I never thought I would gain medical knowledge from watching Seinfeld, but is proctologist a real medical specialisation? And would a proctologist really have a waiting room where people go with things shoved up their arse??

❓ Question
Fans discuss whether proctology is a real medical specialty and confirm it is, noting the episode's humor around Frank ending up with the pasta sculpture in an unfortunate place.

Yes, it is a real medical specialty.
It could be possible that George's father sees a proctologist for other problems, and his office was closer than going to an ER, assuming they called ahead and he was able to take him.

I wonder after all those years in medical school why someone would want to specialise there?
It was a very funny episode. When the fusseli Jerry was introduced it was obvious given the references to proctology where it was going to end up. The question was who's gonna get it up 'em? Poor Frank.
