Endocrinologists are medical specialists who focus on the endocrine system, which is responsible for hormone production and regulation. Metabolic disorders, such as diabetes (related to insulin - a hormone), are directly related to the endocrine system's function. Antibiotic treatments are usually prescribed by general practitioners or infectious disease specialists. Vascular consultations are for problems related to blood vessels (vascular system), which is part of the circulatory system. Malleolus excisions are surgical procedures related to the ankle (malleolus is a bony prominence of the ankle), which is more in the realm of orthopedic or general surgeons.
