some people put general..others put all the specialties they are applying...the idea is if you put general, the letter writer writes a "general" LOR which fits to all..If you want to apply only surgery or any other specialty, you should make sure to write the specialty you are applying (in my highest opinion!) so that the LOR would contain something about your surgical skills how much you are interested in doign surgery, how surgery would be suitable for you...so the writer would personilize for surgery application...
good luck, yangu....
