    I’m with you but it’s not the doctor it’s the hospital administrators who live like the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

      For real, I know there are exceptions, but I’ve worked with tons of doctors and not one gave two shits about someone’s ability to pay. They would often argue with administration to help people who couldn’t pay

        The doctor has $375k in loans they need to start paying back pretty soon.

        It’ll be 20 years before they’re in a cushy private office with (only) a 50hr work week.

        The issue largely exists in the healthcare industry (administration/insurance) that has grown up around actual medical providers and serve as middlemen and gatekeepers.
