"The problem is American doctors are smug elitist's who believe they're worth half a million dollars a year and american society believes they're worth it too (possibly through watching too much medical dramas on television).
Every other country in the world treats theur doctor's as humanitarians who deserve an above average but honest wage."
After at least 10 years of schooling (plus the debt), grueling work, and 12+ hour work days for many years, doctor's deserve the high wage. When you first start out as a doctor, you don't get that much. It only happens after specialization.
Other countries also pay developers $5/hour and you forget to mention that the cost of living in many "other countries" is significantly lower.
- marshallp 17y agoMedical training is equally tough in most/all other countries. Cost of living is higher in most western european countries and japan than in the US, but their doctors are paid less than US doctors.
