Food for thought....the average person has absolutely no clue about what it entails to become a surgeon. I hear people bitch about 40 hour work weeks and I just can't help myself but laugh. I remember as a surgical resident I would easily work 90-100 hrs a week.....and that's not a typo. Oh yeah did I mention residents get paid below minimum wage! Thankfully, Congress intervened and residents are limited to working 80 hrs a week...LOL!! They are essentially sweat shop workers!!
I feel terrible for CT surgeons. They are getting robbed by managed health care. I assure you that if the average American had the intelligence and toughness to become a surgeon/physician they would not bitch about health care costs. As a society we need to stop thinking, "Health care should be free for everyone." and "The MD should be sued if there is a less than perfect outcome."
So in a nutshell......1) Insurance companies need to step in line, 2) Health care should not be free for everyone (Go tell that to Clinton/Obama), 3) Frivolous law suits need to come to an end.
