.

So there is still a big difference between a surgeon and a physician. After all, one is a doctor and the other is a knife holder, and there is no special connection between them. The only thing in common is fatigue. After all, it takes a long time for physicians to see a doctor, sometimes they don't even have time to go to the toilet, and it takes a long time for surgeons to operate. Therefore, we should respect the profession of doctors.
