The ones who are still working, you mean.

Have you given consideration to a new career when the medical field becomes too odious to continue? I've had a few co-workers who left medicine for the software industry. It's amazing how much disposable income is available when you aren't paying exorbitant malpractice premiums and getting substandard payment for your services.

One of my co-workers spent significant time in OB/GYN. He is still having to remind himself that VB means Visual Basic in a software shop.

Heh.

I think a lot of people don’t understand how physicians are paid or how malpractice insurance actually works. They seem to think practioners are paid an exhorbitant salary for something that should be a right; beyond that, they don’t think.
