[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So OP, surely you understand that the ones who bring in the revenue , in any business, are the ones who get paid the most. If you are a cardiac surgeon who performs complex congenital heart defect repairs on infants, you bring in tons of revenue and you’re going to be paid well. Public defenders don’t bring in revenue so of course they aren’t paid as well. Big law partners do bring in revenue. See the trend?[/quote]

Gee, so all those med students who say they want to enter into medicine "to help people" and not for the money were full of S all along, huh?

Of course, in America, medicine is about revenue, NPV, and cash flows.   No wonder medicine in the US sucks ass and is bottom of the barrel garbage.[/quote]

This tired argument comes out every time a doctor or a nurse or a teacher (or, on another thread, a PT or SLP) mentions wanting to be compensated for their expertise, you come and say “oh I thought you were doing this to HELP PEOPLE not GET PAID”. Like, grow up. No one is going to train for 8-12 years while going into significant debt and then not expect to get paid for their expertise. The difference is, pediatric cardiac surgeons ALSO want to help children survive. They want to use their brains and their hands to do good in their community. Also wanting to be compensated fairly for that doesn’t turn them into a corporate monster. [/quote]
