Becoming a doctor is a great achievement. IMHO

There are also downsides too:
1. Some doctors pass away at an early age as they work very long hours. Some have been known to work a 100 hours per week between their practice and hospital rounds. They also have the burden of reading all of the medical periodical to keep up with the latest advance in medicine. Sometimes their families suffer, from their absence.
2. My old family doctor quit medicine when he had to deal with insurance companies as to what test they would approve. He complained to me he was arguing with a nurse who was denying a claim as he was thinking, "where did she get her medical degree"? I'm sure they have staff that deals with that sort of thing so they can concentrate on their medical practice.
3. A long time ago, doctors were a well respected member of the community that made house calls. Their knowledge was valued and they had a greater a greater compassion for their patients.

Personally, I would not have the desire or drive to put up with the myriad of things that needed to be done, to have great practice. I would be wondering if it, was all worth it?

Today, they get sued, at the drop of a hat!!!

BTW - My old doctor in CT died from cancer, a couple of years after he left his practice! It's a shame, as he was a good guy, who never got to enjoy retirement.
