If you don't have anything nice to say, go see a shrink & find out why you have the need to project your anger at someone else.
Hypocrisy is a b$#ch...
95% of the posts on this site are undoubtably sarcastic and we should see more of the humor in posts by these people.
Seeing as you do know the answers to the question originally asked, but want clarification without being ridiculed, I would first do a search on this topic using the tools provided. Dentistry and medicine can be related on a few levels:
Schooling: About the same until you graduate from dental school and your MD pal has 3-4 more years of residency minimum (something like that). When you hit your stride in private practice as a GD or specialist you will be working 3-6 days a week depending on your personal investments, time, etc., but this will be by choice. The MD will be on call for the rest of his career. Sometimes working up to 60 or 80 hours a week even when he is in private practice and his own boss.
Dentists work in the mouth. They use fine motor skills, improve the oral health and sometimes are involved in general health of the patients, like noticing things like high blood pressure, leukemia, cancer, etc.
Money wise: it can depend. Dentists make anywhere from 60K to 400K a year. Take home. Even these numbers can be higher or lower. A dentist working 3 satellite offices with 4 associates can bring in a much higher number. One dentist with a two chair show in the middle of a large city can bring home less. Dentist overhead is very high. They don't deal with the government controlling their fees (they can charge whatever they want).
Hope that helps, like someone said, shadow a couple people in each field and see what they do, listen, learn, and take everything with a grain of salt (especially this forum) and find out for yourself what you want to do, because if we all listened to inhispanties...er, drawer
😀 and did whatever he said we would be doing things differently.
