He lost me with his drivel about physician pay. Paid out of proportion to other professions in society? What about our pay in proportion to the time, training, and debt we take on? 4 years undergrad, 4 years medical school, AND the 3-7 years of forced training where we make the equivalent of about $12 an hour (50K for a resident at 80hrs a week is about $12/hr). For someone married to an accountant, he seems a bit ignorant in that regards...

Once I read this: " I think on the whole we are overcompensated as physicians—it’s out of hand and inequitable, we are paid out of proportion to other professions in society."

I immediately determined that this guy was a tool and simultaneously stopped reading and instantly regretted reading any of this assha-t's interview.
