I just want to know what kind of surgeons wake up in the morning and say "what a wonderful day to mutilate my fellow man as well as some canines and chimps"
Surgeons famously have higher rates of psychopathic personality traits. You need to have a certain level of detachment to be able to handle the intense pressure of surgery and to live with bad outcomes, let alone cut into someone in the first place, but too much and you can cross the line from healthy detachment into egomaniacal butcher; for a particularly horrific example, see Christopher Duntsch a.k.a. "Dr. Death".
