"What about podiatrists?"
How many feet you got? That's what I thought.

Feet are mostly bones. I guess that's a specialty if you aren't smart enough to learn more bones like orthopaedic surgeons.
You and I both know that orthopedics is for exactly two kinds of people:
1: People who got through gross anatomy and thought "That's it, I'm done with school. No more".
and
2: People who really wanted a real job like carpentry but didn't want to disappoint their parents.
If all you know is bones, you're just an overpaid paleontologist to me. Literally go look at the more interesting bones. WE are working on DIFFERENT TISSUE TYPES.
"I wanted to do primary care, but those guys have more than five diagnoses and that seemed scary" - Every ENT ever for all time.
And where did primary care send you? Back to me 
the heart consists of a series of cells, all of which are powered by mitochondria
There are more types of cells between your ear, nose, AND throat. We had to learn WAY more cells than some bullshit cardiologist.
if you're an ENT then prove it by buying me 128 GB of DDR5 RAM
Oncologist: I'm a doctor of cancer
Patient: What kind of cancer
Oncologist: EVERYTHING
Oh cute, one family of diseases. Try telling an epidemiologist that you only study cancer and they'll laugh at you. I'll walk by and laugh at both of you. There are so many fucking diseases in the ear, nose, AND throat.
One family of diseases that has innumerable causes, symptoms, and variations? But yeah, I'll call next time I get an airsoft BB stuck in my ear (that happened once)
Go on. Call your precious oncologist the next time you get an airsoft BB stuck in your ear. See where they refer you. To the only person willing to fight god to save you, an ENT.
Ear Deer, Nose Crows, and Throat Goat 😧
Wait till you hear about podiatrists.
If you claim to study two things and they're the same thing, you aren't a doctor. You're a pissing child who can't learn more than one thing including numbers.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of podiatrists have a slight foot fetish. And honestly, if they manage to keep it under control in the examination room I don't really care.
I have really high arches and this one time a podiatrist said "wow those are the highest arches I've ever seen" and ran his finger along the arch in a way that seemed... like he was kinda into it...
But then he suggested really good insoles to me so whatever.
Something something cardi-b-ologist
cardi - b(i) - ologist
Oh how adorable, MDs in here thinking they're doctors.
PhD gang gang
Everyone thinks they're the hero until they have an ear, nose, or throat problem. Then you're a fucking worm compared to us.
Hold on, my check engine light is on, I need to visit the Ford, Lincoln, AND Mercury doctor.
Proctologists are just into butt stuff
It's just a pump, too. They're just plumbers too lazy to make house calls.
Brain doctors too, they have a screw loose.
