Most of you who attack doctors have no idea how this complex health care system works. Doctors are UNDERpaid. A majority of the billing goes to overhead for the hospital facilities, nurses, labs, meds, administrators, etc, with doctors getting much less than 10% of the revenue even though they are responsible for generating most of it. Your resident doctor friend (who has way more qualifications than your software engineer friend - including top tier college, and medical school) gets paid about 60-70k a year for working at least 80 hours a week. Yes, the man or woman who assists in your brain surgery after your aneurysm popped gets paid less than your uber driver for 7 years time, and he sacrificed his/her best years to be a sleep deprived medical student and then brain surgeon working under constant rush and stress, as their 300k med school debt accumulated under high compound interest. Meanwhile, your mediocre software engineer friend graduates debt free, gets paid 160k out of college to build the next best sexting app, at a company with free lunch and gym. Also, don't forget about the malpractices. 10 years down the line, your radiologist friend gets successfully sued for 11 million dollars bc the parents of a child for whom they read a chest radiograph decided to sue because lawyer convinced the parent and jury that radiologist was at fault for not saying the heart is enlarged and somehow that is responsible for all the kids ailments later on in life (the truth is much more complex than that). The radiologist probably got paid 7.50$ for that read, btw. This is actually a true story, look it up in the Boston Globe. Now all providers are on edge and overdiagnosing and overordering everything - who would want to miss a diagnosis.
