Medical school makes you dead inside, which is very practical to work long hours and not worrying about dying on the outside :) As a European working in the US

As a European working in the US medical system, my general impression is that US people fear death much more than in Europe, where people bother much more about suffering than dying in itself. I don't really understand why, but americans seem in my experience far more willing to undergo invasive procedures to live longer, even if it means bad quality life.
