Yes, people should learn about the profitability of their chosen careers before going down that path.

They are not asked to run their own business, they can work for hospitals and clinics. Having a private practice is a choice that comes with potential rewards and risks.

Lots of entrepreneurs fail every day. Being in school for a decade doesn’t magically remove the possibility of failure. People of all professions that can’t pivot or adapt are NGMI. This is not new

Do you not see the problem if doctors are not paid for what they do?

Good luck finding a doctor the next time your sick. Or, if you do find one, it will most likely be an IMG that isn’t properly trained to perform your surgery.

If we want proper care, we need to pay for it. Doctors are not the problem. The litigations, bureaucracy and administration are.

You have no idea what they sacrifice, unless you are one, are the child of one, or are married to one.

Sorry if I’m wrong, but I’m guessing you’re none of these.

Lots of people sacrifice. That people don’t romanticize the guys going on boats to fish for months in the freezing ocean or go work at oil fields is another thing.

No one is saying doctors as a whole are the problem. They however are not immune to markets and failure in the business world should they try to start their own practice.

Health care is just another market good. No need to get in our feelings. If red tape is an issue for some doctors in some jurisdictions then they should react accordingly and that will create the necessary political pressure to change the regulatory environment that caused the problem.
