Well, I think that's quite different. First of all, you could say that a
surgeon _does_ practice as a hobby considering the vast amount of
education/training that is spent to become qualified in that profession.
 Also, while certainly not all, but many doctors work long hours ( and make
good money doing it <g> ).

You also have to consider the logistics of practicing surgery as a hobby
<bg>. If you did find a surgeon practicing surgery in his basement, I
wouldn't call him dedicated but a rather sick man <g>.

All jests aside, the truth is that someone who loves what they do exudes
enthusiasm and passion when talking about it.  For instance, when someone
makes the mistake of bring up anything computer/electronic/manufacturing (
my passions), they generally can't get me to shutup <g>.
