Yeah, life’s pretty miserable for a doctor...but they’ll keep trundling their paychecks to the bank.
Actually, the point of the article is that many of the primary care physicians won’t.
Not exactly, the debt they took up for their medical education will take years to repay before they get anything out of it. And the work just eats up your life like no other.
I don't think you appreciate the aggravation or the 60 - 70 hour work week that many in primary care have to endure.
We’ve got a couple dozen doctors in our town and everyone of them are greedy little SOB’s. I don’t exaggerate. Somewhere along the line “care” has been taken out of “healthcare”.
If all you want is to make money, you can do as well or better than a primary care physician over your entire career by working as a UPS truck driver. The doctor may make more per year, but there are fewer years in his career. The benefits for the UPS driver are WAY better, too.
There are plenty of New York City cops or DC bus drivers or Boston educrats who knock down more money than many doctors, with much less stress and sweat.

Move to Canada if you don’t like our doctors. Jealosy makes you look bad.
