Emergency medicine is a subspecialty that focuses on patients who need immediate and often intensive care. These physicians must be able to handle medical problems quickly to avoid potential complications with their patients. With their knowledge of emergency medicine comes knowledge about many other types of medicine, as they must be able to respond to patients who present a variety of symptoms and problems. They will also have a thorough understanding of emergency medical devices.

A plastic surgeon is a medical professional who specializes in reconstructing and improving physical appearances. They may also perform reconstructive surgery on patients who have had accidents or health problems that have caused them to need a prosthesis or another type of surgery. When someone is injured or suffers a deformity or problem caused by an illness, disease, or birth defect, the plastic surgeon can repair it.
