other citizens with blatant falsehoods. On talk radio I heard a lament that in 20 years there won't be any doctors. After all they spent $100,000 and 10 years of their lives on education and they have a right to expect to earn enormous salaries... My response is what about all of the pHDs out there who have spent just as much time and money on their preparation for their profession. Nurses, educators, social workers with advanced degrees are supposed to be satisfied with bupkis while MD's who are frequently far less educated make more than 20 times as much money. Who are we kidding here? Why do doctors have a right to earn so much more than the other professions? Let take a long hard look at those that are fighting to keep things as they are. Maybe they aren't happy with the basic beliefs in this country after all. MJN | 10.5.09 @ 1:02AM I don't get it....people question a doctors right to earn big bucks after they expend a large monetary investment and 10 years of their lives to attain the necessary schooling but have no problem with someone earning a seven figure salary for playing basketball or starring in a movie. What makes us admire and even praise these people who do nothing to improve our lives while criticizing medical professionals who quietly toil to provide us with a better quality of life. Are we really that jealous and shallow. Shannon | 10.5.09 @ 11:05AM Good
