You must spend a long time in residency with brutal working hours and typically very little pay. It's been a well known complaint for years that this system tends to naturally exclude people who don't come from privilege.
- defrost 3y agoIn my student days there was an entire street scheduled for expansion that had 80 odd houses down one side as cheap rents by the main roads department, I shared a house with seven other students, four were medical, none came from any privilege other than relatively secure working class - two came from farmers, one from a boilermaker, the other from a telecom line working family. There are people willing to work long hours for little return with the prospect of a better job after an apprenticeship. Medical degrees are offered globally, not all locations only allow the children of privilege to become doctors.
