You know, I have heard so many older MDs say they wouldn't recommend anyone go into medicine....when I was going into medical school! It's one of those things. Older physicians see the glass as half empty. They used to be able to do anything the wanted to do without documenting anything. I think that medicine is a very rewarding field and the majority of us are and will remain well paid. In fact, if I was told today that I had to go back and start medical school again today, I'd do it all over again! No questions asked.
I think that people going into medicine need to go into it with their eyes open and need to go for the right reasons. It's no longer a field where you can print money. It should be a calling. I'm here to help people. I should be compensated for being highly educated, but their is no reason that I should have unlimited compesation and no reason I should cheat the system. When I hear people say they will leave medicine because of this new bill, I want to say, "Here's the door!"
