[quote=Anonymous]I'm an Internist and practice only at a homeless shelter. My full-time job is purely administrative and related directly to medicine. I think am altruistic and I try hard to bring altruism into everything I do in my very bureaucratic-heavy workplace where the bottom line is always top of mind. The struggle to be altruistic when you are seen as nothing but a revenue-generating cog is very difficult and for doctors we feel it in practice and in administration. Our society does not value what many doctors are able to do and comprehend. The training is very difficult and not for the faint of heart. We are critical thinkers with the ability to slice through the noise to find the root of a problem, but we are not treated that way by society, one another, or our employers. Many doctors are simply employees these days and we are our own worst enemies. [/quote]
