Which medical speciality makes the most difference to people's lives?!


Question: Paediatrics - helps child and parents. very rewarding too.
A very difficult choice though, but you did ask for just one.

I think you mean obstetrics re childbirth.
As for the others A & E saves countless lives.
Surgery (anaesthetists invaluable here!) and medical emergency/medicine = important too.
Then there is neurosurgery, orthopaedics and many 'specialist' branches :- intensive care (anaesthetists again involved), oncology, ENT, infectious diseases, tropical medicine etc. But without the general surgeon and the medical experts the latter wouldn't have developed.

Some type of surgeons probably make the most easily visable difference to people's lives.

The medical speciality of a practitioner with compassion and empathy..

Anaesthetist?

Statistically GPs manage by far the largest percentage of disease without referral. Otherwise I suppose the geriatricians or psycho-geriatricians, since all of us that survive long enough eventually end up receiving some care from them as well.
