I thought this was a meme and doctors only pay a very small amount in malpractice insurance

You're a fucking piece of shit and everything that's wrong with medicine in America. I really, really, really hope you fucking kill yourself and fortunately, I know the changes are above average if you're telling the truth about which field you work in. Good riddance.

The us medical system is a scam designed to fleece seniors out of their insurance money. Anything outside of a hospital or a PCP is pretty much an insurance mill. Orthodontics and oncology clinics are the worst offenders too. Psychiatrists who charge $500 an hour to talk to worried well house wives while the genuinely mentally ill are ending up in prisonsen masse are the worst imho.

No even hospitals are money-sucking parasites. If I didn't get free lipid panels for going to my doctor, I'd never see him. Doctors don't ever help with fucking shit unless you need surgery or a specific drug and can beg/con/guilt your shit doctor into finally allowing you to have it to save your fucking life.
Yeah, & still paying the loans off. I was one of those favs that s3lf-diagnosed every ailment I saw in my 3rd year. Pharm now & doing well, but FUCK. I was not cut out for med school, even though I did exemplary.
