Keep in mind that docs have to pay , pay back incredible loans, pay for staff if they are in private practice, give up massive portions of their lives, etc. You couldn't pay me enough to do that.

i have seen docs right out of school that go into private practice and they have unbelievable student loans, frequently young children they work very hard esp if they do not have a partner to give some time off

if yo work hard for something you deserve what you get

:yeah:Well said. Don't want to be a doc. Do they deserve their high pay? Most of the time, yes. Does this give them (or anyone else) the right to be a jerk? No. Do nurses deserve more than they're paid? Yes. Do I have a solution to the problem? Not yet.

I dont know any profession who doesnt think they need to be paid more!! lol
