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!"

Great post.
The good thing is that I believe the majority of people in the field are there for the reasons that you are there. The people who are running away because of this bill won't be missed.
