The 2022 #MetGala looks as medical specialties. Don’t ask me who these people are bc I don’t know most of them

Starting easy, plastic surgery—literally dripping with gold and girl, they’ve got money

Orthopedic surgery: its the combination of cast padding and the backwards hat

A wise drag queen once said “the nipples are the eyes of the face” and so I give you: ophthalmology

General surgery, he’s literally wearing scrubs

Emergency medicine: a little bit of everything

The before is a placenta and the after is obviously a metaphor for water breaking—OBGYN

Neurology. Idk he just looks like a neurologist to me.

Immediately makes me think of pediatrics, maybe its the butterfly hair clips

Psychiatry bc of the Rorschach test on the dress. Yes, I know that’s not really a psychiatry thing and I don’t care. In med school they said beliefs that remain fixed in the face of contrary evidence are delusions, so either way it works.

This is giving haustra—gastroenterology

She’s wearing a renal pelvis—nephrology

Lovely rich deoxygenated blood red color and a slightly exasperated look, its gotta be cardiology.

Do you guys see lungs in those sleeves? No? Just me? Anyway, pulmonology.

Infectious disease based on the exam findings.

Heme/onc. Blood smear. Easy.

Dermatology. Very glamorous without showing an inch of skin. Because of the sun.

It might just be the contacts but: radiology

This is anesthesia when they get cold in the OR and they wear those flimsy jackets that look like they’re made of the same material as the drapes.

This looks like that one figure in Netter’s that’s just the brain with all the nerves. Neurosurgery?

Vascular surgery: bold bright red, all you can see filling the field if you didn’t place the clamp correctly before making the arteriotomy

Urology. Like a kidney wrapped in Gerota’s fascia (no dresses looked particularly penile to me, so I went the kidney route).

ENT—obviously had to pick an outfit with an interesting neck detail.

Rich. Expensive. They’re better than you. Cardiothoracic surgery.

Very tasteful stoma detail. Colorectal surgery.

Radioactive neon lime green for rad/onc

Palliative care. This dress is basically a duvet and palliative just wants you to be cozy and comfortable.

Ok last but not least, pathology. Sorry, I associate path with death… and this looks like comfy grim reaper couture

Now that this thread is picking up steam... Everyone should feel free to add their own if its missing!!

This is definitely an IM attending talking too much during rounds and wanting to do a “quick” chalk talk on acid/base

Yes, we love to see implantable devices for DM on the runway. Wearable endocrinology fashion. I know @mike_natter would approve

Family medicine and primary care. The backbone of the medical system, overworked but making it look easy. Wearing classic black and sunglasses at night bc they’re just that cool (and to hide the eye bags bc they’re so tired)

Rheumatology with thousands of tiny little stabby crystals @Laceminace @l_giangregorio

El conejo malo, keeping a close eye on those vitals with his spectacles and already gowned ready to do a bedside procedure. Critical care @dch1309 @callie_mt
