I think the most difficult aspect of the discussion of medicine is medicine and money. Are doctor’s who practice good medicine but focus on raising personal income just as good, deservable, and moral as doctors who just practice good medicine?

Are doctor’s allowed to be and publically accepted to make big incomes (not $155,000 as is the median income but several hundred thousand)?
