[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of you are completely missing the opportunity cost to go into these different specialties. My wife is a liver/kidney/pancreas transplant surgeon and did 4 years of med school, 7 years of general surgery residency (5 years + 2 research years), and a 2 year transplant specific fellowship. 13 years after graduation with 9 of those years being paid very little.

Trust me, she would have made far more in other fields with how intelligent/driven she is, but she actually values helping her patients over $$$. This is just one example, but how is this worse than some random overworked investment banker or lawyer?[/quote]

Her colleagues abroad make far less and their patients have better outcomes in a better system.  They could also go into banking or whatever.  No career is “owed” outrageous pay.💰 [/quote]
That is true but what is it in particular that leads people to post it here? Why not lawyers, insurance exs or tech bros? This is a constant refrain on here (that doctors make too much).  [/quote]
