Hmm. Something to think about.
Physicians spend about 40,000 hours training and over $300,000 on their education, yet the amount of money they earn per hour is only a few dollars more than a high school teacher. Physicians spend over a decade of potential earning, saving and investing time training and taking on more debt, debt that isn’t tax deductible. When they finish training and finally have an income – they are taxed heavily and must repay their debt with what remains. The cost of tuition, the length of training and the U.S. tax code places physicians into a deceptive financial situation.
This is what I’m going into O.O
I have been saying this since 2007 to friends. No one believes me. But if you follow the trends of government and medicine, you can see it more and more. I know at least 16 physicians were fired in two major hospitals in Chicago due to cuts. CUTS IN HOSPITALS. Doctors no longer have the stability they once did.

Interesting to read and analyze. Future physicians (who may be in it solely for the money) may want to take note.
