<p>to CC’er. just shut your mouth and take the SAT first</p>

<p>From the NY Times, a great article with perpectives from docs about economics in medicine:
[Doctors&#8217</a>; Pay, a Key to Health Care Reform - Room for Debate Blog - NYTimes.com](<a href=“http://roomfordebate.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/18/better-medical-care-for-less/]Doctors’”>Doctors' Pay, a Key to Health Care Reform - The New York Times)</p>

<p>lol curious-kosher. </p>

<p>I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re just CC’er under a different handle.</p>

204

<p>haha, good call on that one phony</p>

205

<p>These people keep forgetting that doctors make high salaries, but over fewer years. Therefore they make a lot less money overall. I don’t understand why this is so hard for people to get.</p>

<p>BDM:</p>

<p>It’s easy/convenient for people to forget about the 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and 3-5 years of residency. And this doesn’t include fellowship or switching residencies.</p>

207

<p>I think you meant,</p>

<p>BDM:</p>

<p>People are ■■■■■■■■.</p>

208

<p>Well, insult the ignorant all you want, but there’s no reason to catch the mentally disabled in the crossfire.</p>

<p>The amount of money physicians make in the US is significantly higher compared to most other countries. The gap caused by expenses and time spent in school (4 years of undergrad + 4 years of med school + 4 years residency average) is overcome fairly quickly. </p>

<p>In latin american and european countries you may have a total of 5-6 years of medical school (after high school), followed by whatever time you spend “specializing”. There seems to be a difference of two years, at the most. If all this training were free (which it is not) then you would have zero debt, compared to a 200 k debt in our country. In the US, an MD will likely earn twice what an overseas MD earns in his first year of practice. After a couple of years, the difference is even more dramatic.</p>

<p>Kosher,
I won’t even respond to you because clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. BTW, it’s not “internalist”, it’s internist. And this is how you spell this word: anesthesiologists. </p>

<p>There are much easier ways to make money than to go to medical school. If you are motivated by money only, you will probably be unhappy. I see this time and time again. Seriously. From someone who is in med school.</p>

211

<p>isn’t it quite odd how CC’er has stopped responding, and curious-kosher, a “new” member is suddenly exhibiting character traits that are really similar to that of CC’er’s?</p>

212

<p>****If you look at Curious Kosher’s “chance me” thread and CC’er 's “chance me” threads, they are almost exactly the same </p>

<p>hahhaa CC’er stopped using his account and created a new one called curious-kosher…hahahaha this thread keeps getting funnier…</p>
