“what doctors would like to know…why you stupid assholes keep coming in for viral uri?”

To help you pay for your big-arse houses, your Escalades, your country club membership, your titanium golf clubs, your vacation ski condo in Colorado, private school for your kids, etc.

And, God forbid you should agree to see a Medicaid patient, to help defray the costs since our wonderful govt. doesn’t seem to be helping much.

You’re welcome.

You are such an idiot.

I drive a chevy, I rent and hopefully will have down payment on my first house this year, I don’t ski or golf and my kids go to public school. Perhaps YOU can help me pay off my 150,000 K in student loans. But keep on the prejudging.

PS: I also still see medicaid patient’s and every time I vaccinate somebody part of the money comes out of my practice. I put my money where my mouth is, when is the last time YOU did.

Bitter? Oh…a tad.

Deep breath….don’t forget that nobody is forcing you to stay in this profession. If you resent it that badly, then find something else!

I work in medicine, too, and if I was that angry about everything, I’d find something else to do. I went to school for a couple of different degrees before ending up where I am now, and I do this because I love it. Are there annoying things and angering things? Sure…but I try not to let that control my whole sense of self.

Peds in an urban setting. It’s definitely not all roses, but it has its moments!
