I have a friend who is a doctor pharmacist. Every time we meet I feel genuinely bad for her. She works 12 hour days, in what basically is retail. She is required to push vaccinations and meet quotas. Stands all day, can't step out for lunch. It gets insanely repetitive. Honestly, I would not be able to do it. I was on friendly terms with my primary physician and he was also miserable. Insurance kept fighting his decisions to save money. He was getting pushed to see more patients and become more efficient. He often told me he is not happy in medicine and was jealous of me getting a CS degree and considered it himself, but felt too old. I've had health issues over the years and only met one passionate doctor in Palo Alto, that was wealthy enough to pursue whatever he wanted in medicine. However, I feel as we push for more efficiency people everywhere will have a lower satisfaction and higher burnout. They may initially be excited to work harder for higher pay but eventually they will realize they miss being able to have a slower day and chat with other people.
