It’s not the doctors. It’s their corporate overlords. Doctors are getting fucked by the system too. I have a friend that decided to become a doctor after already attending three years of college. By the time he was a resident, he realized he’d never be able to pay off his student loans with an internist’s income, and had to go back to med school for a specialty.
He also said that his first medical group was so scummy that they held regular meetings about the doctor’s reviews. No, not their treatment records or patient comments, the fucking reviews on ratemydoc and Google. Someone complained that he didn’t prescribe antibiotics even though the patient “knew” they had an infection, and the advisors straight up told him to prescribe them if someone asks for them moving forward. It’s fucking gross.
