[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is wrong with wanting to be paid for the work you do? What other field doesn’t get paid for their efforts? Why would someone slave away studying for years and not want to be fairly compensated?[/quote] Absolutely nothing wrong with that, but don't pretend that you're altruistic. It's a profession, not the priesthood. [/quote] There are plenty of bad doctors but also plenty who, while certainly varied and flawed as is any segment of the population, view it as “more than a job” in that they feel a moral obligation to their professional responsibilities that IS different than many other jobs. I’m the last person to say doctors are uniformly noble but to pretend there aren’t many who feel an ethical duty beyond strictly what they’re paid for or are legally obligated to do is absurd. You would definitely notice the difference if all doctors started behaving like that. [/quote]
