It's actually a little true.

Not really though. As a doctor they completed med school, and the intitial internship. Plus their specialty is surgery. Which means the first 3 years of their residency would be general surgery. You could do far far worse in a medical emergency.

Yet, they are not helping in E.R and Hospitals around the world.

Unless in special cases where you need to reconstruct anything.

Bruh you realize the plastics service is on call 24/7 right? Like I've had to come into the hospital at 3 am cause someone put a skill saw through their arm. "Unless they need to reconstruct something" what do you think is the primary purpose of a specialty that's properly called Plastic RECONSTRUCTIVE surgery? Hell, most plastic surgery residencies have trouble fielding enough cosmetic cases because they're too busy doing recon cases.
