[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, physicians are relatively to very well compensated for their work. Therefore, they're not altruistic. End of discussion. This isn't an insult. It's just a statement of fact. That some may derive value from the nature of the work and helping others doesn't make it altruistic. [/quote] Dh is a surgeon. I do not consider his profession altruistic. He provides a service and gets paid for it like everyone else. He went to school for a long time, had med school loans and a family to support. He does have great job satisfaction. He literally saves lives and gets paid for it. The patients complaining about follow ups should be glad that you are well enough to feel like you don’t need a follow up. With surgery, you should go to the post op follow up.[/quote]
