Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung
A stereotype of surgeons' personality persists in the general public and among health-care professionals. Only a few studies have attempted to describe this "surgical personality" in detail. The aim of this study was to investigate the personality traits of surgeons compared with internists and to prove the existence of a stereotype among health-care professionals concerning surgeons.
