[quote=Anonymous]PP with family friend at SEC.

I feel like this whole thread turned to money, but that was was just one facet of my argument against my kids going into medicine.

The brutal hours that never fully normalize, inhumane treatment during a very long and expensive training, and increasing need to treat patients as you are told to do so by an algorithm concocted by an MBA. And the push push push to go faster. I can’t take the time I need and there is no wiggle room for a complex case. And insurance reimbursement drives so much of what I am allowed to do.

It seems that many here think doctors just should be happy. Well, they are not. So they are retiring in droves or moving to industry. Which is why we have a shortage, the ones who are sticking it out are overstretched, and it’s increasingly hard to get an appointment with a doc (even for those of us who can “phone a friend”). Surely people understand that there is a reason for that? It’s not just a few random whiners on DCUM.[/quote]
