Only in America will you ever hear “my debt was only 300, 000 because school was free”

[m____lote]

Doctors in debt, patients in debit

Such a great life

[joe]

People basically get punished for trying to teach and heal.

[lilakaye]

And they wonder why there aren’t enough people wanting to become doctors and even nurses. They make programs so hard to get into and even harder to make it through them.

[anothernamlesscommenter]

It's ridiculous that they make becoming a doctors so terribly hard and risky unnecassarily. The doctors suffer the paitents suffer and the corperations and insurance companies have all the fun in the world without a care

When my husband was a pediatric intern he made $3 an hour. Our kids qualified for WIC and reduced school lunches until he was a fellow.

At some point in time every physician stops practicing medicine and starts practicing insurance protocols.

[ridingwilding]

Husband’s cousin left medical school with debts close to million. Had large family. After working as family doctor for a few years they decided to enter a program where in exchange for him work ing in a area of USA that didn’t have many doctors, usually a large rural area, for an agreed upon amount of time they would completely pay all his schooling debt off. He ended up in rural area of Indiana. Not sure how long he was there, but he left with no school debt.

[kiwi_]

Hold up, his debt was still 300k and he was just paying living expenses?

[XakPhane]

That’s why you HAVE to be certain that you want to become a doctor. School isn’t cheap and the life sacrifices they make are not for the faint of heart.

[dereakcolumbus]

I have a doctor friend at my church who is 27 who confirms what Dr. Mike is saying here. He worked his residency hours 50 -60+hours per week

[elck]

So if for any reason you decide to stop pursuing the residency or later practitioner status, you’re screwed with massive debt.

[LvckyGG]

Clear sign of where the US system has failed 500k for a medical degree 🤯 or any other college degree. With me living in Switzerland now i‘ll pay a total of around about 10k total for my degree worth the exact same education that i‘d get in the US

[Trailerwalker]

These people rarely see home life until they’re too old to really do their job as well as their boss wants them to

“my debt was only 300, 000 because school was free”

[xtradelite]

Unfortunately, there is a decline in the Family Physician because many new doctors want to make more money as a specialist (i e. dermatology, surgeon, etc).

[dsolomon]

I’ve never understood how residents get paid so little. It’s not like you go from being barely more valuable than a CNA, and then once you complete your residency your value skyrockets. Residents should probably be paid $100-140k, or maybe start at $100k and have it increase each year of residency the closer you are to completion. The more value you bring, the less hand-holding you need, the more you should be earning.

[yajy]

People in residency should be paid way more than that. Insane hours, a job that’s incredibly stressful and a job that’s absolutely necessary for a healthy population shouldn’t pay next to nothing.

[connieh.]

Doctors are a good to society. Why would you punish them financially for becoming doctors.

[spiderg]

Its crazy how the insurance companies only allow a few people to graduate, leaving qualified people behind. The American Healthcare system isnt about healing
