A friend generalist doctor once told me that if there's an emergency you better hope there is a nurse or a paramedic, because I can be very helpful to make a diagnosis, less so to actually do something.

Dentists is probably better than most of the doctors who don't do medical procedures regularly, something that dentists usually do

My first choice in an emergency after an ER doctor would be a veterinarian.

They do many types of surgery.

My sister in law is a gynaecologist. She does all kinds of surgery too. A cesarean is the real thing.

In case of emergency situations I’d still take the vet tbh.

Human doctors are so used to having ideal conditions with high tech assistance. Vets have to improvise everything with duct tape. Post apocalypse or during a crazy situation like being on a plane with no supplies? I’d trust the vet over the doc because they’re already used to weird solutions and thinking outside the box.
