People have to get out of the mindset that all doctors get paid well. Please. This is so incredibly inaccurate and makes it hard for conditions to improve for doctors that do not do well.
The hourly rate for some doctors (mostly non-procedural) are much much lower than people realise and is only made up for my doing ridiculous hours. This is just not right.
This delusion that all doctors do well financially draws more poor students into the long training commitment only to find out at the end that with all the debt and sacrificed family hours and stress (having been through this) they are going nowhere financially.
Looking after patients can be a great and fulfilling career but this depends so much on the particular speciality you choose and the work life balance that it provides.
Next time you see your ED physician or family practitioner feel sorry for them. The shit and conditions they deal with and poor renumeration is something you simply don't understand.
