anyone who gives up their youth(at least 10 yrs) to study and work to become a doctor does it not for the money but for the innate drive to help humanity as an esteemed member of the heath profession.The lay public will never understand this fact.Taking the Hippocratic Oath is an honor few get to do.

Some do. But I know a lot of doctors and for over 30 years have dealt with the financial affairs of many. I have yet to meet one that wasn't concerned about collecting the money and maximizing profits, just like any other businessperson.

only one girl talk about helping people, well sort of, she like kids so she was gonna be a pedo. but drive a cherry read corvette

People go to medical school for the money. Don't kid yourself.

Pubo,

Take away the money and you'll see far fewer qualified students entering med school.

Time to give up this pollyannish notion that doctors are oh-so-altruistic.
