wrong. you will lose some people who can currently afford med school who are in it for the money, yeah. and that’s not a bad thing imo but there are countless individuals who would love to be doctors for the right reasons, and who ARE our best and brightest, who just can’t afford med school/the application process.

I’ll tell you right now, the most competitive specialties are the ones that make the most money. Call me crazy but I want the smartest person in the room to be operating in my brain if I ever need a neurosurgeon. And I want the best one. How are they motivated to be the best? By knowing they can make a shit ton of money by being the best.

you might not be motivated by any sort of moral compass, but that doesn’t apply to everyone lmao the real best and brightest - the ones who innovate, the ones who keep pushing for better outcomes - have passion outside of expected compensation.

It’s not. I deliberately chose a number that’s like, “making a pretty good living” that doesn’t make you fabulously wealthy. Which I think is reasonable

Call me crazy but I think one of the hardest working professions with some of the smartest people on the planet deserve to be fabulously wealthy.

that’s a completely different question. and like i never look at a very good doctor and go “they shouldn’t make a lot of money”. the pediatric ortho at Boston children’s that saved my life when I was 15 probably makes a shit ton and I think that’s great But he is good AND he makes a lot of money; not BECAUSE he makes a lot. And people who get into the job for the wrong reasons are actively dangerous.

And don’t last long. Mr. Medical Malpractice here is going to find out how little ego will take you in any respectable position in the medical field.

Buddy medicine is full of egos. You have no idea lol. Every academic big Whig has the biggest fucking ego you’ve ever seen. Ever heard of the fact that surgeons have god-complexes? The difference is, we’re smart enough to not do that to a patient’s face.
