    The issue with the high-paying medical profession is that it attracts 2 kinds of people: nice people who want to do good and help people, and self-centered people who want to feel powerful and in-control while making a bunch of money. The latter are the reason for shit like this. I’d bet that she doesn’t care about children at all, and just wants to feel powerful, while raking in the cash from rich people looking to use her license to validate their terrible behavior.

      People in the first category seem to be getting pushed out of the profession, to the extent that many good doctors remain so despite their professional role which had shifted away from being a healer toward being a vehicle that huge hospital conglomerates exploit to goose more profits out of sick people

        Have a friend that’s finishing med school and going to residency this summer. Everything about it is insane and they all know it and power through. If you get accepted you’re moving around more than the military and paying through the nose for the privilege while seemingly half the “teachers” (working doctors) are worked to death and the other half are completely checked out.
