Every field should be like derm, I don't know why there's so much hate. Props to them for keeping a good wage with reasonable hours.
Jealousy and a lack of understanding of what Derm actually is/involves.
Part of the problem likely stems from our poor ability to convey to medical students the breadth of dermatological disease. As a result, we end up with dolts like Instatewaiter who, whether they genuinely believe it or not, propagate the idea that Derm is all acne and eczema (and cosmetics!).
I respect all specialties (although that is not synonymous with all specialists). I find it unfortunate that working conditions for many of them are less than desirable. I find it ridiculous and kind of sad that the overlying sentiment by many in those fields is that they would prefer us to come join them in their misery rather than improve their own working conditions.
It's easy to throw stones from a glass house when you're never home anyway.
