The experience that the author describes is not much different than a fancy lawyer's or that of a Wall Street finance person. They all knew about the long hours, but money is more attractive...

Despite what you may think, many are not in it for the money, but genuinely enjoy their work (but wish it was fewer hours) and helping patients. In the U.S., some hospitals are seeing residents and fellows truly refusing to accept the status quo—they are voting to unionize in hopes they will be able to finally upend the exploitative system (at least for trainees).
