It’s already unrealistic to get paid 500k. You want to become a doctor and earn that much? You need to actually take part of that 500k and turn your fucking office into a teaching facility.

I think it’s fucking disgusting the amount doctors get paid. It’s revolting and evil the way health is held hostage for money.

I don’t care if it’s a 35 percent tax bracket I have very little respect or appreciation for doctors who want to coast and get paid 500k while I have to pay 1000 just to get some uvb shined on my fucking skin. Like seriously some of these treatments are outta this world expensive and doctors charge an arm and leg just to have a goddamn intern shine a light on my skin.

Who am I to decide how much someone deserves? How about when all your patients are disgusted by you and your fucking money making tendencies then come talk to me about being entitled. The only reason why I’m not shining that light on myself is because the law forms a cartel and allows you to literally steal money from me. The AMA lobbies congress to limit the amount of residency spots. It’s a cartel. Don’t blame the government. Blame the business interests that limit the government.

People used to respect doctors. Now the majority of people I know fucking hate them. Your comment really pissed me off. I don’t think you’re aware at how much people in the US hate doctors. It’s like their life is in your hands so they don’t tell you first hand what they hate about you.

How about you cut your pay to 100k and increase the supply of doctors 10x so you have an easier time and can be more affective? Do you actually think what you do is so professional that only you can do it? The whole md degree is a gate keeping tool.
