“If you don’t know a kidney from a gall bladder, you shouldn’t be doing surgery”
Man there goes my alternate career plans. This story made me think it would be easy.
Nobody switches mid-career to become a doctor, but with Obamacare many will be switching out to something more lucrative, and never coming back. We'll have to import doctors trained in third-world countries, start letting nurses perform surgery, and lower the bar for medical school so low they will be graduating affirmative-action idiots. The motivation for smart people to work hard and become a doctor is mostly the prestige, not the pay. Once the prestige and public respect for the profession is gone, so are all the smart people.
