Lets be honest. This post has really gone off base. It started as a post of a Dr joke which is at least 5 years old. Not so funny any more, but who cares. There are physicians like myself who hunt, own guns, and are as " real American' as anybody else on this forum- 15 years active duty Army and 20 years in the reserve. I haven't worked a 40 hour work week in 35 years. More like 60 and during residency more like 160. I spent 15 years after High School in training to do what I do. Those years were spent earning less per hour than the average reader of this forum makes. I work my butt off everyday hoping to save a few folks from dieing prematurley from a disease I hope I can prevent and to relieve those suffering from current conditions that I can treat.
To link every physician or any other catagory of worker in the US to a mold based on your personal experience is wrong. Personally, I beleieve our medical care systen is so messed up because free enterprise allows them to bill for what the patient wants, not what they need.
However, I am open to any and all "Doctor jokes" and hope to hear them all
