That was a great article. Although I hear about it everyday, and read about it everywhere, including this article, its crazy to think that I'll never totally fathom how much crap you have to do on the side as a physician, financially speaking that is, until I go thru it myself. Even me, who understands that doctors need to make a living and that this profession isn't for someone who is whole-heartedly all in it just for helping people, I'll never fully understand or appreciate all the financial stuff that practicing physicians go through until I'm actually in the thick of it, and by then, I most likely wont give it up at that point. In saying that, maybe it might be better if I just stop and pursue something else, but my ignorance keeps me going, and as of now, i still hold a spot for hope that I will be able to completely forget about the finances of my profession strictly because of the fact that I "help people"...i guess like the article says, once doctors realize they are businessmen, things will be clearer for them
