Is it attracts psychopaths, or attracts potential psychopaths, or makes them psychopaths with power going to their heads?

Re: These Are the Top 10 Jobs Most Likely to Attract Psychopaths
forgot to quote--this is in response to poster who questioned difference between a doctor and a surgeon.
-------------------------------------------------------------​-

A surgeon is always a doctor but a doctor is not always a surgeon.

Surgeons are often perceived as having big egos and they do literally hold the difference between life and death in their hands, so perhaps this added self-confidence is a good thing. Some are said to develop a 'God complex', which can make human interaction difficult. Certainly not all of them fit this stereotype.

Not really. It's the two ways Medicine is divided:

you either go into Surgery or you go into Medicine.

you can specialize within those two tracts. Surgeons make horrible medical doctors and internal med doctors make horrible surgeons.

CEO is not a "profession". CEO is a title standing for Chief Executive Officer. You don't go to college to study to be a "CEO". You might however major in business. This board is full of morans and the list is made up.
