Physicians are in an incredibly privileged position.
In no other profession can one murder a quarter million Americans annually(1) via chart reading apathy or gross incompetence at multiplying by 10, and not only keep one's job, but get paid for rendering the botched services, as well.
Imagine being a plumber who gets paid after making your customers' leaks ten times worse. That's the life of every doctor in the US.
