How to Determine a Doctor's Specialty

Want to know what specialty a doctor practices? Just ask that doctor what time their first meeting of the day begins. While not always perfect, it's usually quite telling.

Here's how things play out at our institution:
If the first morning meeting starts at 06:30 AM - it must be orthopedic surgeons.

If the first morning meeting starts at 07:00 AM, it must be general surgeons.

If the first morning meeting starts at 07:30 AM, it must be internists.

If the first morning meeting starts at 08:00 AM, it's usually just administrators.

    And if the answer is, "Meetings? I'm too busy taking care of patients to bother with meetings," then it's a family doc.
