[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is Dr. Rob really going on a motorcycle trip or something else?  Mental health seems tenuous.

And Joy is working some side gig she doesn't want to share? she made the comment about it was actually costing her money to stay late.

Will Dana and the older temp nurse get into over differing political views?

Was hoping for a little peek at Dr. Jack for the night shift change. [/quote]

Joy's comment about not getting paid is because she is literally not getting paid -- she is a medical student, not an employee, and she does not get paid. What she actually says is "actually the opposite" because as a student she is paying tuition during her rotations. So she's paying like 60k a year for the privilege of being a student doctor at the hospital. Some programs offer stipends, but not all, and they are not a lot of money.

That's why Whitaker was living in the hospital last year, and why it was a big deal with Santos offered to let him stay with her rent free. Becoming a doctor is an insane financial proposition. And residents don't even make very much money, it's like 50-90k depending on where you work and how senior you are. And you are paying off thousands of dollars in loans at the same time. It's only once you become an attending that your income goes way up, but by then you are generally in your 30s. [/quote]
