Many things convinced me to leave medical school, fifteen years ago, but a major professional consideration occurred during my emergency medicine rotation: I got into an ongoing, public, verbal dispute with the dean of our public US school (over a kickback he was receiving, at student expense). (To lend credibility to my jaded recollection/POV, that semester we both left that medical school) This experience with then-Dean, JD, opened my eyes to the cutthroat nature of a (even back then) massively-privatizing healthcare system... which I decided I couldn't morally/fiscally afford to become a part of. So thank you Dr. B... you helped me realize there are soooo many other ways to make money (honestly) helping people.
