Breast Specialists
Although the breasts are not commonly thought of as genitalia they are linked to the reproductive system through a woman's cervix. Breast specialists are recommended by a local doctor to determine if a woman has breast cancer or any abnormal lumps. They feel the breasts and underarm areas for any signs of unusual development.
They work out of a hospital setting and are normally referred to by another doctor. Depending on what the breast specialist does determines how much money they make. If they just check for lumps they will normally make what an average doctor or nurse makes. If they actually help in the treatment of breast cancer then they make much more.
