I’m with you.
Let’s get with those who want to serve, not those who seek only to make a gob of money.
Money’s fine, but medicine (long long ago) stopped being primarily about medicine, and started being about degrees.
Imho.
“Let’s get with those who want to serve, not those who seek only to make a gob of money.”
Medical School costs upward of $150,000 and 6-8+ years to complete. I would say that the doctors are correct in desiring a high amount of money due to the opportunity costs (and monetary) of attending Med School.
What other incentive is there for the majority of people besides money? Yes some love the profession but the money is a prime motivating factor for spending all that time and money in school. You take away that incentive and you will have reduced Med School enrollment and lower quality doctors.

What other mechanism do we have to ensure that we have doctors who know what the heck they are doing? What mechanism would you suggest?
